Brief introduction of the author: Hualuo in Chunshan, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The graduate student of Zhejiang University is studying. Lovers of flowers and trees.

Roses represent the mysteries of love, magic, hope and life itself.

The rose represents love, magic, hope, and the mystery of life itself. [1]

Her name, rosa, means red in Latin and refers to the color of roses.

Red, in color psychology, is also a symbol of enthusiasm, sex appeal, prestige and self-confidence.

No wonder roses are closely related to love.

However, after studying botany, when I see roses, I always think to myself: is this really a rose?

Most people remember the image of a rose as a "fake rose".

I still remember the painstaking words of the teacher in the botany class: girls! Remember, roses have thorns! There are not roses without thorns, but roses are sold in florists. It is better to send a piece of chocolate than a handful of rose.

You can still eat chocolate.

O. O Oh.

But when I was single, I said there was no rose and no chocolate.

Sad...

Let's look at the same beautiful real roses.

Looking at the unopened rose bud in the first photo, I can't help but think of rose tea.

I also remembered that when I was shooting, I bowed my head and approached the bud, and I really smelled the fragrance of rose tea.

It's not surprising that they are the same thing.

Take a closer look at the third picture. What is this red, red and yellow fruit?

Do you think it's a wild tomato, like me?

No, it's a rose fruit.

"Fruit oblate, brick red, fleshy, smooth, sepals persistent. The flowering period is from May to June and the fruiting period is from August to September. "

Do you see the persistent sepals under the fruit? This is one of the differences between roses and roses. Rose fruit, sepals will fall off early, and rose actually rarely bear fruit.

Rose fruits not only look like tomatoes, but are not necessarily inferior to tomatoes in nutrients: "(rose) fruits are rich in vitamin C, glucose, fructose, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid and carotene."

Come to think of it, the times are progressing. If we take the botany class now, it is impossible to say that the earnest teachings of the teachers will become: don't send rose, send rose tea, rose cake, rose fruit, rose essential oil are all good, beauty, which is not better than the rose pretending to be a rose?

That's what you said.

Is to send rose, it is also generous to say that rose, in terms of flower pattern, rose is not weaker than roses. There's no need to get the wrong guy.

Do you see the thick prickles on the stem?

Draw the point! These are real roses. The rose does not have so many thorns, only scattered, thick prickles.

This kind of prickle is also the true portrayal of "twigs with erect or curved, yellowish prickles and tomentose outside" in the Flora of China. Only such a prickle will dissuade those who do not really pick roses. Will also let people, when picking roses carefully, fear of being stabbed in the hand.

The fruit of rose is rare, and there is some lack of evidence to distinguish rose rose from the number of prickles.

At this time, we should pay attention to the leaves of roses. After all, leaves are the easiest plant organs to observe.

First put the theoretical basis: (extracted from the Flora of China)

Rose leaves: apex acute or obtuse, base rounded or broadly cuneate, margin acutely serrate, dark green above, glabrous, veins sunken, wrinkled, gray-green below, midrib raised, reticulate veins conspicuous, densely tomentose and glandular hairy.

Rose leaves: apex long acuminate or acuminate, base subrounded or broadly cuneate, margin sharply serrated, both sides nearly glabrous, dark green above, often glossy, lighter below.

Popularly speaking, the rose leaves are more concave and convex and appear rough, while the rose leaves are often smooth and shiny.

Well, that's what the comparison picture is like.

On the night of July 7 of that year, we met in the Hall of Everlasting Life, and in the middle of the night we both whispered vows to heaven.

Weaver Girl and Cowherd, Yuhuan and Ming Emperor, their love is mournful and pitiful, and their love is not the appearance of roses.

Occasionally I will feel that Qixi Festival, this ancient Women's Day, its characteristics are slim, soft and beautiful, and it is not suitable to give such warm and flamboyant flowers as roses.

What matches it is du Mu's candlelight moonlight coldly reflecting the screen, gently raising a fan to chase the flying fireflies. The night is as cold as water, sitting alone watching Petunia and Vega. "

The love of Titanic is what a rose looks like-passionate, direct, bright and moving.

Fall in love at first sight and die for love.

Magnificent and magnanimous.

Doesn't Ruth's English name, Rose, come from Rose?

A rose is a rose.

She has beautiful flowers, sweet fragrance and attractive fruit, but she also has thorns.

No matter what is missing, she is no longer a rose.

The same is true of love, there is sweetness and bitterness, waiting and giving.

It only depends on whether you are willing to water her, kill her caterpillars, listen to her grievances and pride, listen to her silence, and make her your unique rose.

As the famous saying of American woman writer and poet Gertrude Stein: A rose is a rose is a rose.

A rose is love.

Love is also a rose.
