Here's 2 photos of a rosea (Red Colour Form).
I'm not great at taking photos but it gives you an idea. Notice how red the hairs are on the legs.





Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the porteri for comparison. Hopefully someone will add one.

Grammostola porteri has different stridulation organs to rosea. Regardless, porteri is currently categorized as a separate species and should be treated as such until we're given different taxonomical information.
The common name of 'Chilean Rosehair' encompasses more species than just those two. It is also used for Grammostola sp. Gold, sp. North, and sp. Concepcion. There are likely even more species that we aren't aware of that look very similar.

Difference between G. Rosea and G. Porteri?

My guess would be Grammostola sp. north agreed Never heard of that one, so she could be neither? Rose hair is a name attributed to several similar Chilean species. Surprisingly, I took those about 3 months ago. No molt.These Chilean species take forever to molt...they are very very slow...
