Petal Count and how we use the term at Lakeview Roses

Roses are such a unique flower offering incredibly varied blooms from one plant to another.  Amazingly, the quantity of petals that each variety of rose brings differs. From blooms with 4 or 5 petals open to reveal colourful stamens in the centre, to flowers packed with layers of petals, we're sure you will find shapes and colours you will fall in love with.

At Lakeview Roses™, we are looking to make Petal Count terminology easy for you. This is how we will be using the terms.

Single Blooms

These blooms hold 4 - 8 petals, showing one layer of petals, and are generally enjoyed by pollinators.

Semi-Double Blooms

These flowers hold 9 - 16 petals, offering just a few layers of petals.

Double Blooms

These blooms have 17-40 petals, with many layers of overlapping petals.

Very Double Blooms

These flowers have over 40 layers of petals and provide a prolific overlay of petals.
