Roses generally represent love, so on days like Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day or weddings, many people will go to flower shops to buy roses for their loved ones. But, did you know that the roses you buy in the flower shop may not be real roses!

? In fact, real rose petals are not as beautiful as the "roses" from the flower shop , a real rose has many petals after it is fully opened, the petals are wrinkled and delicate, the thorns on the stem are tight, and there are small hairs on the surface. May and June every year is the flowering period of roses, and roses bloom only once a year. Therefore, what is available in flower shops all year round are not real roses, but cut roses.

Rose and rose belong to the Rosaceae family, but they are quite different. Rose, also known as Yueyuehong, blooms all year round, has thick and hard petals, and has a long flowering period. It is a high-quality ornamental flower. Roses are difficult to preserve due to their wrinkled and delicate petals, so roses seem to have become a "substitute" for flower shops and a permanent guest of the flower shop.

Roses can be eaten and used as medicine. Roses have their own unique fragrance and are delicious to eat. Rose is a herbal medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that rose has the effect of flowing qi and activating blood, promoting qi and relieving depression, and can be used to treat irregular menstruation in women. Roses can also be eaten, made into tea, or made into rose jam.

Yunnan is a sea of ??flowers, and flower cakes are also one of Yunnan’s specialties. Flower cakes are filled with flowers. My favorite is rose flower cakes. It tastes faintly fragrant, but It's not as greasy as sugar.

Speaking of flower cakes, I was so greedy that my mouth watered. Then I turned on my phone and placed an order. I should be able to eat it in a few days!

Therefore, roses have a wide range of uses. Whether they are roses or roses, you just need to distinguish their uses.

If you buy a bouquet of flowers for the person you like, who cares if they are real roses?
