Today's star
For flower lovers who have long been "hooked" on growing flowers, keeping only pothos, spider plants and succulents at home no longer satisfies their ornamental needs. This issue introduces a plant with brilliant flower color, a long blooming period, and a lovely fragrance.

Graham Thomas
Graham Thomas was bred in 1983 in the United Kingdom by David Austin, the world's greatest rose breeder. It is a shrub that grows upright, has a climbing habit and can also be grown as a climber. The flower shape is cupped, medium in size, with a flower diameter of about 8 cm and 35 petals. The flower is a bright, eye-catching deep yellow, with a well-formed bloom, and it is one of the most classic varieties.
Beautiful and fragrant
Thomas blooms extremely well, flowering repeatedly across multiple seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and is one of the longest-flowering plants on earth. Not only is the flower color beautiful, but the blooms also give off a strong scent similar to violets, rich and fragrant, refreshing to the heart, beautiful and fragrant. Keep one on the balcony at home, and when it blooms, its fragrance fills the whole house, letting you enjoy the flowers and the scent at the same time.
Easy to care for
Thomas has excellent, stable quality and is not prone to degeneration. It is mildly cold-tolerant, has good heat resistance, and is also disease-resistant, making it low in difficulty to grow. It is suitable for cultivation in both southern and northern China, and can be grown in the ground in courtyards or in pots on balconies for ornament. Generally, a flower pot of about two gallons is enough, and care is very easy. For potting, soil that is loose, well-draining and rich in nutrients is best.
