What can you tell me about these roses I've never heard of?
Comments (23)I have Coquette des Blanches, Magenta and Taischa. CdB is a very beautiful rose. Not white as advertised though. More of a pale pink but as you can see from Jeri's pic that doesn't detract from the attractiveness of the bloom. Fragrance is sweet and pervasive. Now if you want pure white then plant Boule de Neige. Magenta and Taischa have both been disappointing. Each is on their forth year own root and have yet to top 1 foot. I'm not kidding. If I didn't know better I'd think they were miniatures. Magenta's flower are sort ho-hum for a mauve rose. I guess having REINE DES VIOLETTES has spoiled me. The dusky mauve color is rather "flat" in my opinion. As soon as I find the time she is getting replaced by PRETTY JESSICA. TAISCHA on-the-other-hand has flowers that make my jaw drop. They are so beautiful it is impossible to describe adequately but I shall try. Tightly quartered in the middle but with a starry outline in the outer petals, a flower formation that reminds me of some of the older Tea roses. Color is this gorgous shade of lilac. Yes real true "lilac", not mauve nor cool pink or lavender. I define lilac as an equal mix of clear pink and lavender. The fragrance is identical to Sterling Silver. Absolutely stratospheric in both strength and complexity. If she doesn't do better this summer then I'm going to move her to a pot so I can provide maximum coddling. Some roses have flowers that are so beautiful that they are worth diva treatment. Taischa is one of those roses. The picture in the link below is very true to the actual rose. The few flowers I've gotten from Taischa have looked just like the rose in the pic, but only about half the size. Here is a link that might be useful: TAISCHA at HelpMeFind Roses...See MoreDo you grow any of these and what can you tell me about them pls?
Comments (8)We grew "Lundy Lane" and I found it to be a very lovely mostly-yellow Pernetiana. Its' foliage is a very light-medium green, and very attractive. One caveat: of all the Pernetiana roses I've grown it suffered the most badly from blackspot. I have an organic rose garden and never sprayed it with anything other than Cornell. It continued to bloom c. 3 weeks later in Autumn than my other Pernetiana roses, which also endeared it to me. For comparison, these are healthier Pernetiana roses for our area, near Oakland, California. I never needed to spray theses with anything: "Duquesa de Penaranda" the healthiest of all Pernetiana roses in our area. The climbing form is fantastic!!! "Soliel d'Or" "President Herbert Hoover" the most fragrant of the Pernetiana roses to my nose. "Gruss an Coberg" "Mari Dot" a fabulous Dot rose but very small on her own roots, I'd love it on rootstock. Luxrosa...See MoreWhat can you tell me about HighCountryRoses?
Comments (6)Well, they are larger than bands that some vendors send. I received an order from them just before the Ashdown soil-less plants arrived, and they are all about the same size. My experience with their plants has been good. Cheers, Michelle...See MoreCan you tell me about Annapurna rose?
Comments (2)I've had Annapurna for about five years now in my zone 5 garden, it will give you nice lovely white blooms if it avoids a good soaking rain during the blooming time, if not then it will get the brown spots on it when the blooms finally open. It's not a heavy black spot magnet but it will get it during the course of the season, but I don't spray for black spot. So if you plan on spraying you might control it better. Re-bloom is often very good with this rose, there is usually a bloom or bud on it during most of the season. Although it is classified as a HT it usually gives sprays of four or more blooms then the single long stem blooms. Mine's in full sun so don't know how it will perform in shade. It usually gets about 3-4 feet high to 2 1/2 to 3 feet wide and mine's own root, hope that helps....See Morepaparoseman
