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, but was interpreted as "rose, beauty of stone, rose and round pearl" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. 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, such as "Stone is a ruby rose" in Zi Xufu. So the rose is a kind of gem, and its color is purple. The time when rose was used as a flower name was the Tang Dynasty, which should be because the color of rose and rose gem was similar.
The difference between Chinese rose and Chinese rose;
1. Leaves are different: rose leaves are different from rose leaves. Rose leaves are wide, smooth and shiny, with 4-5 leaflets, and the Ye Jin is not obvious, with sharp serrations at the edge. Rose leaves are small, thick and dull, with white fur on the back.
2, the thorns are different: the thorns of roses grow on the epidermis, and the thorns are large, usually 3-4 per section, which is easy to break, but the thorns of roses are stem thorns, with small thorns and dense distribution. If you accidentally touch them, it will damage the skin and bleed. The stems of Chinese rose flowers have no fluff, and there are few thorns, but they are very big. There are about three or four thorns in each section, and there are hooks at the top of the thorns.
3. Different flowers: Chinese rose flowers are relatively large, with a diameter of about 8- 10 cm. There are single petals, double petals and semi-double petals, and the edges are turned out and tilted, but the rose shape is small and flat, showing a disc shape, and the petals generally have three rounds, which are tightly wrapped.
4. Different colors: Chinese rose is rich in color, some varieties have stripes, spots and complex colors, but the color of roses is very single, not as rich as Chinese rose, and the common colors in life are purple, pink, red and white.
