Disease resistant coral rose??
Comments (24)For screaming neon coral, Lady Elsie May is as disease resistant and continually blooming as they come. I'm not a huge fan of semidouble roses, but LEM has worked her way into my top 20 roses by sheer exuberance. She's almost never out of bloom. For a more apricot tone, the Easy Elegance rose Sweet Fragrance is also unstoppable, disease free here, and in my top 20 rose list as well (out of over 1000 now). Sweet Fragrance is in the foreground here, and in the rear is Carefree Celebration. It's equally disease free but fades to a nasty brown edged pink that is quite unappealing to me: Smiling Jean is another semidouble like LEM that blooms its little heart out and is totally trouble free. It stays naturally shorter than the previous two so it's nice for a 3' space each direction. Here it is with a clematis to set it off in the background. Jolie Veranda is very low growing and tough as nails. She tends toward the orange side of coral for me. First Edition is one I'm replacing this year and it struck me as pretty neon coral on first glance. In previous lives in my garden, it has faded to pinkish pretty quickly. Artistry is indeed coral in her first blooms for me and consistently so. I don't know about disease resistance as this one is a replacement for me as well, but it's a nice solid coral color. As far as coral color, my Electric Blanket/Bad Birnbach arrived this year with a bloom that was absolutely hot pink. I had presumed it would be coral but it sure wasn't to start. Incidentally, the "Bad" in the name has nothing to do with quality - it's a German word meaning "Bath" and it figures into other German rose names (like Bad Worishofen/Pink Emely). It's also supposed to be tough as nails. There are plenty more roses that are a milder sort of coral, but those are the first ones that come to mind.

Comments (52)Pink Rose, I know Cool Roses sells a wider variety of roses on their website. The ones on their site is ones that they ship. If there is a certain rose that you are looking for, I would at least suggest calling and asking if they have it. Also, Geoff will do custom grafts. I second SoFl that you should call them; they will bring things to the sale in Orlando. SoFl I love my Nahema and Dames De Chennonceau! They are doing great. Though, I tried to rescue a Nahema that someone else shovel pruned and left by the side of the road. It did not make it. I also lost one that I purchased that was in my "rose pond". I think the roots don't like it if you try and move it. I am glad to know that Edenmy eye on that one. Duchess De Brabant is beautiful, but hated my yard. I think it puts down really deep roots, because it died back in wet time of the year, even though it was not in the pond. Quietness, does well on own root. I dont think it likes to be sprayed though, but it seems to be tough without it....See MoreReplacement for Love Song. . .Recommendations?
Comments (30)Sarah, you opened a floodgate of memories! I had a dear and close friend who lived in Puyallup and owned a shop in Sumner. A few years after she lost her husband, she cut ties with old friends and just disappeared. I worry about her all the time, but I think she doesn't want to be found. She had such a beautiful garden. Everything she planted became full and lush and gorgeous. Sorry this was so OT, but couldn't help myself....See MoreAnother question- rose replant disease and distances between roses
Comments (17)This is a never ending issue here. Commercial rose growers near me rotate the fields, not returning to the original one for at least 7 years, they replant with new roses in a neighbouring field, but the old one is left to grow other crops, after all the roses have been dug up and sold off.. I have done my own experiments in a small way... I have found that mycorrhizal fungi stops the issue occurring most of the time, without soil replacement, but is not 100 percent guaranteed to solve the problem every time... I have just dug up a rose that I know was suffering despite MF treatment at planting time... David Austins told me it's ok to replant if the old rose had not been growing for more than 2 years,,, my experience is different and agrees with the RHS who say that just a few months is enough to cause a problem between roses.. I have also found that replacing an own root rose with a grafted one, did not affect the new rose, but when I replaced a grafted rose, with an own root, the own root rose suffered and languished - I can tell just by looking at it.. it still hasn't recovered fully.. Another way around it, is to plant a new rose just a couple of feet to the side of the original planting hole, I've got away with that a few times... Last year, I dug out a large 'Mutabilis', that had been growing for some 7 years, and was about 8 foot tall by 10 foot wide... I replanted with a transplanted 'Cornelia' rose using 'MF'... without any soil amendments. This rose has thrived and has been in full bloom already...showing no signs of ill health... you win some, you lose some it seems.....See MoreMoses, Pittsburgh, W. PA., zone 5/6, USA
