WOW Umar... loving the colors.. Sonnet is an excellent, uniform and compact series.. looks awesome in mass planting.. you have got some very nice roses.... nowadays Karachi's weather is hot and despite roses are growing and budding... the flowers dont last for two days before they fade or drop petals...

Very beautiful flowers. Well done Umar Khan.

[usmanhaider]

very nice garden. i appriciate your interest to show us you beautiful garden. specially roses are mind blowing.

[aykhan]

Mashallah Umar, what more can I say. Your garden speaks for itself! After your rose pathway pictures there's a picture of a soft pink rose amid the blue pansy, which rose is it? It looks like a David Austin. Also do you have some one do "godi" in your rose beds or do you think it is unnecessary for healthy rose plants? What is your spraying regimen for pesticides and anti-fungal?
I have removed all other plants from the rose beds since usually rose care requirements are different and usually other plants don't fit well with roses specially in narrow 1-1.5 foor beds.

Mashllah beautiful garden Umar especially the standard roses

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Thanks to friends.Khan sb godi is very very important to maintain good health of every plants.specially in summer one have to do weeding every week as the weeds grow so fast.i use to keep insecticides & fungicides in my store so not to give any chance to pest to destroy my plants.i hard prune my roses.i do mix some annuals like this time i have planted pansies as they are early bloomers.dragon Admiral as its a late bloomer & will even bloom when the roses are past.the one with blue pansy is David Austin,s Sharifa asma.Ahmad sb i have some standards at Mardan & in Islamabad as well.the one you told me is a climber i have posted that one.its the climbing mutant of micheal angelo.but i use it as a bush as it is not a good climber.

[aykhan]

Is your Sharifa Asma budded or own root and from where did you get it? Does that nursery have more DA and Meilland roses?

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

How is this Meilland late bloomer.i love this cream color rose.i got my Sharifa Asma from Fateh Muhammad nursery Islamabad.he has wide variety of roses.but you can also get this rose from Tekadar nursery,Patoki.Dr sb all my roses are grafted ones.
