Doesn't sound made up

A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears.

Sounds made up

Apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds are all members of the rose family (Rosaceae).
