Myrrh-Scented Roses: A Fragrant Delight
About Myrrh-Scented Roses
Myrrh-scented roses are a type of rose that has a rich, sweet, and resinous scent. This scent is often described as being similar to the scent of myrrh, a fragrant resin that is used in incense and perfumes. Myrrh-scented roses are typically large, with double or semi-double flowers. They can bloom in a variety of colors, but they are most commonly found in white, pink, or red.
History of Myrrh-Scented Roses
The first myrrh-scented rose is believed to have been introduced from China to the West in the early 1800s. This rose, known as 'Old Blush', is still popular today and is known for its large, fragrant flowers and strong growth habit. Over the years, a number of other myrrh-scented roses have been developed. These roses include 'Souvenir de la Malmaison', 'Mme. Hardy', and 'Gloire de Dijon'. Myrrh-scented roses are now grown all over the world and are enjoyed for their beautiful flowers and delightful fragrance.
