Difference between roses and Chinese roses
An explanation about roses and Chinese roses, the difference between roses and Chinese roses, next is a comprehensive introduction.
The difference between roses and Chinese roses has always confused新手 (novice) gardening enthusiasts. Since "rose" has more romantic connotations than "Chinese rose," clever merchants have given Chinese roses the title of "rose." This has made it even more confusing for gardening enthusiasts. In fact, roses are a plant closely related to Chinese roses. Below, we will distinguish between roses and Chinese roses based on their characteristics and with the help of images and text.
From a botanical perspective, "Chinese rose" and "rose" are two different flowers belonging to the Rosaceae family, Rosaceae. There are differences in their plant形态 (morphology). "Chinese rose" is an upright shrub with thorny branches, smooth leaves, and blooms throughout the four seasons with various flower colors. "Rose," although also an upright shrub, has more thorns and bristles on its branches, leaves with wrinkles, blooms once in spring, and the flower colors are mostly red and white.
Chinese roses are commonly known as "monthly red," "eternal spring flower," and "monthly flower," etc., and are native to China. Their notable feature is that they bloom continuously throughout the four seasons. In the Beijing area, they can bloom from the end of May to the end of October. Generally, Chinese roses do not have a strong fragrance. The leaves of Chinese roses are smooth and hairless on both sides, and the stems have thorns but no hair. Most of the Chinese roses we see today are modern varieties that have been artificially bred over a long period. They are richer in flower shape, color, and plant shape than the original Chinese roses and have higher ornamental value.
