Rafiq's Comments:
Pure/deep yellow color and fragrant. Its flower size and fragrance are reduced too in summer. Blooms repeatedly throught the year. Now gaining its size and fragrance as the temperature is droping. Good heat resistant. Planted in full sun without shade. These images taken in the month of October.

KBW's Comments
Extra large size highly fragrant dark red flowers. The bush has dark maroon branches which contrast very well with dark green leaves and large crimson flowers. Even the fresh leaves have a maroonish tinge which looks absolutely stunning. Some of the blooms were easily six inches. A very special rose indeed.

Rafique's Comments
Attractive lavender color with sweet strong fragrance. Flower size and fragrance reduced are in summer blooms. Plant is located in area where shade comes in afternoon which increase the bloom life a bit more. Good for vases.
Plant gains height at about 6 feet. Lightly pruned in the start of Oct. Images were taken on 17-Oct-13. Blooms repeatedly in year.

UMARKHANMARDAN's Comments
This rose has peach color blooms in colder months before pruning.In spring the blooms are soft pink what i like about this rose is its spiral buds, plenty of blooms, very double blooms with plenty of petal count, medium growth,strong delicate fragrance.The blooms are very heavy so please remove any buds in first two years. I have found its only plant in a truck in 2004 arrived at Allah tawakal nursery Rawalpindi.Then i grafted some ten more & now i have 15 bushes of this great rose. Its like Bejazo, not like Black tiger which have very low resistance to disease. A highly resistant rose.

KBW's Comments
The shade of the two roses, one being grown in Umar bhai's house and the others from a rose garden in Canada, looks quite different. One is one the peach / pink side and the other is cream/ yellow tinge. Since the rose garden is a botanical garden where the plants have been planted by experts and every bush contains a certified name plate, their is no doubt about the identity. I can only assume that the change in weather and soil causes this difference in shade. Any views on this??
