Water the plant deeply once a week with about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water, ensuring it reaches the roots. During hot, dry periods, increase watering frequency to twice a week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of leaf diseases; instead, water directly at the base of the plant. During winter or rainy seasons, reduce the amount of water to avoid root rot.
- Light
"Scent from Heaven" Climbing Roses perform best in full sun conditions. They require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive. Choose a spot in the garden that is exposed to sun throughout the day for optimal growth and flower production. Avoid planting in areas that are shaded for most of the day.
- Temperature
"Scent from Heaven" Climbing Roses prefer moderate temperatures and can generally survive within a range of 35°F to 90°F, but ideally, they should be grown in conditions where the temperature is between 60°F and 70°F. Ensure that the plant is protected from extreme cold by providing adequate insulation during frosty winters and from extreme heat by offering some shade during the peak of summer heat waves.
- Pruning
Pruning "Scent from Heaven" Climbing Roses is necessary to maintain their shape, encourage new growth, and improve air circulation. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove dead or diseased wood, and thin out any crowded areas. Aim to cut back about one-third of the old canes to promote healthy new branches. The best time for a heavier pruning is after the plant has finished its main flush of blooms.
- Cleaning
As needed
- Soil
Climbing roses like 'Scent from Heaven' prefer well-draining soil enriched with organic matter with a pH between 6.0 to 6.5. A mix of one-third each of topsoil, compost, and coarse sand or perlite is ideal for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- Repotting
Climbing roses such as 'Scent from Heaven' typically do not need to be repotted often as they are usually planted directly in the garden where they can spread their roots. However, if grown in large containers, they may require repotting every 2 to 3 years to replenish soil nutrients.
- Humidity & Misting
'Scent from Heaven' roses do well in average outdoor humidity levels. As long as the plant has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases, it does not need specific humidity adjustments.
- Suitable locations
Indoor
Ensure ample light; water when topsoil is dry.
Outdoor
Full sun, well-draining soil; prune in late winter.

- Life cycle
The life of the Scent from Heaven Rose ('Chewbabaluv') begins with the germination of its seed, which emerges as a seedling before developing a root system and foliage. As a climber, it enters a vigorous vegetative stage, where the stems grow long and produce compound leaves. The next stage is the flowering period, where the plant produces aromatic orange-pink blooms repeatedly throughout its growing season, attracting pollinators. After pollination, the flowers may develop into hips, containing seeds that can disperse for propagation. The rose then enters a dormant phase during colder months, reducing metabolic activity and conserving resources. With the return of warmer temperatures, the cycle resumes as new growth appears, leading back to the vegetative stage.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Spring to early summer
The Rosa Scent from Heaven, also known as 'Chewbabaluv' climbing rose, is often propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings. This method involves cutting a stem that is partially mature, typically in late summer or early fall, ensuring the stem has several nodes. The cut end can be dipped in a rooting hormone to increase the likelihood of success before being placed in well-draining soil. It should be kept at a consistent moisture level until roots develop, which can take several weeks. For best results, the cuttings should be taken from healthy, disease-free plants and the soil should be kept at a temperature around 70°F (21°C). This technique is favored for its relative simplicity and effectiveness in producing clones of the parent plant.
