The three sisters of Yueji, Rose and Rose are stupid and can't tell the difference, what is the difference? Is the "rose" given to a lover a "real rose" or a "moon season"? In order to sort out this problem, we have to start from the concept of the Municipal Greening and City Appearance Bureau has given us popular science, let's take a look
Moon, roses, roses
Teach you to distinguish between the three Rose sisters.
How to define the categories of roses, moons, and roses?
rosa (rosa) is a family of relatives under the rosaceae, there are nearly 200 wild species in the world, widely distributed in the north temperate region, the east and the west have their own characteristic species, but for how to name this type of plant, there are some obvious differences between the east and the west: in the daily life of Westerners, they tend to simplify, collectively call this type of plant rosa (this is the Latin etymology, in English to say rose), but in scientific research, they are very cautious, Very strict Latin names are used to distinguish between different species. In Oriental Chinese, such plants are generally not collectively referred to, but are called by different names, to name a few examples, commonly used are rose, thorn rose, rose, yueji, woody, tulip, etc., among which rose, rose and yueji are the most common.
Rose
In Chinese, it refers to such plants other than the native Chinese moon and roses, especially the climbing species with clusters of small flowers and small leaves. Rosa Multiflora (Seven Sisters is a well-known variety).
Nowadays, the botanical and horticultural circles in China usually use the word rose to refer to all plants of the Rosa genus: if you see a plant with the word rosa rose in its Western name, and there is no customary translation, it will be translated as a certain rose; If the plant of the rosa genus does not have a customary Chinese name, it is also called a certain rose.
Similarly, the Chinese names of related genera (rosa: rosaceae) and other taxonomic units are also hung with the word "rose".
Monthly season
In Chinese, the original refers to the traditional Chinese flower Yueji (rosa chinensis), which has a wide variety of varieties. English calls it Chinese rose. The large flowers are often solitary, multi-colored, with three to five leaflets, and the leaf surface is relatively bright. Its much-talked-about trait is that it can bloom multiple times a year, which is not found in all Western-native Rosa plants, and is also an excellent gene for the modern moon season to flourish.
In addition to the traditional Chinese Yueji, the plant called Yueji today also refers to the modern hybrid rose (sometimes called hybrid Yueji) that was cultivated by the Yueji hybrid.
Roses
In Chinese, it originally refers to the native Chinese spice plant rose (rosa rugosa), and in English it is called rugosa rose (roughly meaning: wrinkled leaf rose) or Japanese rose (roughly meaning: Japanese rose). The large flowers are often solitary, purplish-red to white, with leaflets five to nine, and the leaf surface is wrinkled. It is not as popular as the moon season in the ornamental field and is often used to make rose sugar, etc.
Various ornamental or spice roses (such as the famous damask rose, rosa damascena) were introduced to China and were also called roses, but these Western traditional roses are actually very different from the native roses in China.

All of them are climbing vines, with slender stems and overgrown branches or thorny branches. The stem or peduncle is sparsely triangular with spurs.
Pinnate compound leaves, leaflets 5-7, small leaves.
The flowers are small, often clustered, in the form of conical umbel inflorescences, born at the end of the branches. It is often single-petaled or semi-double-petaled, and the flower color is mostly red.

In the end, rose, which represents love
Moon, rose or rose?
Rose has been a symbol of love and beauty in the West for thousands of years, whether it is the traditional Western Rose or the modern hybrid Rose bred with the moon season.
But when the idea of rose = love came to China, things went haywire. The original rose = love has become rose = love, but rose and rose do not have the clear correspondence between red and red. Ancient Westerners almost never saw what the original Chinese rose (rosa rugosa) looked like, and Chinese actually didn't quite understand which plants the rose in the eyes of Westerners referred to?
As a result, there are all kinds of ridiculous claims based on false rumors, such as claiming that only roses (rosa rugosa) are roses that represent love, and that all they sell in flower shops are moon seasons, so they cannot represent love. Actually, it's notThese three common types of Rose sisters can all speak for love
