More information
An English rose showing old-rose character. The blooms open wide and cup-shaped, then the outer petals gradually reflex to form a neat rosette. The color is very delicate pink, paling to almost white at the edges. The shrub is low and upright. Can be damaged by very hot sun. The fragrance is pleasant and fruity, recalling white grapes and mulberries.
The thin petals can brown and dry out in heat.
Sharifa Asma is noted for pale pink blooms and a compact, well-shaped bush. It is frequently planted in small gardens among Austin roses. The blooms fade to white at the edges, passing through porcelain pink and then paler still, while the center retains a yellow tinge. Flowers are densely borne, cup-shaped at first; later the outer petals bend back to form a rosette. They appear in small, dense clusters, usually 3–4 per cluster. The fragrance is complex, with tones of myrrh and rose oil, musk, and a sweet note. The foliage is large and shows disease resistance; the bush is prickly, low, upright, with stiff shoots. Blooms in waves.
