Two adaptations that can be seen on the rose plant are thorns and bright colored flowers. Thorns are adaptations for defense as they help protect the plant from being eaten by herbivores. They act as a deterrent and make it difficult for animals to access the plant. The bright colored flowers are adaptations for reproduction as they attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. These pollinators help in the transfer of pollen from one flower to another, aiding in the plant's reproduction and survival. Additionally, the bright colors also act as a signal to potential pollinators that there is nectar available, further increasing the chances of successful pollination.
