More information
The variety displays vivid bicolor flowers: a dominant dark red ground marked by scattered white stripes and blurred white patches. The coloration maintains clear contrast through the bloom and tolerates both heat and rain. Buds are goblet-shaped, later becoming cup-shaped; blooms reach about 8 cm in diameter and have roughly 30 petals. The fragrance is strong, spicy, and sweet. During the flowering period, inflorescences cover the entire bush. Shoots are robust; the branching shrub reaches 1–1.5 m in height, and the flowers do not droop. The bush spreads 75–110 cm wide. Foliage is large, dark green, and dense. Under unfavorable conditions, the cultivar is susceptible to black spot.
Scentimental is a modern striped rose classified as a floribunda. Although categorized as a floribunda, blooms usually appear in very small clusters, and individual flowers are large, comparable to hybrid tea roses, typically 12–15 cm across. Besides the pronounced fragrance, a key characteristic is the striping on the dense petals. Some petals are cherry-crimson with a few white streaks, others are almost entirely white with a few pink streaks, and most are intermediate; petals within the same bloom differ from one another. The flowers keep their color well, are double, and lie flat at full bloom, with an open center plus a pair of small central petals that often cover the stamens. The shrub has a regular habit, shows disease resistance, is vigorous, and bears slightly coarse foliage. It reblooms abundantly, with the largest flowers and brighter coloration produced in cooler climates.
