Is the Rose the Same as the Chinese Rose?
The rose is not the same as the Chinese rose. There are obvious differences in appearance between the two. The rose plant is taller, with thorny stems, rough leaf surfaces, and flowers that are usually conical corymbs growing at the top of the branches. The Chinese rose plant is shorter, with flat thorns on the stems, smooth leaf surfaces, and fewer branches, with only one or two flowers.
1. -- Differences in Stems --
The rose plant is taller, reaching two to three meters high, with long and lightweight stems, vines or climbing branches, and larger thorns with hooks that are perpendicular to the branches. The Chinese rose plant is shorter, not exceeding two meters high, but with upright branches, flat thorns on the stems, and small hooks at the tip.
2. -- Different Leaves --
The leaves of the rose are rough with complex textures, with five to nine small leaves per leaf, serrated edges, flat leaves, and dense fine hairs. The leaves of the Chinese rose are smoother, with不明显 (not clear) textures, fewer in number, with a shiny appearance, and very few small leaves, only three to five.
3. -- Different Flowers --
Rose flowers usually cluster six to seven times, with conical corymbs growing at the top of the branches, flower diameter of about three centimeters, blooming once a year, usually in spring and summer, with leaves falling after flowering. The Chinese rose has fewer flowers on the branches, only one or two, and the sepals do not fall off after the flowers wither.
4. -- Different Blooming Periods --
The blooming period of the rose is relatively short, usually between the transition from spring to summer, typically blooming in May and June, with slight variations depending on the region and climate conditions. A few varieties also bloom when it's warmer in spring and autumn. The blooming period of the Chinese rose is long, from April to September every year, blooming every month, hence the name "monthly red."
