Distinctive Features:
Also known as "Old Roses," they feature a deep cup or rosette shape packed with layers of petals. This full, rounded appearance exudes an elegance that standard roses cannot match.

Rich History:
Tracing back 5,000 years to China, the Garden Rose is one of the oldest cultivated flowers. Introduced to Europe around 1800, Chinese roses were bred with local varieties, creating the foundation for the luxurious blooms we see today.
