1. RoseRose is a plant native to China. It has various shapes and colors and is deeply loved by people. It was once rated as the fifth of the top ten famous flowers. After the rose was introduced abroad in the 19th century, it was cultivated into modern hybrid roses. Because it not only has beautiful flower shapes, various colors, a long flowering period, but also has a high yield, it is the world's top cut flower.
Chinese roses, like roses, belong to the genus Rosa in the Rosaceae family and look very similar, so many people can't tell them apart. In China, shrub-like species with strong fragrance are usually considered roses, while species that bloom repeatedly in a cycle are collectively called Chinese roses. In fact, almost all the Rosa species widely planted in the world for cut flowers are modern Chinese roses, which are usually called roses abroad.
As mentioned earlier, in modern times, due to the vigorous cultivation of various countries, there are many varieties of roses, reaching nearly 10,000 kinds, including red, white, pink, white, yellow, purple, and complex colors, as well as single petal, double petal, high core and curled edge.
2. CarnationIn addition to cut roses, carnations are also a flower that florists use a lot. It is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Dianthus in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to the Mediterranean region of Europe, and now it is distributed all over the world.
The flower language of carnation is "kindness, warmth, true love, and unrequited maternal love". Therefore, it is regarded as the "mother flower" and can be said to be the well-deserved protagonist on Mother's Day. Carnations have a variety of colors, elegant shapes, and a long flowering period. Now they also have a very high share in the cut flower market.
Carnations can be divided into three categories according to their color and habits: bright red, purple, and flesh-colored. They can also be divided into large-flowered carnations and loose-branched carnations according to the size and number of flowers on the stem.
As a flower material widely used around the world, carnations have also been bred by scientists into many varieties, with richer colors and shapes.
3. ChrysanthemumLike roses, chrysanthemums are also an ancient flower native to Japan. They have been cultivated for thousands of years. They are also regarded as the royal flower in Japan. Chrysanthemums were introduced to Europe and the United States around the 17th century.
