The characteristics of Chinese rose

1. It has strong cold resistance and can endure a low temperature of-15 degrees.

2. Most of the flowers are small, and the petals are usually 5.

3. The taste is sweet, and the thorns on the branches are small and large, so they are easy to see.

4. The rose blossoms throughout the four seasons, so it is known as the "queen of flowers".
