Tahir saheb it is a climber and it is very fragrant. CPM has less thorns also and beautuful apricot color. Umar Khan saheb I forgot to mention that Benjamin Britten and Strawberry Hill will definitely do better as climbers. BB is quite an aggressive climber on its own root.

Dr sb Day breaker is really a heart breaker.the shape is of perfect hybrid tea,high centered & color blend is so rich & crisp.i am adding it in my shopping list.Dr sb i love the hybrid tea spiral buds.this floribuda is so appealing.its good you told me that two of the D.As are climbers.i want bushes not climbers.

Hamad saheb indeed the daylilies are beautiful. This is the first time they are flowering in my garden and I am very happy with their size and look.

Khan saheb I've had my eye on Daybreaker for a while so I finally bought it. It is truly beautiful. Please also add Chandos Beauty, it is beautiful and fragrance matches the intensity of Double Delight.

Dr sb its already in my garden.Chandos beauty is a very robust hybrid tea bred by Harkness.Dr sb hybrid teas are my top most choice.spiral buds & hight centered blooms are very classic!

Khan saheb I too love hybrid teas. I prefer them to floribundas actually despite lesser flowering. DA is a separate category and unique in their own way.

Dr sb the scent of this gardenia is great.your looks very healthy.what is the secret.how have you changed the Ph from alkaline to acidic.there is fertilizer for acidic loving plant at Islamabad local garden centeres.but what to do with fertilizer unless & until the soil ph is still Alkaline.Dr sb i am enjoying the gardenia scent for the last seven years.

Khan Saheb I have been giving my gardenia iron and light NPK off and on. I can't say I have a schedule since I am reckless and sometimes busy with what we call life. Whenever I can remember I give iron. I also gave Potash this time. This same gardenia in pot is blooming smaller but the one in ground size is very good as you can see. I agree with you Khan Saheb like you said just let gardenias be, no godi no disturbance of roots. Nothing compares to jasmines and gardenias perfume wise but I must say I smelt Osmanthus tiny bloom and almos passed out due to beautiful fragrance

Khan Saheb did you like the DA rose Huntington?
