Two adaptations I see on the rose plant are thorns and bright colors. Thorns are a defense adaptation for the rose plant, as they help protect it from herbivores and prevent them from eating the leaves or flowers. The thorns act as a deterrent and effectively safeguard the plant's integrity. On the other hand, the bright colors of the rose flowers are an adaptation for reproduction. The vibrant colors attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, increasing the chances of successful pollination and subsequent production of seeds, ensuring the survival and reproduction of the rose plant.
