What Roses Are You Adding This Season?

14 years ago

I thought it would be fun to see what roses everyone was planning on adding to their gardens this coming season. For me, I'm adding Jubilee Celebration, Queen of Sweden, Fragrant Cloud, and Double Delight.

What roses caught your eye that you plan on adding this season?

I have Pretty Jessica, Cream Abundance and Velvet Fragrance coming from Heirloom. I have been working on my Roses Unlimited order but it is not finalized as of yet. I keep seeing photos that I must have!! I just saw The Alnwick Rose photos and add it to my very long list.I`m considering Firefighter, President Herbert Hoover, Lilian Austin and Coffee Country. This could change up to the moment I press the sold button! Lesley

I had similar experiences. Like Seil I had a hard winter, lots of dieback, too much rain and cloud cover, so much BS, but some spurts of great roses blooming. Sara, last year I had more roses and could cut a bouquet whenever, not this year, about 1/3 less blooms. However, right now the bushes are looking good with chance of frost tonight. I plan on cutting this evening! I do think I had more fun growing and enjoying my roses this year than in the past.

I hope y'all are ready for my list! For two years, I've been 'on hold' while the planning and implementing of a huge construction job in my yard. I had to dig up a lot of my roses, didn't dare plant any and of course kept 'collecting'. Now the work is done and I have a lot more room. Plus with experience, I know what I want. I also lost a lot of roses between the Polar Vortexes and some that I dug up did not survive. I've also decided to get back into Hybrid Teas in a big way, I like exhibiting and doing arrangements, and they are the best for that. I also want to start with minis, so I'm stocking up on them. Ordered from Palantine, on multiflora, just came two weeks ago: Double Delight (was to replace mine that I thought was dead, but it's still alive, I dug it up and am keeping it in a pot) Gemini (I had this years ago, but it didn't make it) Pope John Paul II Rainbow Niagara (this is aka Tropical Sunset, which I lost last winter) Dainty Bess Paradise Razzle Dazzle Dark Desire Lucille Ball From Rogue Valley, caused by a thread on GW about buds and sepals... Won Fang Yon Cesoine Bella Donna Leda Nuits de Young Mystery Rose Ordered from a local nursery, will have in April: Dick Clark New Zealand Moonstone Munstead Wood St. Patrick (had this, loved it, lost it) Picked up at the DSD Mid-Winter Meeting: Mrs. BR Cant (replacement) Tradescant (on Fortuniana, a replacement) Randy Scott (also on fort) Magnificent (also on fort) Glowing Amber (mini) Mini-Floras from Kroger: Flawless Powerhouse Patron Ambiance Classic HTs from Home Depot: Chrysler Imperial Pink Peace Tropicana Gene Boerner (floribunda) Chamblees order through my Rose Society: Darcey Bussell (already blooming!) Southern Peach (mini-flora) Deja Blue (mini-flora) Mrs. BR Cant Crepescule (replacement for one that didn't survive being dug up) Loretta Lynn Van Lear (already has buds and they look amazing) Pearle d'Or (this one I bought 2 years ago but haven't been able to plant yet) Burlington Roses, bought last year, still in pots Power Point Miniflora Merlot Mini Orange Parfait Mini Jean Kennerly Mini Irresistible Mini Twilight Zone (I think this one is gone, I will have to get another one) Additional ones I picked up here and there, many from my rose group Queen Elizabeth Shrub Blumenschmidt Madame Plantier (2) Homere Nastarana Swamp Rose Mutabilis Cramoisi Superieur Alnwick Castle Tess of the Dubervilles JFK Ballerina (replacement, lost to RRD) Reve d'Or (replacement lost to RRD) It sounds like a lot, it IS a lot. If you add in the roses I had that I had to dig up, it's over 70. But I am getting three new beds and I have most of the spots planned. If I don't get them all planted this year, it's not a huge deal. Wish me luck! Almost forgot! I have a bunch of roses that we dug up from a fellow members garden. He went into assisted living and wanted his roses to go to members. In addition to the Reve d'Or and Ballerina, I have Madame Hardy (didn't think it was going to make it, but it's putting on new growth) Polka, a climber that I will give to another member. The rest I have no idea what they are! That will be the fun in seeing them bloom and identifying them based on his lists (unfortunately the tags were gone). I know one is a rugosa from the foiliage. I'm just not sure which one.

Why does rose planting season have to coincide with bulb season?
Q
Comments (14)
Thanks for the compliments and, um, "sympathy" (smile). It's good to hear other GW friends admit to being crazy, Katie, and I happen to think it's a good kind of crazy. I mean, truly insane gardeners like us don't need to come inside when it starts raining either (like today). I'm glad (and surprised) that daffodils do well in the desert, though come to think of it a lot of bulbs evolved in high deserts in Turkey and such. You might try the low botanical tulips that are the size and timing of crocus, as they like it dry. You're right, Sharon, by this point I can just dig and replace the bulbs by now to plant the rest of the roses, but for me it doesn't really help fall planting. I just dig where I know not enough bulbs will survive, and again in the fall, if I dig up a bulb to plant another one I just replace it and move on. Carol, it sounds like we have a new convert to bulbs and roses, and Canada should be a good place to mingle those, as JJPeace can testify. Cadiarose, I do appreciate the work of keeping up with both obsessions, and I agree that if I had to choose I'd pick the roses. However, self-sustaining bulbs like crocus or daffodils don't really take any work once planted, and they can be at the back of the bed so you can forget about them once the roses start. Just a thought to maintain the insanity a little longer (smile).\ Cynthia

Sigh! I'm just adding one rose: HT Memoire.

Outta space . . . and energy, if the truth be told. I'll have to settle for keeping my current 70 roses in thriving condition and admiring all your new additions when you post pics here.

Pretty-much outta space, too, but somehow squeezed in a few. I just got mini-floras Daddy Frank and Butter Cream.

In February I have 3 larger roses coming:
Rock & Roll --grandiflora
Brigadoon --HT, this beauty I had 15 years ago; finally getting another.
Day Breaker --floribunda(?)

And I just got another oldie, Chicago Peace!

Eric and Masha, love the roses on your lists! I've just recently received bands of Charmian, SdlM, Leveson-Gower, Coquette de Blanches, Mme. Dore, Burbank and Catherine Mermet and will be receiving Oneto Home Saffron, Clair Matin, Miss Atkins and Leonie's Appoline in March. That will be it for me for the foreseeable future as I truly have no more room. 91 roses is almost more than I can handle but - I couldn't help myself! Sound familiar?

I'm running out of space too. But I always manage to squeeze them in somewhere!! LOL I had not intended to order this many, but I figure this is my definite last hurrah! Not only am I running out of room, I'm getting to where I can't handle the work involved in planting so many. The upkeep is also hard on my old weary aching bod!

Just 3 Twister mini climbing roses from Pickering. I don't know yet if my Maria Stern which is virused has made it through winter. If she doesn't then I'll have room for another one. Sigh... My yard is too small for much more. I have enough work anyway with all the perennials to care for too :)

I'm so jealous of these lists. I bought four roses for this season. I'll be shovel pruning a few old perennials to fit them in. I wish I had a bigger yard. :)
