Update of 'Red Edin'.
Performed good in heat and good start too in humidity. Showing good resistance to summer and rainy season diseases. Not any symtoms of black spots,blight and other fungus relevant diseases till now .

With slight decrease in temp, the flower improved in size.

Rafique bhai, this is an extraordinary bloom on 26th of June. Well done.This looks like a well sheltered spot. How many hours direct sun do you get at this spot where you have the Red Eden bush and how much sunlight this spot was getting in Mar/Apr (if you could kindly recall)? Also, has the scent strength increased in warmer months or it has decreased as compared to what it used to be in Mar / Apr? Is the scent more pronounced during day or during night?

I know it would be hard to remember some of these things but I will be grateful if you provide this important information. It will help me a lot.
kind regards

Thanks you @KBW Bhai for appreciation. Really pleased to see you again after a long break.

This is the south face portion(kiari) of the lawn getting maximum sun in summer as well as in winter. As this rose bush is planted in the mid of kiari so get the afternoon shade at 2-3 o clock in May-June and I think same exposure it get in Feb-Mar. This year I did not covered the roses with any net just ensured the moist soil bed.
As far as the fragrance is concerned, its considerably low/negligible(in morning) compared to winter and spring blooms. I did not compared the morning and evening fragrance these days but I did compare the spring and winter blooms and always found early morning blooms more fragrant than afternoon or evening ones.

These are my observations to best possible of my memory and there may be slight variations.
