Roses in Lahore

[aykhan]

I love Zephrine Drouhin and it is actually flowering in my lawn right now. You can see in the pics I uploaded. It is however mostly a once bloomer. I am still waiting on the Teasing Georgia to bloom. Never got to buy the Heritage but I have acquired Huntington which also pink and supposedly more heat tolerant. 4th of July is a striped climber I believe but is single flower but I've been considering it. Umar Khan saheb has it blooming well. Pleasure to have another rose aficionado on the forum

The fragrance of Zephrine Drouhin is supposed to be lengendary as it is an old classic. Was it acquired from Haji Ibrahim?

[rafique]

@mikhurram you have a great collection of roses. All at full of flowers. Thank you for describing the ids.
Please to see such roses in lahore environment, as some of them are looking 1 year plus.

[mikhurram]

Mr. Rafique i sincerely hope that you find the ID's useful. These are two year old roses. There are countless others i was unable to post like Augusta Luise. I may post them next week. with best wishes

Rafique sb from where can i get Deep Secret its really i beauty i am looking for.I have secret but Deep Secret.

[aykhan]

Rafique saheb Applause appears to be another purple rose with a faintly blue hue just like Blue For You. A true blue rose has been a struggle for rose hybridizes for years and the challenge continues.

Umar Khan saheb, Deep Secret was available at Changa this year. I have it and it is beautiful dark crimson red and extremely fragrant.

Beautiful roses!! I too love D.A roses! My favourite till now has been sharifa asma!

I planted NAHEMA recently. Not yet flowered. How fragrant is the bloom when you compare to Double Delight?

The fragrance is not comparable. Double delight has a rosy smell. Nahema, when I smelled it, I didn't wanna take my nose out! It has a unique scent; There is a perfume based on this rose too

Probably mites on Nehema.....kindly check underneath leaves
