heirloom rose
Antique garden variety
An heirloom rose is a rose variety that predates modern hybrid teas, typically bred before 1867.
These older cultivars are prized for intense fragrance, historical character, and hardiness that modern roses often lack.
Gardeners seek them out for their romantic, old-fashioned blooms: She planted heirloom roses along the fence for their scent.
