'Sweet Fairy' rose Reviews & Comments

I recall reading something to the effect that gallicas' perfume (I think) is more intense on the dry flower. That seems to apply to Sweet Fairy, too. A tiny bloom, brought indoors and left to dry, developed a surprisingly strong scent.

After reading your post I picked a bloom and it's drying on the window sill right now.

I don't think the fragrance got stronger as the flower dried, but after 7 days the flower smelt just as strong as freshly picked. Only the actual petals smell, the rest of the flower is scentless.

Interesting. To my nose it seems more concentrated on the dry flower than the fresh one. I haven't kept mine for as long as you did, but good to know the scent on the dry flower is lasting... I'm thinking of airtight container and rose petal tea!

So, Andrew, my plant has now come into its own, and you are right that there is no difference in the strength of scent between dry and fresh blooms: the fragrance is now nice and strong on the fresh flower too, and out of all proportion to its size!
