| I once saw 5g plants of Sharifa Asma at Home Depot. (I should have bought it.) You could probably ask your local nursery to order it for you. |

| Meghan, I got my from a local nursery and from Roses Unlimited (3 plants - two from nursery one from RU) Yes, you should try Austins. I don't know where you live, but they're great roses here. It took me a while to be able to grow them (I don't know why and couldn't explain why), but they're doing well now for me, and they're fun to grow. I like especially The Generous Gardener, Crown Princess Margareta and Golden Celebration. The Sharifa Asma is too new to comment, but the flowers are magnificent. |

| I wish I could smell this rose; I've heard so much about its scent. Quite beautiful too. Ingrid |

| Jerome, Sharifa is one of two, no wait, now three Austins I have. I love the shape of the bush--tall and narrow and the blooms are beautiful, many times a lot like a peony. When the sun shines on them, they almost seem like they are lit from within. The fragrance is great. They are quite BS prone here in Atlanta which is the only fault I know. They are also very prickly--not a fault, imo, I just wouldn't want to sleep with one. Thanks for posting. Jeff |
