These Romantic Roses Grow With Both Red and White Petals

There’s nothing quite like a rose. With over 150 species, these beautiful and fragrant flowers have symbolized romance since ancient times. These days, the variety of roses available has expanded exponentially as expert horticulturalists have created thousands of hybrids. One unique variety has taken the internet by storm for its gorgeous two-tone color swirl. Known for its red petals and bright white center, the Osiria rose cuts a striking figure.

The enhanced photos typically show the Osiria with a pristine white center and velvet-red petals. In reality, the flower tends to be more fire-engine red and the white isn't always so clean. Finding the Osiria at your local garden center can also be quite a challenge, as they're often not stocked. And though you'll find sellers growing seeds online, results here are often a mixed bag with reviewers complaining that nothing ever sprouted. Photo: HGTV
