Do you think roses are over hyped?

I think there are many flowers which look better and even smell better. Hibiscus and lilies look far better than roses, and jasmines smell like heaven. Do you find other flowers better than roses Picture taken by me in my garden

@Sheali I love roses. They are very pretty. I must say, all flowers smell the same to me lol Well very similar anyway. I don't really have a favourite flower because I love them all but roses are beautiful!

I’m not a fan of roses j think they are typical flower that gets bought a lot dim a carnation person. I love them and my husband knows I enjoy seeing Them. I also like tulips because growing up my mom and I would plant them.

@Sheali tulips have certain meanings depending on the color. Red means love, yellow is happiness, purple is for royalty, and white means forgiveness.

@allknowing yes.. they last for one day but the next day we have fresh blooms.. so the tree is always full of flowers.. Here we have a jasmine which blooms whenever it rains or when I water a lot.. It is a tree.. I will put up a picture and another tree which blooms 12 months.. I am not talking about arabic jasmine

Gardenia looks like a beautiful white rose but it smells so much better.

I agree that there are many more flowers that surpass a rose's beauty and smell much better!

There are a lot of better flowers but I think roses are more popular and more easily available. If I walk down to the flower shop in my area I would only find roses there at any given time. Most of the other flowers have to be ordered in advance because they do not sell fast and droop quickly.

Roses are perennial and that is one reason they are preferred over others.

The smell from a rose garden can be overpowering. Lilies have a horrible smell but jasmine, lavender, lily of the valley, are sweet smelling. Orchids are hard to beat for beauty.
