Moosey's picture of her pale pink Sharifa Asma is one of my favourite pictures on the site. Such a gorgeous rose! Is yours pink too?
Moosey might recommend planting it close to the house to appreciate the wonderful smell

It is the most beautifully fragrant rose - in my garden it's quite a medium sized bush, with good foliage etc. The fragrance has to be enjoyed - please position Sharifa Asma so it can be thus enjoyed!
Also has a beautiful coloured flower, though when I try picking for the house all the petals fall off in a day!
Cheers, and happy rose gardening,
