What are the shape and characteristics of the leaves of the Chinese rose?
Do you know these? Let's understand the shape and characteristics of the leaves of the Chinese rose and the green plant flower planting content about the propagation methods of the Chinese rose together.
A few days ago, Rongjie answered a question about the differences between Chinese roses and roses. Although Rongjie has already mentioned some differences, there are still some flower friends who think that Rongjie's analysis is not clear enough. Now Rongjie will write a detailed article about Chinese roses and roses, hoping to help those in need.
Chinese roses and roses are both popular flower varieties, and many flower shops will say that they sell cut Chinese roses as roses. Both Chinese roses and roses belong to the Rosaceae family, Rosaceae, but although these two flowers may look similar, they have many different aspects. These differences mainly include: different blooming periods, different shapes, whether they have fragrance or not, different longevity of the flowers, and whether they are edible. Let's analyze them one by one.
The leaves of the large and beautiful Chinese rose are glossy and without wrinkles.
Different blooming periods
Chinese rose: Both Chinese roses and roses are called "rose" in English, and "rose" translated into Chinese means rose. Chinese roses and roses are very distinct in our country, hence the terms "Chinese rose" and "rose."
People call Chinese roses "Chinese rose" because as long as the temperature is suitable, Chinese roses can bloom beautiful flowers every month of the year. Therefore, people also call Chinese roses "monthly red" or "eternal spring." The following image is a Chinese rose.
Chinese roses have large flowers with a long vase life.
Rose: When roses bloom, they have a strong fragrance, but the blooming time of roses is relatively short, usually from May to June. Some roses will also bloom in autumn, but they cannot bloom every month like Chinese roses, and in terms of variety, color, and ornamental value, they are not as beautiful as Chinese roses. Therefore, from an ornamental perspective, Chinese roses are superior to roses. The following image is a rose.
Rose leaves have 5-9 leaves, the leaf color is a bit yellow, the veins are more distinct, and there are wrinkles.
Different shapes
Leaf difference: The leaves of Chinese roses consist of 3-5 small leaves on each petiole, and the leaves are glossy, round, and full. stipules and petioles are fused. The leaves of roses consist of 5-9 small leaves on each petiole, the leaves are elliptical, the backs of the leaves have a slight whitish bloom, and the veins on the leaves are more distinct, giving a wrinkled appearance.
Flower difference: The flowers of Chinese roses are solitary or cluster, growing at the top of the branches, with short peduncles. The flowers of roses have petals shaped like inverted ovals. The flowers are solitary or cluster, growing in the axils of the leaves. The petals have some thin pubescence. The peduncles of roses are thin and long, so they always hang down, hence the lyrics "The shy rose blooms silently."
Roses have more and denser thorns, and the flowers are fragrant.
Stem difference: The stems of Chinese roses are thicker with fewer thorns. The stems of roses are more delicate, like a delicate beauty. However, there are many thorns on the stems, which are quite dense, hence the saying "The rose blooms fragrant and beautiful, but he says the rose has thorns that can cause distress."
Fruit shape difference: The fruits of Chinese roses are more abundant because Chinese roses bloom for a longer time. The fruits are orange-yellow with some brightness. The fruits of roses are much fewer because most rose varieties bloom once a year. Moreover, rose fruits mature in August to September, with greater brightness and hardness, and the fruit shape is a flattened sphere, like a crystal-clear gem.
Chinese roses are easier to store, and most varieties are not fragrant.
Roses are very fragrant, while some Chinese roses have a fragrance and some do not
Not all Chinese roses have a fragrance; some varieties have bright colors but no aromatic scent. Some varieties have a slight fragrance, and some have a strong fragrance. It can be said that not all Chinese rose varieties have a strong fragrance. Roses are different; all varieties of roses, whether single or double-petaled, have a strong fragrance that can be detected from a distance.
Different longevity of flowers
After cutting Chinese rose flowers, if placed in water and kept in a cool place, the flowers can be preserved for a few days. After picking roses, even if they are placed in water like Chinese roses and kept in a cool place, they will quickly wither. Moreover, if freshly picked roses are not processed, they will quickly wither. Therefore, roses sold in flower shops are mostly made with cut Chinese roses, which is one of the reasons why many people confuse Chinese roses and roses.
Roses have a shorter vase life and are not as beautiful as Chinese roses.
Roses can be made into rose jam, rose wine, and used for tea, while few varieties of Chinese roses are edible
Chinese roses are called the "queen of flowers" mainly because they have large and beautiful flowers and diverse varieties, especially in May, when the flowers are more colorful. However, few varieties of Chinese roses are edible, although Chinese roses have the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, there are still very few varieties that are truly edible.
Roses not only have a fragrance but can also be eaten. We can crush roses with sugar or black plums, expose them to the sun, and place them in ceramic jars, keeping their color and fragrance for many years. We can also dry rose buds and use them as tea to beautify and nourish the skin. Moreover, roses can be extracted to produce expensive rose essential oil, which is as valuable as one and a half kilograms of gold, so people also call roses the "golden flower."
Conclusion
Although Chinese roses and roses have many differences, the methods of cultivating them are basically the same because they both belong to the Rosaceae family, Rosaceae. However, their shapes, edibility, blooming periods, and longevity of flowers still have many different points. I hope that flower friends can understand some of the differences between Chinese roses and roses through Rongjie's article and then easily distinguish between them.
The above is a specific introduction to the shape and characteristics of the leaves of the Chinese rose and the propagation methods of the Chinese rose. I hope everyone will like it!
