What flower looks like a rose but isn’t a rose?
Lisianthus. Many people thinks that lisianthus are smaller roses. With cup shaped double flowers it’s probably the flower that looks like a rose the most. Lisianthus comes in a range of colours such as white lisianthus, pink lisianthus, purple and yellow and are a very pretty addition to any bouquet. The pretty and powerfully-perfumed Tiffany rose grows pink flowers with a yellow base hue. The classic hybrid tea flowers are very large and double in form and have been enjoyed by rose exhibitors. Tiffany is an upright grower that can be 4′-5′ tall.
What flower is called the poor man’s rose?
In fact, another colloquial name for the lisianthus is the ‘poor man’s rose’, due to its striking similarity to the queen of flowers. Standing up to 60cm, these herbaceous annuals are sometimes grown as a stunning dwarf variety. Known by most as Lisianthus, this delicate prairie flower is also known as the Prairie Gentian, Texas bluebell, Poor man’s rose and Lira de San Pedro, or by its new Latin name of Eustoma.
What is the difference between a peony and a peony rose?
The fact is that peonies and peony roses are completely different flowers. The former belong to the Peony family, and the latter to Rosehips. Consequently, the smell, and the specificity of cultivation, and the peculiarities of selection and floristic work with these varieties of flowers are completely different. This is because while your peonies might have a short blooming window, their leaves stay big and green. This makes them the perfect companion for roses, who typically bloom later than peonies because the rose blossoms will appear even bigger and brighter.
