Roses are the flowers of love and are a beloved part of any balcony garden. The bright colours, the fresh fragrance, and of course, how good they look even in small spaces. And here we mention 9 flowers that look similar to Roses.
Peonies
One of the most beautiful flowers to grow in the balcony garden, and one that looks like Roses is the Peony. It has lush, full blooms, just like roses, and the petals in colours of pink, white, red, and more, are an eye candy.
Carnations
Although pretty high-maintenance, Carnations are beautiful and resemble roses so well. They have ruffled petals, a soft fragrance, and their pink colour is a delight to the eyes.
Gardenia
Gardenia is a flower that smells better than a lot of perfumes, and the brilliant white colour and rose-like blooms are a candy to the eyes. They are fairly easy to grow, low-maintenance, and have the freshest fragrance.
Lisianthus
Another beautiful flower with soft petals in a rose-like shape is the Lisianthus. Lisianthus comes in shades of purple, pink, and even red, they bloom for long periods too if given ample sunlight.
Moss rose
Moss rose looks like 3-4 roses have been clubbed into one, and thus they have more petals and look great too. They can be grown in balconies, and thrive in places with good indirect sunlight.
Camellia
Camellias have layered petals that look like roses, and comes in bright colours of red, pink. White, and more. Camellias grow well in pots, need acidic soil, and should be kept in no more than 4 hours of sunlight.
Cabbage rose
Evident in the name, the cabbage rose looks like a rose that has grown in a cabbage shape with abundant petals and patterns. These too have an amazing fragrance, and the pink colour looks perfect
Hellebore
Hellebore is a great option for the winter garden, and with its purple-red colour, it is the perfect dupe for a real rose. And while its petals are not huddled together, the colour and fragrance are similar, so is the petal shape.
Fuchsia
Another rose-like flower, and one that looks rather exotic too is the Fuchsia. The downward flowers look extremely similar to rose petals, and if you remove the side vines, the similarity increases.
