This is a picture of roses. Roses are a type of flower that have modified leaves. A modified leaf is an adaptation to a leaf that is used to benefit the plant and serves a unique function. Due to the smell of the roses, thorns were adapted to protect it from being eaten by animals that were attracted to its smell. There are many other species of plants that have similar modified leaves such as thistles, aloe, and cacti.
