Most roses are grown for their stunning blooms, and believe me these Incredible Roses possess beauty in spades full. However there is a lot more to this series of roses than meets the eye, it is what meets the taste buds that is of additional interest here. On top of their beauty, each variety in the Incredible series has been bred for the petals to have their own individual taste!
We are used to consuming rose water in turkish delight or rose cream chocolates, but Incredible Roses have been extensively tested and selected with great care for unbelievable flavour. The gorgeous petals not only brighten up your daily menu, they are also full of vitamins and anti-oxidants.
Incredible Roses are not only suited to our garden borders and allotments, they are also ideal for containers on the patio or terrace. Some of the varieties currently available include:-
