The Sugandha Rose
India Post issued two stamps on 23 December 1984, ₹1.50 and ₹2, on roses bred in India, as a tribute to the country’s rose breeders. Sugandha was bred by S. M. Bhattacharji in 1964. India Post’s folder describes its long pointed buds, from pure red to scarlet, opening into large, loose and gloriously scented flowers.
