Rose Petal

Named for its bouquet, Rose Petal from Esensia Gardens pairs Merlot OG with a proprietary Honey Dew selection (pheno #11) to deliver an indica-leaning expression that feels both elegant and grounded. Under Mendocino sun, dense emerald calyxes frost over and release the perfume of fresh-cut roses layered with skunk, sugar, and a mineral-water coolness—terpinolene leads the chorus, with supporting notes of myrcene, ocimene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene. Typical lots test around 27–28% THC with negligible CBD, and the terp count can soar; the cultivar earned two Silver medals at the 2023 California State Fair (Sungrown Terpinolene and Total Terpenes) and followed in 2024 with Gold in the Sungrown Terpinolene category. The effect profile leans carefree and body-soothing yet buoyant: an easy, uplifting calm that brightens mood without heaviness. Morphologically, expect a compact, resinous plant with firm, medium-sized flowers and a finish that rewards careful drying and cure, showcasing that silky floral sweetness on the exhale. Rose Petal’s lineage shines through—the Merlot OG parent brings structure and depth while Honey Dew adds fruit-and-flower sparkle—making this a standout for enthusiasts who prize aroma and potency and terp complexity as much as potency.
