Nahema's bloom lasts longer than Austin roses, with a great floral scent. The leaves are glossy, and my own-root is very low-thorn. It has stiff branches and is a free-standing shrub in my zone 5a with winterkill. This rose is healthy, no balling in my limestone clay. It improved when I gave it sulfur (also has gypsum), to solve chlorosis in my alkaline clay.

It isn't thornless on Dr Huey.

It can't support itself here as a free standing shrub, either.

How many days do the blooms last on the cane in your area? Or perhaps compared to some of your other roses?

Does anyone with Nahema in Australia notice it blooming before November? For 3 years running, her first blooms for spring arrive in November. Country QLD, hot and dry most of the time. Receives water and fertilizer regularly. And is it true that pegging down is pointless because of no axial buds on the canes? (Edit October 2021: Last years two long canes that were tied down and only produced on the end of the canes, have sprouted all along the canes this year)

This rose does seem to flower quite late, I only got one flower in November and now in December about 10. While the flowers smell heavenly they only last a day in my my hot dry johannesburg climate. I think this rose will appreciate afternoon shade.

Since my last post, Nahema has continued her November commencement of the season (southern hemisphere for anyone reading who is saying ?huh? right now), but she has also 'grown up' at 5 years old finally putting out huge laterals from main canes and bunches of flowers at the end of each lateral. She is also proving to be a superb hip producer, but we will have to wait and see if any seed are viable. Luckily I have afternoon shade for her and the bloom last more than one day.

The flowers like the sun but do not like much rain. Very decease resistant only some minor blacks pots during the spring and minor powdery mildew during summer. But the plants recover quickly as it gets older.

Overall I like the performance of it here in Sydney, Australia and it will stay in my garden. My nahema is planted on north facing side of my garden which means here in down under it got a lot of sun.

The smell of it's flowers!!! Whoooh, it's heaven.

My brother in-law always bring these flowers on his restaurant to put a couple of flowers per table. And he always noticed all of his customers were smelling these nahema roses and asking what is the name of these roses and before checking his menu. :)

Thank you for that wonderful pictures. of Nahema. Mine died through a harsh zone 5a winter. I'm thinking about buying it again, but will have to give it the best care. What type of soil is best for Nahema? Sandy, loamy, or clay? How much sun is best for Nahema? full-sun or partial shade? Thanks for any info.

She doesn't like the shade. It will get spindly and the flowers stay small.

Thank you !! Bought Nahema the SECOND TIME as own-root this May 2017.. my 1st one died after a few winters. The second own-root Nahema is equally wimpy and stingy, in MG-moisture-control potting soil. Had the chance to compare Nahema grafted on Dr.Huey versus my own-root: The grafted-Nahema has DARKER GREEN foliage and BIGGER PRICKLES. My own-root Nahema has pale leaves and less prickles, but these tiny prickles still poke & quite sharp.

I found Nahema at long last but live in zone 5b--do you think I'd be setting myself up for heatache to plant it here? I thought to grow it against a west-facing exterior wall of my house; maybe that would help with ambient warmth?

Depends on the prevailing winds in winter. I would suggest to try. Maybe covering the lower part with coniferous twigs or branches. Than it will probably survive. Covering the foot with snow might help survive too. Bare frosts, combined with a strong wind and sunshine damage the roses the most is my experience.

Oooo. Nice :D

Was just alerted to this by StrawChicago's recent post below. Checked the nurseries listing to see if it was available in Australia. No listings on HMF at the moment, so checked the web.

This rose turns out to be available from Wagners: http://www.wagnersrosenursery.com.au/collections/delbard/products/nahema

It is also available from Rankins. I can't link to that page as well, due to HMF's restriction of one url per post, but if you go to their home page and add this to the url it will take you to the page for Nahema:
