MINT ROSE

Pelargonium graveolens var.`Mint Rose'. Large, gray-green, hairy, dissected leaves. Strong "mint-rose" scented. Get yourself into the "chi" mode, then rub and sniff this thinking both mint(spearmint) and rose(love) and you have yourself a spectacular scented geranium called P.`Mint Rose'. The variegated form does not emit as much aroma/scent as this green form. Culinary. Chop its leaves fine so you don't feel the "hairy" feel of the leaves. Lovely leaves variegated on edges with cream color next to soft green; beautiful in bloom with pale pink flowers; delicate mint scent.
