The question is ambiguous and the answer depends on whether it refers to the leaf of a rose plant or the plant commonly known as Roseleaf.

The leaf of a rose plant has no specific scientific name. Botanically a leaf is called a leaf, although in certain instances it may be referred to as "laminate" or "lamella" depending on the context.

The Roseleaf plant on the other hand is botanically (or scientifically) known as Rubus rosifolius, (syn. Rubus rosaefolius) also known as roseleaf bramble, West Indian raspberry, thimbleberry

Florists mix baby's-breath among the larger flowers in bouquets for a delicate effect.

The most common type of baby's-breath is a perennial (there are over 100 species of Gypsophila), which lives from year to year.

However, a few related plants often called baby's-breath are annuals, and are grown from seeds each year. These plants have rose or pink flowers. Baby's-breath is easy to grow. It is often found in dry, open places.

Baby's-breath belongs to the pink family, Caryophyllaceae.

The scientific name for the perennial baby's-breath is Gypsophila panicula and the more common annual species Gypsophila elegans

Rosa is the latin(scientific) name for the flower Rose.

A rose is a perennial flower of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species and comes in a variety of colours. Most are armed with sharp thorns along the stems. Most are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Many strains are widely grown for their beauty and fragrance.

*Please note that there are many Gena in the cactus family.

A xerophyte or xerophytic organism (xeromeaning dry, phyte meaning plant) is a plant which is able to survive in an environment with little available water or moisture, usually in environments where potential evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation for all or part of the growing season. Plants like the cacti and other succulents are typically found in deserts where low rainfall amounts are the norm, but xerophytes such as the bromeliads can also be found in moist habitats such as tropical forests, exploiting niches where water supplies are limited or too intermittent for mesophytic plants. Plants that live under arctic conditions may also have a need for xerophytic adaptations, as water is unavailable for uptake when the ground is frozen. Their leaves are covered with silvery hairs (creates wind break & light reflective surface).

Adaptations of xerophytes include reduced permeability of the epidermal layer, stomata and cuticle to maintain optimal amounts of water in the tissues by reducing transpiration, adaptations of the root system to acquire water from deep underground sources or directly from humid atmospheres (as in epiphytic orchids), and succulence, or storage of water in swollen stems, leaves or root tissues. The typical morphological consequences of these adaptations are collectively calle
