About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Adenium Obesum Rosa is the genus of flowering shrubs that gives us the rose — humanity’s most beloved and cultivated ornamental plant for over 5,000 years. In India, roses have been grown in Mughal gardens since the 16th century and remain the most widely planted ornamental shrub from the Himalayan foothills to the tropical gardens of Kerala. Modern hybrid tea roses produce large, perfectly formed blooms on long straight stems — ideal for cutting and gifting. Floribunda roses produce clusters of flowers in spectacular abundance. Miniature roses are perfect for pots and window boxes. Climbing roses can transform walls and trellises. Whatever the type, roses reward attentive care with spectacular, fragrant flowers in an extraordinary range of colours — from pure white and cream through every shade of pink and coral to deep vermillion and burgundy.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: How often should I water roses?
A: Every 3–5 days in growing season, watering deeply at the base. Avoid wetting leaves to prevent fungal diseases like black spot.

Q: When should I prune roses?
A: Main pruning in February–March before new growth starts. Deadhead spent blooms throughout the season to encourage repeat flowering.

Q: Why are my rose leaves turning black?
A: Black spot fungal disease — very common in humid conditions. Remove affected leaves, improve air circulation and apply copper fungicide.

Q: Can roses grow in pots?
A: Yes — use a 12–16 inch pot with good drainage. Miniature and patio roses are particularly well suited to container growing.

Q: Which is better — grafted or own-root?
A: Grafted roses on appropriate rootstock generally grow more vigorously. Own-root roses can be more resistant to certain pests.
