tuberose

White Mexican flower

Tuberose is a plant with fragrant white flowers, prized in perfumery for its intense, sweet scent.

The flowers bloom on tall spikes and are used in bouquets and floral arrangements.

Despite the spelling, the word has three syllables (tube-rose) and refers to the plant's tuberous roots, not to tubes or roses.
