About this stamp

On the Stamp

The four rose stamps printed together as a block: Bhim and Delhi Princess above, Jawahar and Neelam below.

Fragrance of Roses

India Post issued four stamps of Indian roses, two at ₹5 and two at ₹15, and a ₹40 miniature sheet on 7 February 2007: the varieties Bhim, Neelam, Delhi Princess and Jawahar. The four were also printed together as a block. Roses, the flowers of the genus Rosa, come in more than three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars, most of the species native to Asia. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
