Corn Rose

Corn_rose, commonly referred to as Red Valerian (Centranthus ruber), is not a true rose but a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. It is renowned for its tall, showy clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, or white, nestled in dense, leafy stalks. Corn_rose, which grows preferentially in rocky, dry soils and is often seen decorating walls or cliffs, is not only admired for its visual appeal but is also noted for its distinctive scent.

The scent profile of corn_rose is somewhat herbal and subtly sweet, with a light peppery undertone that makes it unique. This fragrance is not overwhelmingly powerful but carries a fresh, clean aroma that complements its rural, rustic charm. Frequently incorporated in informal garden settings, corn_rose offers a delightful olfactory addition to the visual beauty it provides. The scent is most noticeable when the flowers are in full bloom, typically from late spring through fall, and enhances the attractiveness of this easy-to-maintain perennial.
