Usually the roses we see are actually ornamental roses, and even most of them are not real roses, but roses that look like roses. Common rose tea drinks and edible rose cakes are made of edible roses.
At present, the main varieties of edible roses in China are bitter roses in Gansu, pingyin rose in Shandong, Damascus roses introduced from abroad and Chiba roses in France.

There is a great difference in appearance between ornamental roses and edible roses. Edible roses are small in shape and simple in color, and are mainly used for eating. Ornamental roses are large in size, rich in color and gorgeous in appearance, and are mostly used for decoration and appreciation.
Edible roses are mainly used as raw materials for edible processing, such as making rose oil, and can also be used as medicine, which can not only regulate qi and promote blood circulation, soothe the liver and relieve depression, but also relieve symptoms such as liver and stomach gas pain, anorexia, vomiting, irregular menstruation and traumatic injury.
Ornamental roses are mainly ornamental, with little medicinal value and inedible. Red roses are the main ornamental roses, such as Samantha and Dallas. The more famous ones are Blue Demon Ji, White Rose and Yellow Rose.
