Tuberose is a tropical perennial flowering plant valued for its strongly fragrant, white, waxy blooms. The word also refers to the perfume note derived from its intoxicating scent. The plant’s name combines tuber- (an underground bulb) with -ose (a Latin-derived suffix), signaling its bulbous origin and fragrant aroma. The term is used in horticulture and perfumery rather than everyday botany. 0
