Flavorette® Honey-Apricot Edible Rose

Beautiful enough for the garden and delicious enough for the kitchen, Flavorette® Honey-Apricot brings an entirely new dimension to growing roses. Part of the innovative Flavorette® collection of edible roses, this unique variety was selected to combine dependable landscape performance with petals specifically intended for culinary enjoyment.

Honey-Apricot produces gorgeous, romantic blooms in glowing shades of apricot, peach, and warm honey, creating a delicious-looking flower that is every bit as beautiful as it is useful. The full blooms bring warm color to the landscape and provide an unusual opportunity to take something grown in your own rose garden directly to the table.

What truly sets this rose apart, however, is its edible petals. Honey-Apricot was bred with flavor in mind, offering petals with a pleasantly sweet character reminiscent of honey and ripe apricot. Fresh petals can provide a beautiful botanical touch to cakes, desserts, salads, beverages, garnishes, and other sweet or savory culinary creations.

The plant is also designed to perform as a genuine landscape rose rather than simply a novelty edible plant. Its repeat-blooming nature provides fresh flowers throughout the season, while good disease resistance and an easy-care shrub habit make it an exciting choice for gardeners who want beauty, performance, and something completely different.

From the Rose Garden to the Table

Flavorette® Honey-Apricot offers something most traditional garden roses cannot: the opportunity to enjoy your roses with more than your eyes and nose.

The petals can be harvested and incorporated into culinary creations where their color, delicate texture, and sweet flavor can shine.

Try the fresh petals with:

• Cakes & cupcakes

• Cookies and pastries

• Fruit salads

• Garden salads

• Ice cream & sorbet

• Jams & preserves

• Infused syrups

• Teas and botanical beverages

• Decorative garnishes

• Charcuterie and dessert boards

The warm apricot coloring makes the petals especially beautiful for decorating cakes and desserts where an elegant, garden-inspired presentation is desired.

Important: Roses intended for eating should only be treated with products specifically labeled as appropriate for edible crops, following all label directions and harvest intervals.

A Rose Bred to Be Eaten

Most roses are selected primarily for characteristics such as flower form, color, fragrance, disease resistance, or landscape performance.

The Flavorette® collection takes that idea one step further.

These roses were developed with both garden performance and flavor in mind, transforming the rose garden into an extension of the edible landscape.

Honey-Apricot is particularly exciting because its warm, romantic flowers look completely at home among ornamental roses. Unless you tell your guests otherwise, they may never realize they're looking at a rose whose petals were selected to be enjoyed on the plate.

Easy-Care Garden Performance

Despite its unusual culinary qualities, Flavorette® Honey-Apricot is still intended to perform as a beautiful garden shrub.

Plant it in a sunny location with well-drained soil and provide consistent moisture while the plant becomes established. An application of quality granular rose fertilizer in early spring can encourage vigorous new growth and abundant flowering.

Annual pruning can also help maintain a dense, attractive shrub and encourage vigorous stems carrying fresh flowers.

For gardeners planning to harvest the petals regularly, growing the plant somewhere easily accessible—such as near a patio, kitchen garden, or raised-bed area—makes collecting fresh flowers especially convenient.
