What's the difference between roses, roses and roses?

"Rose": In Chinese, it generally refers to this kind of plants except Chinese rose and rose native to China, especially climbing plants with clusters of small flowers and many leaflets. You can refer to Rosa davurica (Seven Sisters is one of its famous varieties). At present, the botany and horticulture circles in China usually use "Rose" to refer to all plants of the genus Rosa: if there is the word "Rose/Rose" in the western name of a plant and there is no customary translation, it is translated as "a certain kind of rose"; Rosa is also called "a rose" if it doesn't have the usual Chinese name. Similarly, the Chinese names of related genera (Rosaceae) and families (Rosaceae) are also marked with the word "Rosa". "Rose": Chinese originally refers to the rose, a local traditional flower in China, with many varieties. It is called "Rose" in English (meaning: China Rose). Large flowers are usually solitary, multicolored, with three to five leaflets and relatively bright leaves. The plants now called "Chinese rose" refer not only to the traditional Chinese rose in China, but also to the modern hybrid Chinese rose (sometimes called "hybrid Chinese rose") which is made by crossing the traditional western Chinese rose and Chinese rose and sold by flower shops. "Rose": Rosa rugosa, a native spice plant in China, was originally abbreviated as "rugosa rose" in Chinese, or "Japanese Rose" in English. Large flowers are usually solitary, purplish red to white, with five to nine leaflets and wrinkled leaves. Not as popular as roses in the ornamental field, it is usually used to make rose sugar. Various western traditional roses (such as the famous Rosa× Damascus) used for ornamental or seasoning were also called "roses" when they were introduced to China, but these western traditional roses are actually quite different from those native to China. The modern hybrid roses sold by flower shops are a hybrid of traditional western roses and China roses, which are often called "roses" in Chinese.
