Rose Poem

rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa (/ˈroʊzə/),[4] in the family Rosaceae (/roʊˈzeɪsiːˌiː/),[4] or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.[5] They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.[6] Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through pinks, reds, oranges and yellows. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to EuropeNorth America, and Northwest Africa.[6] Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses to climbers that can reach seven meters in height.[6] Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.

  • Fixed Widths: An element containing the text has a fixed width (e.g., width: 730px; as seen in a forum post example) which prevents it from shrinking on smaller screens.
  • white-space property: A CSS property like white-space: nowrap; or white-space: pre; has been applied to the text container, explicitly telling the browser not to wrap the text.
  • Floated Elements/Row Layouts: When using floats or certain row layouts to position images or other elements, the text might not clear the float correctly in the mobile view, causing it to run off-screen.
  • Minimum Width: A min-width property set higher than 480px can force the container to maintain a minimum size, causing overflow. 

Solutions

You need to inspect the CSS using your browser's developer tools and adjust the properties for screens under 480px. 

  • Adjust Container Widths: Ensure that the element's width is flexible (e.g., width: 100%; or a percentage) and that no fixed min-width is overriding this on smaller screens.
  • Check white-space: If white-space: nowrap; is the issue, you can override it for mobile views using a media query:
