Generally, the flowers have dark spots in the basal portion. Poppies bloom in a specific period, that is, in late spring and early summer, and the fruit is a unilocular capsule that contains numerous seeds.

Both the petals and their central capsules are used to combat cough attacks and asthma and to facilitate insomniac sleep. The petals can be prepared as tisana or syrup and, in some regions of Spain, are served in salad. With their seeds, rich in oil, are prepared edible cakes typical of some countries of the East, place of origin of the poppy.

The number of species is around one hundred, the majority originating from Asia and a small number from Europe, North America and Africa. Both species and cultivars and hybrids are cultivated as ornamentals for the beauty and fragrance of their flower; but also for the extraction of essential oil, used in perfumery and cosmetics, medicinal and gastronomic uses.

The main species involved in cultivars are: Rosa moschata, Rosa gallica, Rosa × damascena, Rosa wichuraiana, Rosa californica and Rosa rugosa. Rose growers in the 20th century focused on size and color, to produce large, attractive flowers, albeit with little or no scent.
