Floral Descriptors
Floral descriptors in cannabis genetics refer to aromatic profiles commonly associated with flower-like scents—including rose, lavender, jasmine, orchid, and peony notes. These aromas typically arise from terpene combinations such as linalool, geraniol, and myrcene, which are also found in botanical flowers. Floral-tagged strains often trace lineage through parent varieties selected for aromatic complexity rather than sedation or stimulation profiles. Breeders working in this category frequently cross heritage cultivars or landraces known for secondary metabolite expression. Floral descriptors remain popular in craft breeding programs targeting sensory distinction and consumer recognition.

Breeders selectively work with floral-forward parent plants to stabilize and intensify these aromatic compounds across generations. Floral profiles are often combined with other terpene families (citrus, spice, earth) to create layered aroma signatures in F1 and stabilized lines.
