What is the difference between roses and Chinese roses?
For the netizens who are concerned, a detailed explanation of the differences between roses and Chinese roses, as well as the methods to distinguish between them, is provided. Next, the editor of the website will introduce some floral knowledge to the netizens.
Roses and Chinese roses are both very beautiful flowers. As the saying goes, " Giving roses leaves a fragrance on your hands." Although these two plants are of different varieties, they look particularly similar and are not easy to distinguish in general. So, where exactly is the difference between roses and Chinese roses? Ordinarily, flower lovers can tell the difference by looking at these four points.
Differences between roses and Chinese roses
1. Leaves
Many flower lovers say that the simplest way to distinguish between roses and Chinese roses is to look at the leaves. Indeed, there is a very noticeable difference between the leaves of the two plants. The leaves of Chinese roses are glossy and have a waxy sheen, with sawtooth edges and fewer surface veins, giving them a smoother and more intact appearance.
The leaves of roses do not look as complete and smooth because they have more veins, which can be easily seen. The most distinguishing feature is that the leaves of roses are not glossy but have small downy hairs that can be seen and felt with the hand.
2. Flowers
Judging from appearance alone, the common red flowers of Chinese roses and roses are not easy to distinguish. However, a closer look reveals that roses only have red, white, and purple flowers, whereas Chinese roses also have rare colors like green. Moreover, the flowers of Chinese roses are larger than those of roses.
3. Stems
Whether in literary works or real life, it is well known that roses have thorns. However, Chinese rose stems also have small thorns. The difference is that the thorns of roses are small, dense, and prickly without hooks, while the thorns of Chinese roses are明显 larger and also have downy hair on the stems.
4. Fruits
Actually, they can also be distinguished from their fruits, but both have few chances to bear fruit. The fruit of Chinese roses is spherical, while the fruit of roses is oblate, and roses generally appear smaller in size.
