In short, rough leather is full grain leather. It has rough outside and soft inside.
Full grain leather is the top skin just below the animal hair.
Top skin is full grain leather. Full grain leather is the highest quality leather.
Full grain leather comes from the outer/top layer of the fur and is the toughest and most durable part of the leather. The farther from the surface of the skin, the softer the leather will be.
That's why the most durable brands of military tactical boots and clothing are made of full grain leather.
It is not only the most expensive, but also the most durable type of leather.
Stepping on the rugged terrain, soldiers must know the importance of boot durability.
Tough boots can provide better foot and ankle protection.

Suede and rough leather look similar, but are made of completely different leather.
I will compare their differences and hope you don't confuse the two types of leather.
Suede is different from rough leather. It is made from the lower part of the leather, not the full grain leather near the top of the skin.
There is a big difference between the two because the lower part of the leather is cheaper and less durable.
On the other hand, suede leather is softer and smoother than rough full grain leather.
Rough leather looks more rough and less delicate.
Suede leather is sometimes called "split leather" because it is made from the lower part of the leather and separates from the top.
Suede desert boots are not as long as full-grain boots because they hide mainly the soft parts.
