Munawar’s Zen (non-religious variety), gardening and a better way of Life - Blog

My Louise Odier Rose Bush (David Austen Roses) is now into it’s second year.  I planted it Bare Root, and now it is getting along well.  It is not as fragrant as I would have expected from the descriptions.  But it may be due to it’s age / soil / health.

Regardless, it is incredibly beautiful.

This Rose is mentioned in the book:
