The rose-colored buds that precede the richly fragrant baby-pink flowers are so beautiful you may find yourself drawn to collect them for tea. Unlike many fragrant vines that offer scent or visual appeal separately, Rose Jasmine delivers both in abundance, with weeks of continuous blooming and a lush, full evergreen canopy that remains attractive year-round. The exquisite wafting fragrance alone justifies growing this vine in a warm corner of the garden.
Rose Jasmine serves as an ornamental vine that adds fragrance and visual interest to warm landscape settings. The buds can be collected fresh and steeped in hot water to create a fragrant tea with a delicate floral character.

Establish Rose Jasmine in its permanent location in spring, after the last frost date for your zone. Choose a warm, protected spot, ideally against a south-facing wall or trellis where the vine can bask in sunlight and be sheltered from harsh winds. Space according to the mature size of your support structure, typically allowing room for the vine to develop its full, lush form.
Collect the rose-colored buds when they are firm and fully formed but before they open into flowers. Harvest in the morning when the buds are at their most fragrant. Buds can be used fresh in tea immediately after collection for maximum flavor and aroma.
Prune Rose Jasmine after flowering to shape the vine and encourage dense, bushy growth. Remove any dead or damaged wood, and thin crowded stems to improve air circulation and maintain an attractive form on your support structure. Light pruning throughout the growing season helps direct growth along your trellis or arbor.
