Roses are graceful in shape, bright in color and fragrant in smell. they are not only a symbol of love, but also the first choice for Valentine's Day, but do you know that the so-called roses sold in flower markets and flower shops are all modern roses, although modern roses have the lineage of roses? but they are not really botanical roses. Let's take a look at the difference between roses and roses.

The difference between roses and rose leaves

Rose pinnately compound leaves composed of 7-9 leaflets, leaflets elliptic or long-elliptic-Obovate, apex acute or obtuse, margin obtusely serrate, leaves 2-5 cm long, surface green, glabrous, dull, veins sunken and wrinkled, abaxially slightly powdery and pilose, petiole tomentose and prickly, stipules half of leaf length. The leaves of Chinese rose are pinnately compound composed of 3-5 leaflets, leaflets broadly ovate or ovate-oblong, apex pointed, margin serrated, 2.5-6 cm long, both sides glabrous, surface green, flat, smooth, non-wrinkled, glossy, petiole spiny or unarmed, stipules 1/3 of petiole length.

The difference between rose and rose stem

Rose stem erect clump, tender stem green, turn brown the following year, old stem gray-brown with gray powder, stem base with thick prickles and sharp and dense small thorns, three-year-old stem base thick prickles fall off, stems are thick prickles, branches are strong, about 2 meters high, dense needles and bristles, branchlets are densely tomentose. The stem of rose is erect, and the branches of some varieties are longer and trailing. Tender stems green, slightly reddish, some purplish red, prickly or unprickly, all glabrous, prickles hooked, scattered and few, old branches grayish brown, prickles falling off.

The difference between roses and rose fruits

Rose fruit oblate, 2-2.5 cm in diameter, brick red, fleshy, sepals persistent, flowering from May to June, fruiting from August to September. The fruit of rose is ovoid or pear-shaped, 1-2 cm in diameter, red, sepals deciduous, flowering from April to September, fruiting from June to November.

The difference between rose and rose root

The main roots of rose and rose are not developed, and the branched roots and fibrous roots are well developed. The horizontal roots of roses can take root and tiller, which can be used to reproduce new plants, but there are no root tillers in rose.

The difference between roses and rose flowers

1. Color: roses are purple, pink and white. There are many colors of rose, such as white, red, pink, purple, yellow and green, with different shades, some with stripes and spots or complex colors.

2. Flower type: rose and rose flowers can be divided into single, double and semidouble flowers, but the size and shape of the flowers are different. When the roses are in full bloom, they are flattened and disk-shaped, with a diameter of 6 cm to 8 cm, the largest 10 cm, solitary or several flowers gathered in leaf axils, short pedicel, spiny, and smooth receptacle. The rose flowers vary in size, with a small flower diameter of only 2 cm to 3 cm and a large flower diameter of 10 cm to 20 cm, with various petals.

3. Style: rose style with synthetic head, stuffed at the mouth of the receptacle. Rose style free, protruding beyond the receptacle, very long.

4. Calyx: the calyx of rose and rose is 5 pieces. The calyx of a rose is mostly petal-shaped, and when the flower opens, the calyx and the flower develop at the same time. When the rose is not yet open, the sepals open first, and when the flowers open, the sepals roll back, usually pinnate.

5. Lifespan: the life span of a single rose is generally 1 day, or at most 2 days. It usually opens in the morning and withered in the evening. The life span of rose flowers is 3-5 days short and 7-10 days long.
