To me, it seems that most of the nouns that only differ in the final letter are wildly different in meaning. Like puerto, puerta or rato, rata.

I think it works just like species in English, so yes. Once in awhile the words mean what you think they do.

Forma did not work. After looking through Wordreference, I could find a translation of class to forma. After searching for "forma de rosa", I suspect those that used it for type of rose were not native speakers of Spanish.

"This flower is a type of rose" is a legitimate phrase. For example: "I have a strange flower here. It looks like a dahlia, but this flower is a type of rose.
