Sniff Roxolan

The peony cultivar 'Sniff Roxolan' is an exquisite herbaceous interspecific hybrid with unique decorative qualities. The flowers of this cultivar are large — up to 20 cm in diameter — and have a creamy-white color with a delicate pinkish hue when blooming. The petals are arranged in a full, rose-like form, giving the flower a lush and elegant appearance. The flowers possess a mild, spicy fragrance, which is not overpowering but adds additional charm to the plant. The cultivar blooms early or mid-to-late season, allowing enjoyment of its beauty throughout different periods of the season. The 'Sniff Roxolan' peony bushes are spreading, reaching heights of 65 to 85 cm, with sturdy stems capable of supporting the weight of large blooms. The leaves are dark green, glossy, full, and relatively narrow, with a slight wrinkled texture, giving the bush a neat and healthy appearance. Such foliage harmoniously complements the soft hues of the flowers, creating a balanced look. Due to the strength of its stems and the decorative quality of its flowers, this cultivar is excellent for cutting and use in bouquets. A notable feature of this cultivar is its origin — it was bred in the USA by Arthur Percy Sanders in 1976 and belongs to the group of herbaceous interspecific hybrids. The flowers have a complex structure composed of slightly ruffled petals, adding texture and elegance. Inside the flower, there is a full ring of pale-yellow stamens and several hairy carpels with dark-red stigmas, making the flower particularly attractive upon close inspection. This peony will be a wonderful adornment for the garden and a source of aesthetic pleasure due to its beauty, fragrance, and reliability.
