No, Madhuri... they are used interchangeably throuh out the literature.... one example: I quote " Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and Rosa chinensis are known as China Rose in the common language however both are distinctively different in appearance , growth habits and flowers. Therefore we will discuss them one by one. " end quote, is from URL:
http://www.agriculturalproductsindia.com/flowers/flowers-china-rose.html Internet is replete with such ambiguities and so are the old vs new books.. do not know which is preferred, may be Dr. Singh or Balkarji or Dinesh ji , Satish ji, Giby ji or ALok et al would know.... Good catch, Madhuri ji.
