With the gentle breeze of early summer, the roses of Kunming burst forth in unrestrained splendor. At the Yunnan Fengzeyuan Botanical Garden, a pink cascade of flowers pours down from the branches, weaving a romantic ocean of rosa chinensis and rosa multiflora. The cherry blossom and malus spectabilis sea of spring has just faded, yet the rosa multifloras of summer are eager to make their debut – let's wander into this  pastel-hued sanctuary together and let the pink glow fill the entire May with tenderness.

Rosa multiflora and rosa chinensis, belong to the Rosales order, Rosaceae family, Rosa genus, and generally refer to "roses."

Every flowering season, debates erupt over whether a blossom is Rosa multiflora, Rosa chinensis, or another variety. In fact, there's no need to worry – rosa rugosa, rosa multiflora and rosa chinensis are all from the same family, the "three sisters" of the Rosaceae family, Rosa genus. If you really can't tell the difference, just call them "roses" and you'll never be wrong!

As soon as early summer arrives, the roses in the garden begin to exert their strength, truly, "Suddenly surprised by the red crystal, thousands and tens of thousands of flowers bloom."

Fengzeyuan Botanical Garden has crafted enchanting archway landscapes where roses spill over curved trellises, spilling blossoms to both sides like something from a fairytale. Here, flowers become fences and poetry forms the walls. In the whole garden, flowers and plants are flourishing, where even the wind wanders freely.This is a private sanctuary of verse, where every glance at the earth overflows with quiet joy.

As the summer heat deepens, the world grows lush—thick emerald greens spread like woven cloth, silent and endless. Rosa chinensis and Rosa multiflora bloom without rivalry, each petal unfurling simply for the joy of being. Their fragrance drifts on the warm air—soft pinks and whites like blushing cheeks, enchanting the heart.

"My yard holds 400 million roses. Every morning, I sit among them with a book in hand. Passersby pause to admire the blooms, and some even reach to pick one or two. I pay them no mind. Until one day you come, your smile crinkles into crescent moons as you ask, "What are you reading?" And at that moment, I knew that all 400 million roses were ever only yours. Breathing in this perfumed air, I think of The Little Prince—and feel an entire garden unfurl inside my heart.

People grow more beautiful in a garden. To walk among flowers is to return to a kind of freedom—to become, for a moment, as untethered as a petal lifted by the wind.

In the garden, a small path will branch out into endless possibilities of scenery. An exquisite small house is actually a toilet, and on the back, roses emerge from all directions, lush, as if to occupy all places, full of vitality, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most beautiful restroom in Kunming.

In this season of escape—of leaping beyond city walls into the untamed embrace of countryside, garden, or wilderness. If you happen to encounter a musical gathering in Fengzeyuan, that is even more fortunate in life. Sit on the ground, indulge in the garden, wander in the notes, and breathe together with the spirit of heaven and earth.

The Little Prince looked all over the planet to find a rose he loved, but didn't know that the rose had always been in his heart. And so are we, with such a garden around us, don't waste the flowering season. As Siegfried Sassoon said, in me the tiger sniffs the rose. In a rose garden, you can also stretch out like thousands of flowers in full bloom.

May's sky seems to come with love, just right, the rose's flower language is romantic love, this blooming flower, is an early summer Kunming confession of love to you. At the same time, the first hydrangea flower of summer is also quietly blooming, waiting for the spectacular scene of thousands of hydrangea flowers in full bloom in late May!
