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, or Indian Rose, is a traditional variety belonging to the Rosaceae family, celebrated for its hardiness and adaptability to Indian climates. Unlike hybrid roses, this indigenous species is fast-growing and more resilient to common pests and diseases, making it a favourite for home gardens. It produces vibrant, fragrant flowers in various colours, adding both beauty and cultural significance to any space. The plant's bushy growth habit and repeat flowering nature ensure a continuous display of blooms throughout its growing season.
For optimal growth and abundant flowering, the Desi Gulab Rose requires a minimum of 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It is an outdoor plant that thrives in bright, sunny locations. The ideal placement is an area that receives bright morning sunlight, which is crucial for healthy bud formation and flower development. While it loves the sun, it can benefit from some afternoon shade in extremely hot regions to prevent the leaves from scorching. A spot on a bright balcony, garden bed, or courtyard is perfect for this sun-loving plant.
Proper watering is key to a healthy rose plant. During the hot summer months, water your Desi Gulab every 3-4 days, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. In the cooler winter months, reduce the frequency to watering every 7-10 days. Always check the top inch of soil before watering; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Good drainage is essential, especially when the plant is in a pot, to prevent root rot. While the plant is adapted to Indian humidity, ensure it has adequate airflow around its foliage to prevent fungal issues.
It's important to note that all parts of the rose plant, including the stems, leaves, and flowers, can be mildly toxic to pets if ingested in large quantities. While the risk is generally low, it's advisable to place your rose plant in an area where curious cats or dogs cannot easily chew on it. The primary concern is the thorns on the stems, which can cause physical injury. If you have pets, monitor their interaction with the plant and consider placing it in a raised planter or a less accessible part of your garden.
