5. Chrysanthemum type

Petals more than 6 rounds of petals, petal shape is similar, neatly arranged, hierarchical, from the outside to the inside of the gradual decrease in size, and occasionally petalization, pistil 5-11, normal growth or degradation of small. Some varieties of stigma petalization phenomenon, knot strength is poor, this type of flower type to "rose red", "smile in the bush", "silver and red coquettish pairs", "Jin Gao Red

6. Rose type

Petals more rounds, petals from the outside to the inside gradually become smaller, stamens partially petal into the normal petals, pistil degradation becomes smaller or petal, knot strength is poor.

Stamens normal and less, or occasional petalization, pistil degeneration into small or petalization; above the amount of petals less, spreading or upright, stamens less and smaller, pistil degeneration into small or petalization. This type of flower type to "diamond flower Zhanlu", "fat red", "Shouxing red" and other varieties as a representative.
