So, you might be wondering what this ‘Guler’ thing is all about. And this is where things get interesting.
Honestly, whenever I see the word ‘Guler’ in my gardening group chats, it always sparks a bit of confusion.
Is it a type of person? A place? No, it turns out, it’s a beautiful flower—a specific variety of rose that gets a lot of love but is surprisingly misunderstood by beginners.
I’ve been growing roses for about five years now, and I thought I knew them all.
Then I stumbled upon the Guler rose, and honestly? It’s a game changer.
It’s not just any rose; it’s got that specific Dutch charm.
In this article, I’m going to walk you through what the Guler actually is, why it’s so special, and—most importantly—how to keep it alive because, let’s be real, roses are kind of drama queens.
Guler Cicegi Nedir? (Esas Aslani)
Okay, let’s break it down.
‘Guler’ is actually the Turkish word for ‘rose,’ but when we use it in gardening forums or when people are looking for a specific variety, they usually mean the Dutch Hybrid Tea Rose or the specific ‘Guler’ cultivar.
From what I’ve seen, most people confuse this with a regular red rose.
But it’s different.
The ‘Guler’ variety usually has a very distinct fragrance—think strong, old-school perfume—and the petals are tightly packed.
It’s not that floppy, wild rose you see in old movies; it’s structured.
It’s elegant.
It’s the kind of flower that makes you stop dead in your tracks when you’re walking down the street.
Guler Ciceginin Ozellikleri
- Renk: Usually a deep, velvety red, sometimes with a slight purple tint at the edges.
- Sakallar: They usually have a guard petal (that outer shield) which makes them last longer in a vase.
- Boyut: They grow tall—usually around 4 to 5 feet—which is perfect if you want to hide an ugly fence.

Here is where it gets tricky.
You can’t just plant it and forget it.
I made that mistake with my first batch. Oddly enough,
I thought, ‘Hey, it’s a flower, it survives everywhere.’
Wrong.
The Guler rose likes attention.
It needs full sun.
Like, 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. Oddly enough,
If you plant it in the shade, it will survive for a bit, but it won’t bloom.
It will just get tall and lanky, looking sad.
Soil is the other big factor.
Most roses want rich, loamy soil.
I learned this the hard way when my soil was too sandy.
The roots just couldn’t hold onto water.
Now, I always mix in some compost.
It’s like giving them a multivitamin.
You want the soil to be damp but not soggy.
If the leaves look yellow, you’re watering too much.
If they look crispy, not enough.
Su Icerisi mi? Su Disi mi?
People always ask this.
For a Guler rose, I recommend watering at the base, not from above.
If you water the leaves, you invite fungus—specifically black spot disease.
That stuff is the nightmare of every rose owner.
I lost a whole bush once because I was too lazy to use a soaker hose. And this is where things get interesting.
Don’t be like me.
Guler Cicegi Zararlanirlar Mi?
Yes, unfortunately.
They get aphids.
It’s disgusting.
Tiny little green bugs on the new growth.
What do I do? I usually just blast them off with a strong stream of water.
If that doesn’t work, a bit of soapy water does the trick.
But honestly, if you have good airflow around the bush, pests stay away.

Buying a potted Guler rose can be pricey depending on where you live.
Sometimes you can find them at local nurseries, but often they are mail-order only.
I usually look for bare-root plants in late winter to save money.
They look like sticks, but they come back to life in the spring if you plant them right.

The colors are rich.

Have you ever wondered why florists charge so much for these? It’s not just the cost of the stem. Here’s the interesting part.
It’s the effort to keep them from dying before they reach your doorstep. But there’s a catch.
They age faster than a wildflower. But there’s a catch.
