Parole Rose
The Parole Rose (also known as Buxom Beauty) is a horticultural wonder that demands attention. If you are looking for a rose that breaks the mold, look no further. It is world-renowned for producing some of the largest individual blooms in the rose kingdom, often compared to the size of a dinner plate. Its vibrant, shocking pink petals and architectural presence make it the ultimate “statement” flower.
Signature Features & Aesthetics
- Shocking Pink Brilliance: The color is a deep, rich pink with subtle purple-magenta undertones that remain vivid even as the flower fully matures.
- Colossal Bloom Size: These high-centered hybrid tea blooms can reach a staggering 15–20 cm in diameter, making a single stem look like a full bouquet.
- Award-Winning Fragrance: Parole is famous for its “perfume factory” scent. It features a heavy, intoxicating aroma of classic tea rose blended with spicy cloves and sweet honey.
- Elegant Hybrid Tea Form: Despite its size, the rose maintains a sophisticated, high-pointed bud shape before opening into a massive, lush display.
Why Choose Parole Roses?
- The “World Record” Rose: Frequently cited as a record-holder for bloom diameter, it is a favorite for floral competitions and luxury displays.
- Unbeatable Fragrance: It is one of the most fragrant pink roses in existence, ideal for scenting large rooms or event halls naturally.
- Exceptional Impact: Because the heads are so large and the stems are so sturdy, you need fewer stems to create a dramatic, high-end visual effect.

Professional Care Instructions
To ensure your Parole Roses reach their record-breaking potential:
- Support the Weight: Because Parole blooms are exceptionally large and heavy, use a tall, sturdy vase that provides neck support for the stems.
- Deep Hydration: Trim 1 inch from the stems at a 45-degree angle. Place in deep, room-temperature water immediately.
- Scent Preservation: To keep the fragrance at its peak, keep the roses in a cool area away from strong drafts or direct sunlight.
- Cleanliness: This variety is a heavy drinker; check the water levels daily and change the water every 2 days to prevent bacteria.
- Nutrient Boost: Always use floral food to provide the energy these giant blooms need to unfurl completely.
