The plump fairy is a level-ten fragrance; once you plant it, you will never regret it.

Large flowers, beautiful flowers, intense fragrance, frequent blooming, long blooming season, blooms in all four seasons, disease-resistant, heat-tolerant...

Comparing every requirement that the perfect rose in everyone's mind should meet, I carefully checked them off on my variety recommendation list;

In the end, on that long list, not many rose varieties could remain that matched all of them.

And the fairy introduced today - Bolero - is absolutely one of the outstanding performers among them.

Her fragrance and soft beauty,

leave me completely overwhelmed!

Bolero has a cute nickname - "Pineapple."

Her most outstanding characteristic is the super-strong fragrance blended with fruity aroma! More fragrant than Zhenyu, Arabian Nights and Jude!

The rich fruity fragrance, fresh and sweet, is very pleasant to smell, a fragrance that even straight men would praise. Some flower lovers describe her as "giving off a heavenly scent!"

Moreover, her fragrance has excellent volatility, often "before you see the flower, you smell its scent first." One flower can fill the whole room with a floral fragrance blended with honey and lemon.

Besides her fragrance, her appearance is also an elegance that makes people fall in love at first sight, gently exuding her own unique charm.

At the early bud stage she shows a faint pink;

As the petals gradually open she becomes more and more beautiful, with a gentle apricot pink in the center and milky white around the edges, like a charming and shy princess, light and refined;

When fully open, the pink gradually fades, and the cup formed by more than 100 petals presents a semi-transparent milky white, like fresh, sweet lychees in XXXL size, soft and delicate in texture.

A veritable elegant princess,

hardworking and not at all delicate!

Bolero is heat-tolerant and super free-blooming!

Many flower lovers complain: some roses are beautiful, but they only bloom once or twice a year, especially when the hot sauna days arrive, they wilt and cannot bloom at all.

But Bolero, which looks delicate, is actually a formidable "muscle Barbie."

Especially free-blooming, with flower buds on the branches almost year-round.

Even under the 38-degree sun every day in summer, she can keep blooming continuously, although the flowers become smaller and whiter. (Blooming in the height of summer is not easy either)

Disease-resistant! Disease-resistant! Disease-resistant!

For roses, which are medicine jars, being able to achieve this is already outstanding enough!

Many flower lovers who have grown "Pineapple" say: even starting from a toothpick seedling, they have never seen her get any disease.

Her leaves are always shiny and glossy. You only need to spray appropriate pesticide before the peak season for pests and diseases, and you basically do not need to worry about her being plagued by pests and diseases.

In addition, she also has these advantages:

1. Strong growth, branches grow quickly;

3. Rain-tolerant, petal texture is tough, and she can bloom normally even when rained on;

2. Compact plant shape, suitable for pot cultivation, friendly to balcony growers.

However, strictly speaking, nothing in the world is 100 percent perfect.

If we really had to pick a small flaw, then her shortcoming is that she droops slightly.

This is also due to nature; who made her flowers so "plump"!

The flower is a full 11cm, and the branches cannot support the weight, so there is a drooping phenomenon. If the whole plant blooms several flowers at once and none of them is very large, the branches will not droop.

As a classic floribunda rose that has been around for 14 years, Bolero's fairy-like beauty and fragrance continuously stir the hearts of many flower lovers.

Perfectly proving the saying: "Trends are fleeting, but classics endure forever."

Finally, let us take one more look at the big "Pineapples" grown by flower lovers, and happily end today's plant-recommendation journey.
