Tiger Rose
Tiger's Milk × Tiger Bomb × Rosé × Rose OG
Tiger Rose is a modern hybrid celebrated by connoisseurs for its sophisticated sensory profile. It features a prominent floral aroma, reminiscent of fresh roses, layered with notes of citrus and spice, and is recognized for its visually striking appearance.
Appearance
Tiger Rose buds are typically conical and medium-dense, characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant trichomes that give them a frosted appearance. Coloration ranges from light to dark green, often accented by vibrant orange pistils resembling tiger stripes. Some phenotypes may display lavender or mauve hues, particularly under cool nighttime temperatures late in the flowering cycle.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Tiger Rose is distinctly floral, dominated by rose-like sweetness, complemented by citrus and a subtle spice. Upon closer inspection or when ground, secondary notes of black tea, vanilla cream, and a mild herbal undertone emerge. The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, offering a silky floral sweetness on the inhale, balanced by lemon zest and berry notes, with a creamy, peppery finish on the exhale.
Effects
This hybrid is often described as providing a well-balanced high, suitable for both daytime creativity and evening relaxation, depending on the dosage. Users report feeling euphoric and experiencing a boost in creativity, alongside an increased appetite. The effects are generally considered clear and gently uplifting rather than sedating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Tiger Rose typically contains 18-26% THC and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is notable for its floral components, with geraniol often present in higher concentrations, contributing to its rose-like scent. Other contributing terpenes include linalool, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, and humulene, which together create its complex aroma and flavor.
Origins & Lineage
The exact genetic lineage of Tiger Rose can vary among breeders, but common crosses involve a 'Tiger' parent, such as Tiger's Milk or Tiger Bomb, and a 'Rose' parent, like Rosé or Rose OG. This breeding aims to combine robust hybrid characteristics with a refined, terpene-driven sensory experience, positioning it as a collector's cultivar.
