Rosa Nahema, climber
Genus: Rosa.
Species: Rosa Nahema.
Raised by Georges Delbard, France, 2006 with a renowned perfume in the Guerlain range based on the essence of this wonderful rose.
Nahema produces highly fragrant and deeply cupped pale, China pink blooms in profusion throughout the season. The flowers are good to use in flower arrangements because of their durability in the vase and as the petals drop, the perfume remains scattered around the base of the vase.
The foliage of Nahema is most unusual in that the leaves have a tendency to recurve which in any other rose might be a sign that the rose is too dry. This quirky difference makes Nahema readily identifiable, the foliage is very strong and disease resistant.
