We gave this unknown unnamed rose the study name 'Telengana Pink'. It is very hardy and since then we have found it growing in many places from Padmanabhapuram in southernmost spot of our country to the north in Rishikesh. Also in central India near Raipur and many other places growing well though untended. We also saw it in Petchaboon north of Bangkok in Thailand.
