Grande Dame--Is It Really GRAND?
Comments (12)If you look at the description of the rose in Edmunds catalog you will note that they mention the nodding blooms. It's just the nature of this rose to have large blooms and weak stems. Some might find a certain charm in that.....Lovely picture Mossy......Maryl Here is a link that might be useful: Edmunds-Grande Dame description...See MoreDoes anyone have a garden photo of Grand Sonata by Munson?

Comments (32)Been a busy, busy summer so I've been a bit MIA on the forum and just seeing this. I shovel pruned Perfume Delight this year due to it's horrible bs resistance here in hot, steamy Alabama. I still grow Grand Dame, Peter Mayle & Electron...all about equally bs resistant here...will get some bs in my low spray garden, but not too bad. I'm working to replace my worst bs offenders in an attempt to go no spray. I'm hopeful Grand Dame will be fine without any spraying since it is a favorite rose of mine...much prefer it over Electron or Peter Mayle. Electron blooms at least as much as GD for me (which is a lot), but not much fragrance to my nose and excessively thorny. Peter Mayle has great fragrance and a great cut flower, but not as prolific a bloomer and very tall, stiff, HT habit with blooms mostly up top...GD is very tall, too, but a much prettier bush. I like the old fashioned bloom form of GD, but if you prefer high centered, PM has huge HT type flowers. Electron has big, HT form blooms, as well, but not as huge as PM's. Neither PM or Electron's blooms nod, whereas, GD has some that nod and some that face upward. It took GD a few years to get strong enough canes to support all her blooms...I no longer have to add support for them. Here are all three in September after weeks on end of temps in high 90s/low 100s: Grand Dame Peter Mayle Electron...See MoreGrande Dame
Comments (31)Carol, I hope that you will get a chance to try it. I will get you a pic when it blooms this spring. This rose has been through alot and I am surprised that it is still alive. I planted it as a bareroot in late May when the weather was like mid 80F. Not a great start for it but it grew modestly and gave me a few blooms. Then it started leafing out early this spring and the foliage got zapped by the freeze. I thought it was a goner but four new basal breaks appeared in April and it is now showing 4 buds. I remember the blooms were very colorfast and unaffected by heat. I will have to see how it performs this year and compare it to its parent with respect to flower production, its repeat and get back to you with that info....See Morepat_bamaz7
