What is the difference of a Rose and a Wild Rose?

If I'm right, the difference is that a Wild Rose has vines fll of thorns to protect themselves while Roses have only thorns around them... If I am wrong, please correct me. Thanks in advance!

What is the difference of a Rose and a Wild Rose?
1 )A rose is a flowering shrub of the genus Rosa, and the flower of this shrub.





There are more than a hundred species of wild roses, all from the northern hemisphere and mostly from temperate regions.





The species form a group of generally prickly shrubs or climbers, and sometimes trailing plants, reaching 2–5 m tall, rarely reaching as high as 20 m by climbing over other plants.





The name originates from Latin Rosa.

2 ) Hybrid or cultivated roses---Hybrid Tea is a Cultivar Group of roses, created by cross-breeding two different types of roses.





Grown one flower to a long stem, they are supported by long, straight and upright stems.





Most can be as tall as 1.8 metres and are repeat flowering. Each flower can grow to 8-12.5 cm wide.





Hybrid Teas are the world's most popular type of rose by choice due to their color and flower form.





With their long stems, it gives them the advantage, over others, as cut flowers.





Most varieties, however, lack fragrance and can be difficult to grow in the home garden due to a lack of disease resistance and susceptibility to cold temperatures.

You must have noticed how the change is wrought by the scientists in horticulture in the form of roses over the years.!
