Platinum Rose
Platinum Rose
Also known as: Platinum Roses
Overview
Platinum Rose is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the potent Rose X Animal Cookies X Wedding Cake strains. Platinum Rose began appearing on West Coast menus during the late 2010s, coinciding with a broader movement toward dessert-floral cultivars. The name "Platinum" telegraphs exceptional frost—dense, silvered trichomes that give buds a metallic sheen under light. This bud has fluffy, grape-shaped minty green nugs with golden undertones, thin orange hairs and chunky, golden-white trichomes. The "Rose" signals a distinct floral top note, often tied to geraniol and linalool. The taste will leave you dreaming of your next toke, with a blend of sweet, creamy vanilla accented by sour, citrusy lemons and a hint of flowery roses. The aroma is even more intoxicating, with a flowery rose overtone accented by spicy earthiness and sweet, creamy vanilla. This tasty bud is a cartridge favorite but is often sought out for its great flavor and surprisingly bright, energizing effects. When grown well, it delivers consistent bag appeal, strong resin yield for extraction, and a flavor that survives post-processing better than many OG-leaning hybrids.

Growing Information
Total cannabinoid values often above 20% by weight and terpene totals commonly in the 1.5–3.5% range. Platinum Rose commonly tests at 18–26% THC by dry weight, with top-shelf phenotypes occasionally reaching 27–30%. The first phenotype is "Platinum-forward," with denser colas, more gas-pepper undertones, and slightly sedating effects; this cut often finishes in 56–63 days. The second is "Rose-forward," with brighter floral-citrus aromatics, slightly airier bud structure that resists botrytis better, and a mood-lifted start before body relaxation; this cut sometimes prefers 60–67 days. Across dispensary menus, Platinum Rose is positioned as a functional evening strain: bright enough for conversation, heavy enough for deep relaxation. Solventless rosin yields from flower commonly range 20–28% by weight when grown and cured correctly. Difficulty level is moderate, requiring attention to airflow and defoliation for optimal yields.
