Not every rose gives off an aromatic scent. We are introducing you to 20 different types of scented roses that will delight you with their heavenly smell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which gardener doesn’t dream of a fairytale rose garden? In summer, in particular, it is worth taking a walk through rosaries and nurseries to find suitable varieties. When the rose ( pink<\/em> ) not only looks beautiful but also the aromatic scent rises in the nose, it is usually already for the gardener’s heart. So that your chosen scented rose really comes into its own in the garden, it is best to plant it near your seat.<\/p>\n

Fragrant climbing or rambler roses are wonderfully suitable for growing over pergolas or rose arches, for example. But you can also create small fragrance islands near paths so that the scent of the bush and bed roses wafts towards you as you pass. Hybrid tea roses are, on the other hand, very suitable as cut flowers for vases – you can even bring a piece of your fragrant rose garden into your home.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the selection of scented roses is not too large compared to the totality of rose varieties. We explain below what distinguishes fragrant roses and what the location has to do with the intensity of the rose scent. Afterward, we will also introduce you to some popular scented roses with different growth forms.<\/p>\n

Scented roses: properties & special features<\/h2>\n

Some roses can not only shine with their appearance but also give off an intense scent. Depending on the variety, it is fresh and fruity or sometimes sensual and beguiling. The queen of flowers, as the rose is also called, not only attracts many insects but also makes rose lovers rave in the truest sense of the word because the essential oils contained in the rose have a mood-enhancing and stress-relieving effect. These properties are also of interest to the cosmetics industry, where rose oil and rose water are often used as ingredients in perfumes, creams, and lotions.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the fragrance has largely fallen by the wayside in the past few decades in rose breeding. Many of the modern rose varieties smell very little or no smell at all. Specially grown fragrant roses therefore often come from strongly fragrant wild roses. Many scented roses are vigorous due to these crossings, but also very susceptible to disease.<\/p>\n

Roses with an intense scent can be found today mainly among the old roses, the English roses, but also among the hybrid tea roses. However, it is not only the genes that are decisive for the strength of the fragrance – the shape of the flower, location, and weather also play a decisive role. The sunnier, windless, and humid the location, the better the scent of the rose will unfold, since under these conditions, the essential oils of the plant are increasingly formed and released.<\/p>\n
