What is the difference between Garden Roses and standard roses?

Garden Roses, also known as 'Old Roses,' are distinguished by a significantly higher petal count, a deep cup or rosette shape, and often a stronger fragrance compared to standard modern roses, giving them a more luxurious and romantic appearance.

Can Garden Roses be used as a substitute for Peonies?

Yes, Garden Roses are the number one alternative to Peonies. They offer a similar lush, ruffled, and voluminous look (especially varieties like the Cabbage Rose) and are available year-round, unlike the seasonal Peony.

What are the most popular Garden Rose varieties?

Popular varieties include the 'Piano Rose' (known for its deep red color and spherical shape), the 'Caramel Antike' (honey-gold vintage tones), and the 'Rosa Centifolia' (famous for its 100-petal density).

Do Garden Roses smell good?

Yes, unlike many supermarket roses which have lost their scent, Garden Roses are bred specifically for their fragrance. Varieties like the Damask Rose are famous for intense perfumes ranging from fruity notes to classic myrrh.
