Rose gardens are usually designed with a focus on the blooms of the plants. However, growing roses is not just about having nice-looking flowers. They have to be able to survive harsh weather conditions as well. The plant needs a steady supply of water and a balanced diet. The Chini Gulab rose is able to do well in both areas.
There are several different species of this plant, and they all have different needs. There is the Red Obake which has three shades of pink blossoms and they change with the seasons. This plant is ideal for a garden where you want to give a natural looking feature. If you want something that has a more elegant or formal look then you should try the White Obake. This has a white flower and there are other pink flowers available. It is also a good choice for a garden in the southern regions.
You should be careful about the type of plant you get as some are highly toxic. The Red Obake is one of them. Some others may also be toxic and can cause death. Before planting any rose plant it is important that you know all about its care requirements.

Growing this kind of rose is an excellent hobby and a beautiful addition to any home. The Chini Gulab rose can be planted in pots or directly in the garden and will thrive. Once it has grown to a reasonable size, you can train it to grow in a particular direction by removing some of the flowers to create a cross in the middle, thus creating an illusion of a column.
