How to distinguish the rose moon season? What do we generally buy in the moon?

From a botanical point of view, "rose" and "rose" are two different "species" belonging to the genus Rosaceae, and the plant morphology is different: "rosa chinensis" is an erect shrub with bark thorns on its branches, smooth leaves, flowering in all seasons, and more flower colors; "Rose" (rosa rugosa) is also an erect shrub, but its branches are prickly and bristle, and its leaves are wrinkled, and it blooms in the spring and its flowers are mostly purple-red and white. Therefore, it is obviously wrong to equate "moon flowers" with "roses".

More than 200 years ago, China's moon season flower was introduced to Europe, after the efforts of many generations of breeders, in 1867 bred the "modern rose" (modern rose), the moon season flower development to a new stage, the twentieth century, the modern moon season returned to its hometown, become an important flower in China's daily life, people still call it "moon season". However, it has a different meaning from the original "Yueji Flower", because the "modern Yueji" is based on the Chinese "Yueji Flower" and dissolves the blood of "rose" and "wild rose", which is not only the development of the Chinese Yueji flower, but also the inheritance of the Chinese Yueji flower. Therefore, the modern moon season includes not only the "moon flower", "rose", "wild rose" and other rosy plants, but also their hybrid offspring, which has a wider meaning.

The word "rose" in the United Kingdom, France and other countries is a common name for the plant of the genus Rose, in fact, including a variety of wild roses, moon flowers, roses and other plants, may be our predecessors translators do not know much about this, in all the "English-Chinese", "French-Chinese" and "German-Chinese" dictionaries, the word "rose" ("rosen") only has an explanation of "rose", so the word "rose" is translated as "rose", which is also an important reason for the long time to cause the moon season and roses are not distinguished.

In Hong Kong, Taiwan and other regions of our country, due to the influence of foreign countries, the moon season has been called roses, and affected the Guangdong region, for example, the moon season garden in Shenzhen is called the "Rose Palace", and the literary works also crown the moon season in life with the elegant name of "rose", and the moon season cut flowers are commonly called roses, what "send you a rose", "nine hundred and ninety-nine roses" and so on, in fact, this name is not accurate enough.

1. Color. Roses are generally pink, white and rose-red.

The colors of the moon season are relatively rich, and our common ones are red, white, orange, and yellow, which are very beautiful and very bright. It's more beautiful than roses. In fact, you don't necessarily like roses when you really see them, and the ornamental value is not as high as the moon season.

2. From the thorn seat.

The thorn base of the rose is dense, and small, a little densely packed with small thorns. But the thorns of our usual moon season are very large and relatively sparse, which is the thorn of the moon season that we usually see.

3. a blade. The leaves of roses are fluffy, the veins are concave, the color is not particularly green, some yellow-green color, and some uneven feeling.

The leaves of the moon season are larger, smoother and greener, and more attractive. The leaves of roses have 7 or 9 leaves, while the leaves of the moon season are mostly 3 or 5, and they can be well distinguished by looking at the leaves.

4. Flowering period. If you maintain the moon season well, you can bloom every month, which is why it is called the moon season. Whereas, roses bloom only once a year. Therefore, if you are cultivating a large number of fresh cut flowers, it is more suitable for the moon season and the yield is relatively high.

And real roses don't look as rich and beautiful as the colors of the moon season. Roses can be eaten, such as rose cake, rose sauce, rose tea, and the moon season is mainly used to see. So when you buy, don't worry about whether it's a real moon season or a rose, as long as it looks good.

The roses on the left, the moon on the right, the moon and the roses all belong to the Rosaceae family, their flower shapes, flower colors, etc. are very similar, but they also have some differences, which can be distinguished by the following aspects:

Flower type: Roses are larger, usually double or semi-double, while the moon season is smaller, and the flower type is mostly single-petaled or semi-full-petaled.

Inflorescences: Roses usually bloom at the tips of branches or on side branches, and each inflorescence generally has only one or a few flowers, while the moon season produces a large number of flowers, usually arranged in the form of umbrellas or cones.

Leaves: The leaves of roses are thicker, harder and shiny, with finely toothed spines on the leaf margins; The leaves of the moon season are softer and more tender in texture, with smooth leaf margins and no tooth spines.

Growth habits: rapid growth in the moon season, long flowering period, cold and drought resistance, strong adaptability; Roses, on the other hand, are more fragile and require good soil and nutrients, as well as higher temperatures and humidity than birds.

In conclusion, by looking at the differences in flower type, inflorescence, leaves, and growth habits, it is possible to distinguish between the moon season and the rose.

Although both roses belong to the Rosaceae family, they differ in flower color, flower size, leaf color, and flowering period.

Both Yueji and roses belong to the Rosaceae family, so many people can't tell the difference, and even some flower shops even sell Yueji as roses. In fact, although these two flowers look a bit similar on the outside, there are still many differences.

Color: The color of roses is relatively single, mainly red, white and yellow, but also pink and champagne, and the color of the moon season is more diverse, red, pink, yellow as the basis, but also evolve a variety of different shades of color, so the moon season is more diverse in color.

Leaves: The leaves of roses are light green, while the leaves of the moon season are mostly dark green, which is relatively easy to distinguish from this point. The leaves of the moon season are more remote and serrate, while the roses are less serrate.

Thorns: In comparison, roses have small and dense thorns, while moon thorns are larger and sparse, which is an important difference.

The difference between a rose and a moon season includes the following aspects:

First, the difference between leaves.

Biologically speaking, the moon season and the rose are two kinds of plants, and the difference between the two is obvious in many ways. In terms of leaves, the leaves of the moon season are smoother; The leaves of the rose have a lot of folds.

Second, the difference between branches.

In terms of branches, there are relatively few spines in the moon; The thorns of roses are numerous and dense and fine.

Third, the difference between the flowers and the flowers.

In terms of flowers, the vast majority of roses bloom once at the turn of spring and summer, and the flower color is light pink-purple, or white. The original rose is single-petaled or double-petaled, which means that there is only one petal or two or three petals. The moon season can bloom many times a year, the flower color is richer, and the petals vary more depending on the variety, so this is a clear difference between the two plants.

The easiest way to tell the difference between a rose and a moon is to look at the leaves. The leaves of the rose, odd pinnate compound leaves, leaflets 5 9 with wrinkled thorns. That is, there are at least 5 leaves on the petiole of a rose; But the moon-born, odd pinnate compound leaves, leaflets 3 5, the leaves smooth, flat and thornless;

First, the difference is from the flowers.

From the appearance, the flowers of the moon season are larger than the flowers of the roses. In terms of color, roses only have red, white, purple and other colors, but there are many colors in the moon season, in addition to common colors, there are also rare colors such as green.

Second, the difference from the leaves.

From the appearance, the leaves of Yueji are shiny, looking oily and shiny, the edges of the leaves are jagged, and the surface of the leaves has fewer textures, and the leaf surface looks very flat. There are many lines on the front of the leaves of the rose, and the leaves as a whole do not look so flat, and there is one point that is different from the leaves of the moon season, that is, the back of the rose leaves has fluff, and the moon season does not have it.

Third, from the flower stems to distinguish.

The flower stems of the moon season have thorns with curved hooks at the tips. The stem of the rose also has thorns, but unlike the thorns of the moon, the thorns are small and dense, the length of the thorns is perpendicular to the stem, and there are no hooks on the thorns. Another difference between the two on the flower stem is that the moon flower stem has nothing but thorns, but the flower stem of the rose has fine hairs in addition to the thorns.

However, both can be cultivated with pica foliar fertilizer to promote vigorous flowering.

How to tell the difference between the moon and the rose:

Method 1: The stem spines are different.

Rose thorns: hard, dense, pointed;

Lunar spines: sparse, flattened.

Method 2: The leaves are different.

Rose leaves: concave and wrinkled, dull;

Lunar leaves: The leaf surface is flat and shiny.

Method 3: The flowers are different.

Roses: petals open more than one plane;

Moon: The petals are not on a plane.

Method 4: The stem erection is different.

Roses: poor erection of stems;

Moon: The stem is erect.

Method 5: The fluff is different.

Rose: the back of the leaves, the surface of the stem is fluffy;

Moon: No fluff.

If you want to know whether you are buying a moon flower or a rose, you can easily distinguish it by teaching you a few tricks.

China is one of the origins of roses, mainly distributed in North China, Northwest, Southwest and other places, only because of the import of new varieties of modern large-scale roses from the West, mistakenly think that roses are foreign goods, and the moon season is a native product. Rose and the moon season are sister flowers, the plant body and flower shape, flower color are very similar, and now the large moon season flower and rose varieties are more difficult to distinguish, for the mixed species, the slight difference is that the rose leaves are wrinkled and prickly, and the moon leaves are smooth without thorns or less thorns; The roses bloom all year round, while the roses only bloom two or three times, and the purebred roses are rich in aromatic oils that are more fragrant than the moon season.

In the same way, the roses sold in the store are cut flowers, generally small clusters of roses, roses that can be extracted from essential oils, others are called moons, roses and moons are also very fragrant.

It is a kind of plant, which is called rose in foreigners and Yueji in China.

Roses and moon seasons are sometimes indistinguishable? It turns out so easy to distinguish! You understand it at a glance.

Yueji, rose and rose are the same family, the same genus of flowers, there are similarities in form, so many people often confuse the three, and call Yueji and rose collectively called roses, or roses are called Yueji. How to distinguish between the three:

1) The branches are different. The branches are erect and slightly expanded, and there are often a small number of hook-like skin spines on the branches; Roses erect, prickly and bristly on the branches; The stem of the rose is slender, and the branches are overgrown or climbing prickly.

2) The blades are different. There are few small leaflets in the moon, generally 3 or 5, the leaf surface is relatively flat, not concave, and there are no wrinkles; The leaflets of rose are 5 9 lobes, the texture is thick, the veins are concave, the leaf surface is wrinkled, and the back of the leaf is covered with a layer of hoarfrost-like pubescence; There are many leaflets in roses, generally 7 9, with toothed leaf margins and pubescence on both sides of the leaves.

3) The flowers are different. The moon season is generally the top flower solitary, there are also several clusters, the flowers are large, the flower diameter is generally more than 6 cm, the flower blooms 4 6 times a year, the color is rich, and most of them are double petals; Roses are solitary or clustered, bloom only once a year in May and August, the aroma is stronger than that of Yueji and roses, the flower stalk is short, the flower diameter is about 3 cm, the flowers are mostly purple-red, there are single-petaled and double-petaled species; Rose flowers often 6 7 clusters, conical umbrella inflorescences, born at the end of the branches, the size of the flowers is the same as roses, flower shape, flower color varies from variety to variety, there are red, pink, yellow, white and other colors. It blooms once a year in the summer.

In flower Chinese medicine, the shape and color of the moon flower and the rose are similar, and sometimes there is confusion in identification. However, the old pharmacist once made a very concise summary of the distinguishing characteristics of roses, namely: "safflower is not fragrant, fragrant flowers are not red, only roses, fragrant and red."

In other words, not all flowers with a red color have an aromatic smell, and flowers with a fragrant smell are not necessarily red colors, and only roses have the characteristics of being both fragrant and red. Through careful comparison and discernment, it is not difficult to find the difference between the two. In terms of flower color, roses are more vivid roses, while moonflowers are purplish-red or reddish-brown.

Comparing the shape of the two pedicels (receptacles), the pedicles of roses are swollen and semi-spherical, while the pedicles of moonflowers are round and elongated. Distinguishing the direction of the calyx of the two flowers, we can see that the roses are mostly facing upwards and tightly wrapping the flowers (corollas), while the moon flowers are often rolled downwards and surrounded by the pedicles. Further identifying the smell of the two, you can smell the aromatic and aromatic smell of roses, while the smell of moon flowers is slightly fragrant and weak.

Therefore, the key to distinguishing between the moon flower and the rose flower is to distinguish the form of the pedicle and calyx, as well as the color and fragrance of the flower pedicle and calyx. There was a identification song that wrote: "The roses of the moon season are not the same, carefully distinguish the color of the calyx, the tip of the moon season and the long calyx are reversed, and the roses are tightly wrapped and round and fragrant." ”
