Roses have been cultivated for thousands of years, admired for their beauty. Despite their use in fragrance, skincare and even in teas and jams, there are some things, however, that we still don’t know about these symbolic flowers.

The CERN particle-physics lab near Geneva has released plans for the 15bn SwFr (£13bn) Future Circular Collider (FCC) – a huge 91 km circumference machine. The three-volume feasibility study, released yesterday, calls for the giant accelerator to collide electrons with positrons to study the Higgs boson in unprecedented detail. If built, the FCC would replace the 27 km Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will come to an end in the early 2040s.
