Discover the Enchanting World of Fragrant Roses at Belle Epoque
It is often said that fragrance is the soul of the rose, a statement that every rose lover will agree with. Fragrant roses not only bring color and life to your garden, but also an aroma that stimulates the senses and evokes memories. At Belle Epoque we understand that a scented rose adds an extra dimension to your garden, an invisible layer of pleasure that can only be perceived by the nose.
The Origin of Fragrant Roses
The scent of a rose comes from the oil in the petals and is often stronger in roses with an abundance of petals. Historically, all ancient rose varieties were strongly scented, a characteristic that has evolved and refined over the centuries. The scent of a rose can vary from sweet and fruity to spicy and even spicy, depending on the variety and the conditions in which it grows.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, with the emergence of modern hybrid tea roses, emphasis in rose breeding was placed on shape, color and flowering ability. Unfortunately, this focus sometimes led to a reduction in scent, as not all hybrid varieties retained the strong scent of their ancestors. This has led to many modern rose varieties being less fragrant than their historical counterparts.
Why Fragrant Roses are a Must-Have in Your Garden
A fragrant rose in your garden is a true addition. Not only for their visual beauty, but also for the aromatic experience they provide. Planting scented roses near a patio, bench or passageway ensures that you can fully enjoy their enchanting scents. Whether it is the sweet scent of 'New Dawn', the fruity aromas of 'Gertrude Jekyll', or the spicy notes of 'Munstead Wood', each scented rose has its own unique character.
How to Choose the Perfect Fragrant Rose for Your Garden
When choosing a scented rose for your garden, consider the following aspects:
-
Fragrance profile : Determine which type of scent appeals to you. Sweet, fruity, spicy or spicy?
-
Inflorescence : Look for roses that bloom repeatedly or continuously to enjoy their fragrance all season long.
-
Placement : Plant scented roses where you often walk or sit by, so you can always enjoy their aroma.
-
Combinations : Consider combining roses with other scented plants such as lavender for a layered scent effect.
