Rose Especial
Rose Especial is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the deliberate crossing of Long Valley Reserve, The Original Z, and Magnum Opus. This complex genetic lineage results in a stable specimen that reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. The plant is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, consistently delivering high yields while requiring a moderate level of grower expertise.
The chemical profile of Rose Especial is defined by a diverse terpene expression, led by a dominant concentration of myrcene. This base is complemented by a secondary layer of caryophyllene and limonene, followed by tertiary notes of pinene, linalool, terpinolene, humulene, beta-pinene, nerolidol, ocimene, guaiol, and bisabolol. These constituents harmonize to form a nuanced aromatic and flavor profile that reflects the breadth of its multi-strain parentage.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Rose Especial provides users with effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its immediate utility, the strain has established a genetic legacy as the parent of the notable offspring Pink Lychee.

spicy
●●○○
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.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
