Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Desi Gulab is a traditional Indian rose variety prized for its hardiness, rich fragrance, and abundant blooms. Unlike hybrid roses, this native variety is well-adapted to Indian climates, thriving in both summer and winter with minimal care. Its bushy growth habit produces multiple stems with layered, fragrant flowers that make it a standout in any garden. The plant's cultural significance in India, often used in poojas and garlands, adds to its appeal as a beloved flowering shrub.
Desi Gulab roses require plenty of sunlight to flourish. Place your plant in an area that receives 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily, preferably morning sun. As an outdoor plant, it's ideal for gardens, balconies, or patios with bright light. While it can tolerate some afternoon shade, insufficient light may reduce flowering. Ensure the location has good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially during humid weather.
Water your Desi Gulab every 3-4 days in summer and reduce to every 7-10 days in winter. Always check the soil moisture before watering—avoid waterlogging as it can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining soil mix combining garden soil (50%), organic compost (40%), and coarse sand (10%). This blend provides the nutrients and drainage needed for healthy growth. Apply organic manure like cow dung or vermicompost monthly to support vigorous flowering.
Desi Gulab roses are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional pruning. Remove dry, weak, or dead branches to maintain airflow and encourage new growth. Pruning also helps in shaping the plant and promoting more blooms. Minimal care is needed compared to hybrid roses, but regular checks for pests like aphids are recommended. Use neem spray every 2 weeks as a natural pest control measure to keep your plant healthy.
