Zorrose (玫瑰剑客; pinyin: méiguī jiànkè) is a Monthly special plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He rapidly attacks zombies with his thorn sword at a close range of 1.5 tiles. When the target's HP is higher than 30%, his stabs the target every 0.7 seconds on average (slower than Bonk Choy). When the target's HP is lower than 30%, his charges before attacking, which makes his attack every 1.4 seconds. However, the damage he deals will be three times as high as before.
Puzzle Pieces for this plant can be collected through daily sign-in reward for Android users in July. He was released in the Sky City update for iOS, along with Magic-shroom and Bambrook. However, recently he is available for the second daily sign in gift.
Between v2.4.0 and v2.5.0 updates, Zorrose was put as a plant from the Renaissance Age rather than a monthly special plant.
Zorrose in Plants vs. Zombies Online is only used in Adventure Mode. The only way to obtain it is by collecting 240 puzzle pieces.

Origins

Zorrose is based on the China rose (Rosa chinensis), a rose native to Southwest China in Guizhou, Hubei, and Sichuan Provinces. However, his name, attack pattern, costume, and costumed Plant Food effect are references to Zorro, a Mexican legend.
His weapon, which is also known as its sword may resemble the thorn which could be found in the stem of a rose.
His Almanac entry hints that Zorrose's name is Van Gogh, which is a reference to the famous artist. He said "Versailles" is his first name and "Gogh" is his last name. When the first and the last words of this name in Chinese are put together, a name pronounced the same as Van Gogh in Chinese (凡高 to 梵高) can be produced. The painting of Sunflower mentioned in the entry is also a reference to Van Gogh's Sunflower paintings.

这名来自遥远东方的神秘剑客自称为凡尔赛·高,他在酒馆里喝酒的时候总是吹嘘自己是一名超越时代的艺术家。“这些粗鲁的家伙根本无法理解我想表达的东西!”他总是如此愤愤不平地说道,“那位著名的歌手向日葵,我曾经给她画过一幅划时代的画像,但是她居然宣称我画的是垃圾!这可是我唯一一幅除了玫瑰之外的画像!我还特意在画的下面签上了自己名字的缩写,我敢打赌光凭这个签名就足以使这副画成为无价之宝……嗝~”
In English: Zorrose attacks approaching zombies and launches a strong attack when they are at low health. Special: Strong attacks on zombies with low hit points |

Level upgrades
Strategies
This plant is best used with a defensive plant to safely deal high damage to zombies.
However, he is pretty much a downgrade of Bonk Choy being the latter but slower, costlier and can not attack behind. It is not recommended to upgrade him as they are very weak and there are better options to upgrade,
