Just wondering where in Australia you are growing Ali Baba. I am in Toowoomba and was thinking of growing it on a fencing panel at the end iof my potting shed. Thanks Bonita

Beautiful rose. The ruffled flower shape looks a bit like 'Polka'.

Hi Nastarana
Thank you and yes, you're right, the flowers are very ruffled, like Polka, but the blooms are not as big as Polka and have less petals. They compensate for this with the abundance of blooms.

Hi Bonita
I grow Ali Baba in the Southern Tablelands of NSW, so, very cold winters and warm, but not too hot summers, with little to no humidity. It is in a position sheltered from the hot afternoon sun, and the worst of the winds. I think it would go well next to your potting shed. This rose does make a statement! :-)

Thanks very much. I will have to wait fir it next season now. I might grow a Petrea with it to quickly cover the frame before the rose arrives.
