Naresh Mahajan of India's northern state of Jammu and Kashmir is the proud owner of a 21-feet high rose creeper grown at his residence. Mahajan is now all set to approach the Guinness World Records to claim a place in it for the tallest rose bush in the world.

Mahajan had bought the plant four years back when it measured just one and half feet today, it is coiling around the bamboo in the vicinity of his house and almost measures 21-feet. Interestingly, the tallest rose plant registered in Guinness Book of World Records is only 13-feet which is in California. Unaware of the fact that a plant nurturing in the vicinity of his balcony had already crossed the world record, Mahajan was inspired to measure his creeper when he read in newspapers about the California bush.

Mahajan is now all set to approach the Guinness World Records to claim a place in it for his tallest rose bush in the world. Meanwhile, the Department of Floriculture of Jammu and Kashmir Government has endorsed the claim of Mahajan and the officials have proposed to process his claim if the plant continues to grow even after pruning.
