Growing Beautiful Roses on Your Terrace
Want roses that actually bloom in Delhi's weather? Whether it's English roses or hardy desi varieties, I can help you graft and grow them right here in the city.
This video shows my standard rose, which I created by grafting English rose buds onto a desi rose plant. I can teach you this amazing technique to create your own unique rose trees.

About this collection
Did you know you can grow multiple rose colours on a single plant? I use a simple technique called bud grafting to mix English and desi roses right here on my terrace. It is not as complex as it looks, and once you get the hang of it, you will see your garden bloom with different colours from just one stem.
Standard roses, where the flowering happens on a tall stem, are a great way to save space on a balcony or terrace. In Delhi NCR, the heat can be tough, but with the right care, you can maintain a beautiful English rose garden. I focus on practical, proven methods to keep them thriving.
Why Grafting Matters
Grafting allows you to combine the hardiness of a desi rose with the beauty and fragrance of an English rose. I have successfully grafted multiple colours onto a single plant, creating a conversation starter for your garden. If you have been struggling to get your roses to bud, I can show you the exact process of bud grafting so you can see results for yourself.
Rose Care in Delhi NCR
- Sunlight Mapping: Roses love the sun, but our Delhi summers can be harsh. I help you position your pots to get enough morning light while protecting them during the peak afternoon heat.
- Soil & Nutrition: You don't need expensive chemicals. I use a specific mix of compost and organic supplements to ensure your roses have the nutrients to support heavy, consistent blooming.
- Pest Control: Mealybugs and yellowing leaves are common. I will teach you organic ways to handle these pests before they take over your entire plant.
Whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your pruning technique, I am here to share what has actually worked in my own garden. Let's get your hands dirty and make your rose garden the envy of the neighbourhood.
