Vrtnica stolistnica z otoka Ios
Država tradicionalne rabe: Grčija
V Grčiji so vrtnice priljubljene od pamtiveka, a kljub temu se med Grki še ni pojavil sodobni žlahtnitelj, ki bi ustvaril moderne grške vrtnice. O sodobnih velikocvetnih vrtnicah Grki govorijo kot o “nemških vrtnicah”.
Tradicionalno so Grkom všeč dišeče vrtnice. Po deželi so razširjene različne stare gartrože brez znanih imen. Pričujoča vrtnica je bila najdena na otoku Ios, ki leži v Egejskem morju in je le nekaj kilometrov oddaljen od Turčije. Grški ljubitelji vrtnic so najdenko razmnožili in zdaj je naprodaj pri eni od grških rožnih vrtnarij.
Cvet je izjemno dišeč, močne barve in z veliko cvetne substance. Za razliko od večine vrtnic stolistnic po poletju zacveti še drugič v letu.
Vrtnica je del razstave EU v vrtnicah.

Centifolia Rose from the Island of Chios
Country of traditional use: Greece
Roses have been popular in Greece since ancient times, but no Greek breeder has yet created a modern Greek rose. The Greeks refer to the modern multi-petal rose as the ‘German rose’.
Traditionally, Greeks prefer the fragrant rose. The country is filled with various old roses with unknown names. The present rose was found on the Island of Chios, situated in the Aegean sea only a few kilometres away from Turkey. Greek rose lovers have propagated this rose, and it is now available for sale in one of the Greek nurseries.
The blossom is extremely fragrant, full-bodied and vibrantly coloured. Unlike most centifolia, it flowers twice, the second time after summer.
The rose variety is a part of the exhibition The EU and Rose.
