Large sized rose and very fragrant too about 4 inch dia. Picture contributed by Gardening Pakistan member Rafique of a rose growing at his place in Lahore.





Pictures taken by KBW in a rose garden in Niagara Park, Canada on 14 Oct 13.

KBW's Comments
Look at the size of bloom in first picture. It's around 5.5" which is XXL. Elina, which is called Peaudouce here, seems to have slightly darker shade in cooler climate and the flowers are more "double" in shape. I wish these extraordinarily beautiful roses were more fragrant.

André Michaux described Rosa laevigata in Flora Boreali-Americana (1803) from specimens located in the Southern state of Georgia in the USA. The same rose, from China, had been given the name Rosa sinica earlier, in 1789, and was described as in cultivation in 1759. But because the same name, R. sinica, was also used by Linneaus to describe the China rose Rosa chinensis, the name was found to be invalid by Crépin under the rules of taxonomy.

Rosa laevigata Michaux is native to the sub-tropical parts of S.E. China and Vietnam, is naturalized over large areas in the American South, and is not reliably hardy in the USA below Zone 7

Above three pics were taken by me in a friends house in Bahawalpur during mid May 2013. At that time, it was already quite hot in Bahawalpur but as you can see, the bushes are doing quite well and are full of bloom (though the prime spring period in Bahawalpur has already passed). The size of the flower in view has gone small as compared to the size that we see in Islamabad or Quetta (Quetta is extra large size). This speaks about the versatility of this rose with regards to its adaption to varying climates. It performs very well in cold climate of Quetta which again strengthens my observation that roses which perform well in very cold climates perform reasonably well in very hot climates as well.

This picture is from a bush growing at my home in Okara.





These pictures were taken in Okara during early June when the temperatures were touching 43*C. As you can see, Fragrant Cloud is still performing quite well.



This picture is of the same bush in Okara taken by end Jun when the temperatures had touched 47*C for a couple of days and mostly remained over 43*C. Fragrant Cloud is still blooming though the bloom size has reduced drastically and is not even half of its size in spring. The scent has also reduced in the hotter month however, it is still providing some colour to the landscape.

Fragrant Cloud has been a very successful rose for the hotter areas of Pakistan. In very cold areas like Quetta and Skardu, it may not survive winters well unless the routes are well protected during winters. I grew Fragrant Cloud in Quetta as well and we had to do winter mulching. However, when it survives the winters, one is rewarded with a bloom of extraordinary size during spring, much bigger than what we get here in Punjab. The scent is also stronger in cooler climates.

AWARDS: One of the 15 roses so far Inducted in ROSE HALL OF FAME. Inducted in 1981.
