Expanded Information:

Rose is a rose with a small, thorny stem, and a short stalk. p>Roses are known as "thorns" because of their thorny stalks. The poet Bai Juyi wrote, "Nymphaea blossom has a calyx, but the rose has thorns all around its branches". The rose flower can be used to extract rose oil, which is more expensive than gold, so the rose is known as the "Golden Flower".

Stipules largely united with petiole, serrulate.
