Thanks, Rosie! the scent is hard to explain. the tag when I bought it said a strong tea scent. its not really flowery,but it is sorta strong,but not overpowering...like I say,hard to explain...

i believe that somewhere in da darkest night...a candle glows,
i believe for every drop of rain that falls...a flower grows....

Those are all so pretty.
Thanks for sharing!

Just beautiful, nml. Makes me want to learn how to care for them. I would love the fragrance around the house, too...That it originally comes from Malaysia makes it very special...

I have a Tropicana, a hybrid Tea Rose, and it hasn't done diddly this year. In fact, I've been disappointed in it for several years but my mom gave it to me the year before she passed away and I hate to get rid of it. The first year or two, it was beautiful...but that's history. They are very prone to mildew, black spot, bugs, etc. here. It may be different in other climates.

I didn't even get any good pictures this year due to so few blooms. I snagged this one from a website...


Mrs. B, this is all the info I have on one of my famous, stoopid online orders from Springhill Nursery and it included some lovely orange mini-roses that sound like what you described...Orange Honey. I say "stoopid" because all of them croaked except the Green Ice which have done very well in a large container on the front porch.

But i dont give up.....

Hi thought I'd share my rose too.

Planted this mini rose this year and it's blooming steadily.



My daughter took this picture right after rain.

For this "New Year" help me to be kinder and more loving to all around me, I pray.
