Are roses about to be phased out? This flower grows fast, blooms profusely, and is delightfully fragrant

Soft vines, glossy green leaves, and snow-white or creamy-yellow flowers clinging to trellises or fences, giving off a rich fragrance from April to June - this is the banksia rose (Rosa banksiae), greatly loved by many flower enthusiasts.

The banksia rose grows very quickly, with three to five pointed leaves that look quite like bamboo leaves. I bought mine around July last year, a very tiny seedling, not even big enough to count as a toothpick seedling, and this year it has already grown this big, and it is covered with flower buds.

The banksia rose is highly adaptable. It can be planted in courtyards, in front of windows, or in balcony planting troughs with a small trellis or wooden frames of various shapes. After planting, the branches and vines are trained to climb and grow along the support. It can also be grown in pots. The banksia rose is not demanding about soil. As for choosing soil, we can simply dig up some yellow soil and it will do.

When the banksia rose is in full bloom, the white flowers are like snow and the yellow flowers are brilliant, with a delightful fragrance. It is said that its scent can be smelled from ten li away. It is a traditional trellis flower in our country.
