I love that yellow color of Molineux, light pink of Sharifa Asma & Heritage. How do you like the scent of each? Thanks.

thank you !! Sharifa Asma is my favorite scent too, Its patent expires and I hope to root more, except mine is so tiny. Moved it to partial shade this year, hope that works.

Good luck!

filly..... your Sharifa Asma and Molineux look great. Sharifa Asma has a great scent no doubt. One of my favourite too.

Straw: Sharifa Asma roots very well in my area. Here is a cutting from this spring...healthy and growing well.

I just ran across this thread. Beautiful pictures filly and Khalid! Now I'm getting excited about mine arriving tomorrow. Very happy to see it surviving in a pot because that's where it will have to go, at least for a while.

Lavender, my Sharifa is in a pot. It's own root and very spindly. I planted in the ground first during summer but it looked sad. I think it will do better in a pot

Oh, very good news, thanks for that! Hopefully, one less thing to worry about.

I'm so happy to hear that Sharifa has more scent than Heritage. My Heritages are first year but the scent hasn't remotely compared to first year Jude the Obscure.

Love your Roses.

My Heritage is very big it gets good soil. I am not sure what it is. I planted it in the lasagna style method.

I did not dig a hole. I didn't disturb the soil structure. I made the sheet mulch pile in February. I put nutrient specific compost there on the top of the soil. Coffee grounds bone meal Egg shells and leaves with 3 layers of cardboard. Then in June I separated a small area in the middle and put it there. It was from Pickering Ontario Canada.

Fascinating, Sam. I had never considered doing that for a rose, although I've read the R.stout method for veggies. Was this a band? Heritage is a very beautiful plant reminding me of New Dawn in colour. Impressive growth for a first year own-root. I may try thins. How much had the ingredients composted down when you planted it out?

Ruth Stout is fascinating. Green Thumb without a hurt back.

I did that lasagna method years ago on the Heritage. Most of it broke down but not all.

Right now I am reading Jeff Lowenfels.
