Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper wild card. If you're after a true-to-life rose, not some watered-down interpretation, this might be your jam. But brace yourself - the geranium can be a bit shouty, and some find it a touch boring. A love-it-or-hate-it affair, definitely not a safe blind buy.
This Turkish rose offers a divisive start - some find it harsh and synthetic, others fresh and realistic - but settles into a sweet, honeyed bloom. It's a proper grown-up rose, a little 'granny-ish' in the best way, with enough character to keep things interesting.
