If you are not a big fan of flowers, then you may not see any difference between different varieties of flowers, including roses.

In fact, European roses are quite different from other babies, which makes them more interesting.

That's why they are special.

History and origins

European roses have a rich history and can be traced back to ancient times, with some varieties dating back centuries. 

They were cultivated and cherished in Europe before the introduction of modern hybrid roses.

Growth habits

European roses tend to have a more diverse range of growth habits compared to modern hybrid roses. 

They can be classified as climbers, shrubs, bushes, or even small tree-like forms. 

Their growth patterns are often more natural and less compact.

Flower forms

European roses exhibit a wide variety of flower forms, including single, semi-double, double, and fully double blooms. 

Their petals can be cupped, ruffled, or delicately arranged, giving each variety a unique and romantic charm.

Fragrance

One of the most distinctive features of European roses is their captivating fragrance. 

They often emit strong, sweet, and complex scents that are highly sought after by rose enthusiasts. 

This fragrance is a characteristic that is sometimes lacking in modern hybrid roses bred for other traits.

Disease resistance

While modern hybrid roses are often bred for increased disease resistance, European roses may be more susceptible to common rose diseases such as black spot or powdery mildew.
