Well its simple, to not be punk make your song with more than 2 chords and a vocalist who doesnt sound like whats his face from blink 182 and bam your better than punk. But really though, in your genre it would contain solos, punk is devoid of them so thats proof enough your not punk. but to answer your question, the difference is by example:
pop-punk -> Good Charlotte
pop-rock-> either a) a delicious candy or,
b)poison (technically glam rock but close enough)
its really just about lyrical content and attitude
