Roses, the fragrance of romance
These fragrances of roses are produced when oil-based compounds (produce to attract pollinisators) evaporate from the petals. In this garden, the roses release various notes of fragrance, from heady, complex scents of musk and spice to sweet, fruity aromas with notes of apple or lemon. Pink and red roses produce the heady, slightly sweet fragrance traditionally associated with roses. Orange and yellow roses typically have aromas of fruit, cloves, nasturtium, tea, or violets. Pale yellow and white roses produce scents that smell like lemon, nasturtium, or violets. This garden offers therefore a wide range of fragrance and colors to discover, as well as a rich source of nutrition for insects.
