Which roses are best for cutting

She is voluptuous, has a strong classic rose-tea scent, and is still a repeat-bloomer, which makes her extra special to me. Duchesse de Brabant was introduced in and is an Earth-Kind rose, which is a special designation given to roses that once established, do well in a variety of soil conditions and can withstand heat and drought. Choosing varieties designated Earth-Kind roses is another way we rise to the challenge of not using pesticides at Enduring Blooms.

Modern Garden Roses are often described as larger uniform blooms that lack the same intense fragrance and personality of Old Garden Roses, but with rose breeders like David Austin and Kordes, among many others, I find modern garden roses can be every bit as transportive, whimsical, and nostalgic as their antique sisters.

They can be less hardy and disease-resistant than historic roses, which is why we are sure to plant modern rose bushes that thrive in both our grow zone and climate, and we give them plenty of room to breathe to combat disease. Not all roses have fragrance, but those with a special place in our hearts do.

Our clients all express joy and disbelief over the otherworldly scent and shape of our Princess Charlene de Monaco, Heritage, and Beverly roses. I hope you feel inspired to grow your own fragrant garden roses for your garden or business.
