Differences between Chinese roses and roses
Chinese roses and roses are different in terms of flowers, leaves, and stems. Let's take a look at the specific differences!
Difference in flowers
If we look at the flowers, the flowers of Chinese roses are definitely larger than those of roses. In terms of color, roses only have red, white, purple, etc., but Chinese roses have a variety of colors, including not only the colors we often see but also some rare colors, such as green.
Difference in leaves
In terms of leaf appearance, the leaves of Chinese roses have a shiny and bright surface, and the edges of the leaves have sawteeth, which is a characteristic of Chinese roses. However, the surface veins of Chinese rose leaves are not many, making them look very comfortable, and from a distance, the leaf surface appears very flat.
The leaf surface of roses also has veins, but they are visible from the front, and when looking at rose leaves from a distance, they are not very flat. One significant difference is that the back of Chinese rose leaves has no down, while roses do.
Difference in stems
Although rose stems have thorns, the thorns are very small and densely packed, and the thorns of roses grow vertically on the stems. Most importantly, the thorns of roses do not have hooks, while the thorns of Chinese roses do. Another difference between roses and Chinese roses is that in addition to thorns, rose stems also have down, but Chinese roses only have thorns.
