@ Madhuri ji, I was also wondering if Malus is the genus of all apples.
The Term "Malus and Bonus" we here so often, which indicatescontractual
incentive and sanction system between parties. Why then Malus (Penalty)
for an apple.
I searched and found the following information: (free translation from:
http://www.montalegre-do-cercal.com/Pflanzenlexikon/Malus.html)
/TheLatin word Malus means "Penalty", translates as "evil". Eva seduced
Adam in paradise with an apple. Apple = Malus?
At the same time the emperor holds a golden apple in the hands, everyone
knows the story of William Tell even today. The apple has been playing
very long time an important role in human culture. Over thousands of
years apples were a symbol of wealth, love and fertility./
I don't know about other languages but in german there are so many
proverbs around Apple.
@ Narendra ji,
I wanted to add some more information to your mail:

interesting information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose
another piece of interesting Info can be found on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses. (German Rosenkrieg).
The Term Rosenkrieg is used in German language for WORD-WAR between a
couple.
