Blood Rose
Blood Rose is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Black Rose. As a versatile cultivar, it is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring moderate grower experience to reach its full potential. The plant maintains a 70-day flowering cycle and is recognized for its ability to produce high yields. Its genetic footprint is significant within the breeding community, as evidenced by its use in the development of numerous notable offspring including Afghani Ice Cream, Blood and Iron Haze, Blood Assassin, Blood Berry, Blood Gorilla, Blood Red Cookies, Chocolate Fantasy, Clockwork Blood, De Sade, Pink Afgooey, Pink Death Star, and Pink Mars OG.
The complex terpene profile of Blood Rose is led by caryophyllene, followed by humulene, linalool, and myrcene. This primary concentration is rounded out by a diverse secondary arrangement of limonene, nerolidol, and beta-pinene, supported by lower levels of pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, p-cymene, terpinolene, and bisabolol. This multi-layered chemical structure dictates the specific olfactory and gustatory experience of the strain, anchoring its sensory profile in this precise ranking of aromatic compounds.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Blood Rose is primarily utilized for its therapeutic potential in addressing symptoms associated with stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Users typically report a consistent profile of effects, characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Its legacy continues to permeate the modern market through its extensive lineage, establishing it as a foundational genetic component for a wide array of subsequent hybrid varieties.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
