Petal by Petal | 'Romance Antike' Garden Rose

I am counting down the days until our garden roses begin to show some sort of life.  Right now they are still hiding from the cold, just like me, luckily the flower market is a short ride away.  Today I am excited to introduce you to the beautiful rose 'Romance Antike', a ruffled garden rose that does in fact live up to its name, it is one of the most romantic roses I have ever seen.  With a slight fragrance that isn't overpowering like many roses, this bloom is perfect incorporated into a bouquet alone or with other flowers and foliage.
