The most beautiful and most widely cultivated rose on Earth

Today's featured plant

Pothos, succulents and similar plants are probably the most common potted plants, seen in almost every home and workplace. Pothos is easy to grow but not very ornamental, while succulents are fussy and hard to get through the summer. The flower introduced today is called "Double Delight"; its leaves stay green all year round, its blooms are beautiful, and it is easy to care for, making it even more worth having.

Double Delight

Double Delight (Double Delight Rose) is a garden variety of rose in the Rosaceae family, bred in the United States in 1977. It is the world's most famous and most widely planted rose cultivar, winner of the Baden-Baden most beautiful and most fragrant rose award and the Geneva most fragrant rose award, among others. It has captivated countless flower lovers, and the honors it has won far exceed those of the famous Eden Rose. It is also a small shrub that can be grown in pots, making it a boon for balcony gardeners.

Two colors in one flower

The Double Delight bloom has a high-centered, rose-like form and is very full, with two colors in one flower: a creamy white center and outer petals in Chinese red. As the flower gradually opens, the red slowly expands, which is very interesting and gives it high ornamental value. It is the kind of flower you cannot put down, and in the eyes of flower lovers it is a must-have variety. Someone once said: if you have never grown Double Delight, it is as if you have never grown roses at all.

Long blooming period and strong fragrance

Not only is it beautiful, but Double Delight's greatest advantage is its strong fragrance. Especially in sunlight, the higher the temperature, the stronger the fragrance, which is aromatic and far-reaching and can be smelled from a distance. Its refreshing fruity scent is very intoxicating. Double Delight blooms in spring, summer, autumn and winter, flowering in all four seasons, and blooms very readily, earning it the title "flowering machine."

Easy to cultivate

To become the most widely planted flower on Earth, good looks alone are not enough; it is also because it is very easy to grow. This variety has sturdy plants and is not demanding about soil, tolerating cold and drought. In northern China it can even be grown outdoors through the winter, and it can also be grown in pots on a balcony. Those with good skills can even train it into a bonsai tree and display it indoors, where it blooms in all four seasons; a single plant can fill a room with fragrance. It is very worth getting.
