If you could choose only one, which would it be?
I’ve heard so many different opinions from fellow rose growers.
Some say Beverly has one of the strongest fragrances among pink roses. Others insist that Pompadour is just as unforgettable.
To me, they’re both exceptional roses with rich, captivating fragrances and both deserve a place in any pink rose collection. And yes… I’m a huge fan of pink roses. I think many rose lovers around the world feel the same. 💕
So, of course, I had to grow them side by side and find out the differences for myself.
Fragrance?
At least from my experience so far, Beverly has a slightly stronger scent than Pompadour. Its fragrance is wonderfully rich with a soft sweetness that reminds me of candy. Every time I lean in for a sniff, it’s hard not to smile.
As for heat tolerance, the test has only just begun.
My Beverly has only recently arrived, so I’ll need more time to help it establish well before I can fairly compare its performance in Singapore’s hot and humid climate. I’m especially curious to see whether it can perform as consistently as Pompadour, which has already impressed me.
Growing roses is never just about collecting beautiful flowers.
It’s about slowing down, observing, learning, and appreciating the little changes each day. In a world where social media moves faster than ever and it’s becoming harder to tell what’s real from what’s filtered, roses gently remind us to pause and reconnect with something genuine.
Growing roses with love.
Because sometimes, the smallest blooms bring the greatest peace. 🌹
