🌶️ Serenity With a Little Spice

The name may be True Serenity™.

The fragrance has other ideas.

Instead of a delicate, barely-there perfume, these flowers carry a rich, spicy rose fragrance.

It's a wonderful contrast.

Visually, the flowers are soft and romantic—full, deeply colored, and beautifully formed.

Then you lean in and discover a perfume with considerably more personality.

Peaceful to look at. Spicy when you get closer.

We like that.

✂️ One for the Cutting Garden

True Serenity™ has all the ingredients we look for in a rose destined for the vase:

Large 4-inch flowers.

35–40+ petals.

Rich magenta-pink color.

Sturdy stems.

And perhaps most importantly—

Fragrance.

The flowers are specifically noted for their suitability for cutting and display, making this an especially appealing rose for gardeners who don't just want to look at their roses through the kitchen window.

Grow it outside.

Then bring the serenity inside.

🧬 Bred by Ping Lim

True Serenity™ was created by internationally recognized rose breeder Ping Lim as part of the True Bloom Roses® breeding program.

Its recorded parentage is:

‘Francis Dubreuil’ × ‘Knock Out’

And that's a fascinating combination.

‘Francis Dubreuil’ represents the deeply colored, richly fragrant side of rose history, while Knock Out® brought modern rose breeding an entirely different emphasis on landscape performance and plant health.

True Serenity™ brings those worlds together in a modern Hybrid Tea Shrub.

Traditional-looking flower.

Strong fragrance.

Modern garden performance.

🌹 The True Bloom Roses® Philosophy

The idea behind True Bloom Roses® is wonderfully straightforward:

Why should gardeners have to choose between a rose that's beautiful and one that's easy to grow?

The breeding program combines characteristics associated with traditional Hybrid Tea roses—large flowers, high petal counts, fragrance, and rich colors—with the healthier growth and disease resistance associated with modern shrub roses.

True Serenity™ fits that philosophy beautifully.

You get a flower that looks like a classic cutting rose.

But the plant underneath it was bred to behave much more like a modern garden shrub.

💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It

True Serenity™ is proof that peaceful doesn't have to mean pale.

We love the intensity of this color.

Those saturated magenta-pink flowers stand out beautifully against the dark glossy foliage, and at approximately four inches across, they're substantial enough to command attention.

Then there are 40+ petals.

And that spicy perfume.

And continuous flowering.

And excellent disease resistance.

It's exactly the kind of rose we love for gardeners who want the experience of growing a traditional Hybrid Tea without quite as much traditional Hybrid Tea drama.

Plant it in the cutting garden.

Put it near the patio.

Or grow it somewhere you can walk past it every morning.

A little True Serenity™ might be exactly what the garden needs.

🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations

Planting Site: Choose a sunny location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day with fertile, well-drained soil.

Spacing: Allow approximately 3 feet between plants to accommodate its mature habit and encourage good airflow.

Watering: Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture while your bare-root rose establishes its new root system.

Pruning: Prune in early spring, removing dead, damaged, weak, or crossing growth and encouraging strong new flowering stems.

Cutting: Don't save every flower for the garden. True Serenity™ was made for cutting. Harvest stems as the buds begin opening and enjoy that spicy fragrance indoors.

Fragrance Placement: Consider planting near a patio, entrance, pathway, or seating area where you'll naturally get close enough to enjoy its perfume.

Color Pairing: That vivid magenta-pink would look beautiful with creamy white, lavender, silvery purple, blush pink, pale apricot, or deep burgundy roses.
