The Centifolia Rose, also known as the "Cabbage Rose", is an old garden rose prized for its large, fully double blooms with over 100 petals per flower. The blooms are usually soft pink, though they can range from blush to deep pink, and they have a distinctive, ruffled, globe-like shape. Known for their strong, classic rose fragrance, Centifolia roses have been cultivated for centuries and are widely used in perfume production, particularly in Grasse, France.

Centifolia roses typically grow as tall, arching shrubs, reaching 5-7 feet in height. Their foliage is grey-green, slightly rough in texture, and the stems often have numerous small thorns. These roses are once-blooming, producing a spectacular flush of flowers in early summer, making them perfect for cottage gardens, historical gardens, or as specimen plants.

Hardy in Zones 4-9, Centifolia roses are resilient and disease-resistant, though they prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Their long history, exceptional fragrance, and lush blooms make them a favourite among rose collectors and gardeners looking for old-world charm.
