About 5000 years ago, roses grew in China. According to historical records, Pingyin, the hometown of roses in China, was cultivated in the Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years. The word "rose" was not a flower name at first. In Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was interpreted as "a rose, a beautiful stone, a rose and a round pearl." It means that roses are the most beautiful in jade and the most beautiful in jewelry. The word "rose" also appeared many times in Sima Xiangru's works in the Western Han Dynasty. For example, in Han's Preface Fu, "the stone is a red jade rose".

"Rose" was not a flower name at first, but when this flower was introduced, people thought it was too beautiful. Those beautiful names had been given to other flowers, so it was called "Rose" and later became popular.
