"Telengana Pink" rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Girija Virraraghavan writes about Telangana Pink: "This is China rose we found first in the 1960s in Nizamabad in the Telangana region of the then Andhra Pradesh State where Viru was posted as Collecting and District Magistrate. 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. Viru has used it in his hybridising ..Coffee Country to name one
