Few more pics for reference.







Bolero has a very strong sweet rose scent which is quite close to one of its parent, Sharifa Asma. However, unlike all three of her parents which are in pink shades of varying intensity, Bolero is white, a little towards cream side when the buds are opening.

The pics above have been taken in Oct but I saw this bush in early Sep also and true to its name, it was full of white foamy flowers. Very light fragrance which is sometimes not noticeable. The best thing I liked about this rose was the spread of the bush in comparison to its height and it's foliage (have a look at pic 2 and 4). Can make a very good ground cover.

Fairest Cape has performed very well during hot summers of Okara. Flowers are beautiful and they are lightly scented. Though the flower size reduced in hot summers, the bush kept growing steadily. During spring season, the rose did really well but most other roses did the same. It is the ability to perform well in summer months that distinguishes Fairest Cape from others. A recommended rose for hot climates.

The Pilgrim has performed reasonably well during hot summers. If given some shade during the hottest months, it can do much better. Very strong spice scent and large size typical DA blooms. If the location is selected correctly, this rose has the potential to do much better. Beware, it can grow quite large.

Pictures: Taken by me of a bush planted in my home in Okara.



Pics have been taken during hottest part of the year in end June when many other roses were finding it hard to survive. One can say that this is the worst that you will see of this rose in 12 months. Most other times, blooms should be better than what you see in the pics.

HMF says that NIght Life has a moderate scent but the one in my house has a strong scent. In fact, it was not that strongly scented in Mar / Apr though the flower size was much bigger. In hotter months, the scent improved but flower size reduced. Scent is much more pronounced during night hours. A good climber to have in hot areas of Pakistan.

Pictures: Taken by me of a bush planted in my home in Okara.

AWARDS: One of the 15 roses so far Inducted in ROSE HALL OF FAME. Inducted in 1983.


As per HMF, Iceberg has a strong fragrance. May be in colder areas but in hot climate, it could only notice a light scent in most of the bushes that I checked. Other than scent, Iceberg is a very prolific bloomer in hot areas. It's robust and takes on the harsh climate well. Would need protection during the hottest dry month (which most roses would).

As per the pics given in HMF and elsewhere on the web, Poison is scarlet or dark scarlet but here in Pattoki, it was a blackish maroon as you can see in the pic above. Does hot climate darken the colour in this particular rose? Other members can add their experience on this information.
