Plants that give off fragrance have always been much loved, such as Acorus calamus, orchids, Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata', and gardenia. Placed indoors, the whole room is filled with their scent, freshening the air and also refreshing the mind. The flower introduced today is not only very fragrant, but also very beautiful, with an extremely long flowering period, and is praised as a must-have flower for the balcony.

This flower is named "Molineux", also known as Magic Radiance. It is a perennial shrub plant of the Rosaceae family, belonging to the English roses, bred and born in the United Kingdom in 1994. It bears deep yellow flowers, double-petaled, cup-shaped when first opening, like a rose, and after spreading out, like a peony, very shapely. The flower color gradually changes, finally with a yellow center and white edges, one flower with two colors, very beautiful.

Molineux is a strongly fragrant rose, with flowers carrying the scent of lychee plus rose water.

Molineux has another advantage: its branches are thornless or almost thornless, making it very suitable for home balcony potting, and it is highly adaptable, easy to cultivate, and very easy to keep alive. For potting, a loose, well-drained nutrient soil is best; place it in a spot with light, and water once the potting soil has dried out completely, otherwise leave it alone, and even beginners can grow it well.
