Blood Rose
Also known as: Blood Rose OG, Blood Rose Kush
What is the Blood Rose strain?
Blood Rose is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Blood Rose is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its distinctive appearance and complex terpene profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most sources suggest it emerged from California's medical cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The name derives from the strain's unique visual characteristics, particularly the deep red and purple hues that can develop in the flowers under certain growing conditions, resembling the color of blood and dark roses.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display a striking color palette ranging from forest green to deep purple, with vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes. The flowers typically have a compact, indica-dominant structure with tight node spacing. When properly cultivated, Blood Rose plants may develop anthocyanin pigments that create the signature red and purple coloration, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Blood Rose is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines floral, fruity, and earthy notes. The strain has remained somewhat elusive in mainstream cannabis markets, primarily circulating among specialty growers and medical cannabis patients who appreciate its unique characteristics. Due to its relative rarity, comprehensive laboratory data and consistent grower reports are limited compared to more established commercial strains.

How do you grow Blood Rose?
Blood Rose is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors when given adequate space.
Indoor cultivation is generally recommended for better environmental control, particularly temperature management which is crucial for developing the strain's signature coloration. Yields are moderate, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-22 ounces per plant outdoors under ideal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development.
Special considerations include maintaining cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60-65°F or 15-18°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering to encourage anthocyanin production and enhance color development. Blood Rose prefers stable environmental conditions and may be susceptible to mold in high humidity, requiring good air circulation and careful humidity management during flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen in later flowering stages.
