The Official Oklahoma State Flower

Oklahoma Rose

The Oklahoma Rose, the official state flower of Oklahoma, is a variety of rose that is highly prized for its considerable beauty and fragrance. It is a hybrid of the native Cherokee rose and the European rose, and was developed by Dr. George E. Kluckhohn in the late 19th century. The Oklahoma rose is characterized by its dense clusters of soft pink blossoms, which are sweetly fragrant and long-lasting. It is also known for its hardiness, as it is able to withstand extreme temperatures and is resistant to most diseases.

The Oklahoma Rose was officially adopted as the Oklahoma state flower in 2004. Before that, the Mistletoe had been the state flower since 1893. The Oklahoma Rose was chosen as the state flower due to its incredible beauty, its strong ties to the state, and its ability to survive in the harsh Oklahoma climate. It is the perfect symbol of Oklahoma's spirit of resilience and beauty.
