The difference between thorny rose and rose

If we look at the appearance of the rose and the thorny rose, there doesn't seem to be much difference. Because both the thorny rose and the rose are plants of the genus Rosa under the Rosaceae family, they have a lot in common in terms of living habits and appearance. But if you are good at gardening, you can easily distinguish which is the thorny rose and which is the rose.

Rose (thorny rose), plant name. A deciduous shrub with slender, creeping stems and densely covered small thorns on the branches. It has pinnate leaves with obovate or oblong leaflets and white or light pink, fragrant flowers. The flowers can be used for ornamental purposes and the fruits can be used as medicine. Also refers to the flowers of this plant.

In the poem Ode to Roses by Jiang Hong of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, it says: "Rose is planted in front of the door, its branches and leaves are too luxuriant." In the poem Inscribed on the Guest's Farm by Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty, it says: "Elm pods cover the ground in front of the cart, and roses soak in water and shoot through the fence."

Gao Pian’s poem “Summer in the Mountain Pavilion” says: “The crystal curtain moves in the breeze, and the rose bushes are full of fragrance in the yard.” When Tang Li Jilan was six years old, she wrote a poem about roses: "It has lasted for a long time, and my mood is in a mess."

Rose is also known as the wandering flower, assassin, and piercing rose. A shrub of the genus Rosa in the Rosaceae family. As an agricultural crop, its flowers are mainly used as food and for extracting essential rose oil. Rose oil is more valuable than its weight in gold and is used in industries such as cosmetics, food, and fine chemicals. The three heroes of the Rosaceae family - rose, rose chinensis and rose, are actually all plants of the genus Rosa.

In Chinese, people are accustomed to calling the varieties with large-diameter, solitary flowers as roses, those with small, clustered flowers as roses, and those that can be used to extract essences as roses. But in English they are all called rose. There are approximately 30,000 officially registered varieties of Rose. In fact, there are more than 200 major species under the genus Rosa. However, it is called rose abroad. This is the rose described and spoken by ancient Chinese people. There are only more than 80 major species of Asian roses, which are called "rose" according to Chinese tradition. In addition, cut roses are actually Chinese roses. The "Bulgarian Rose" is actually Rosa damascena. The authentic "Bulgarian rose essential oil" is actually Turkic rose essential oil. Rose belongs to the Rosaceae family, subfamily Rosoideae, genus Rosa. It is a deciduous shrub with thorny branches. Odd-pinnate compound leaves, 5-9 leaflets, elliptical, with marginal spines, wrinkled surface, most of the stipules are fused with the petiole. The flowers are solitary or clustered together, purple-red and fragrant. The cut flower "rose" is actually a Chinese rose, which comes in colors such as pink, red, yellow and white.
