The flowers like the sun but do not like much rain. Very decease resistant only some minor blacks pots during the spring and minor powdery mildew during summer. But the plants recover quickly as it gets older.
Overall I like the performance of it here in Sydney, Australia and it will stay in my garden. My nahema is planted on north facing side of my garden which means here in down under it got a lot of sun.
The smell of it's flowers!!! Whoooh, it's heaven.
My brother in-law always bring these flowers on his restaurant to put a couple of flowers per table. And he always noticed all of his customers were smelling these nahema roses and asking what is the name of these roses and before checking his menu. :)

Thank you for that wonderful pictures. of Nahema. Mine died through a harsh zone 5a winter. I'm thinking about buying it again, but will have to give it the best care. What type of soil is best for Nahema? Sandy, loamy, or clay? How much sun is best for Nahema? full-sun or partial shade? Thanks for any info.

She doesn't like the shade. It will get spindly and the flowers stay small.

Thank you !! Bought Nahema the SECOND TIME as own-root this May 2017.. my 1st one died after a few winters. The second own-root Nahema is equally wimpy and stingy, in MG-moisture-control potting soil. Had the chance to compare Nahema grafted on Dr.Huey versus my own-root: The grafted-Nahema has DARKER GREEN foliage and BIGGER PRICKLES. My own-root Nahema has pale leaves and less prickles, but these tiny prickles still poke & quite sharp.

I found Nahema at long last but live in zone 5b--do you think I'd be setting myself up for heatache to plant it here? I thought to grow it against a west-facing exterior wall of my house; maybe that would help with ambient warmth?

Depends on the prevailing winds in winter. I would suggest to try. Maybe covering the lower part with coniferous twigs or branches. Than it will probably survive. Covering the foot with snow might help survive too. Bare frosts, combined with a strong wind and sunshine damage the roses the most is my experience.

Very healthy leaves, I have not seen any black spots since the start of the Spring here in Australia. Even though there is no strong heavenly scent the blooms show equals it all.
It's also very hardy, last year (I mean the whole last year) was a disaster. Possums ate all of it's top leaves and all it's flower buds and only left me it's canes and lower leaves. This year it came back after I installed a Possums barrier during the winter 2016 which are located on top of the fence
