from Changa nursery, Pattoki... a truck was coming to Karachi... in Karachi roses are not usually available by name... the database of this forum and your own selection helped me greatly in this selection...

Roses right now are just twigs without any leaves...

Salvias were bought as seedlings they are Salsa series..
