Comments (3)Sylvia while I can't help you identify your rose other than a wild guess of Mr. Lincoln. I would suggest contacting your local American Rose Society they have consulting rosarians that would be happy to come out and look at your rose. They could also suggest how best to prune and fertilize it. the other alternative is you wanna take a, wack at it yourself, is to cut out the three D's ,as Baldo likes to say, remove; dead, diseased and damaged canes. Damaged canes are often damaged because they are rubbing against another cane so removing one will help open up the plant, and in doing so will likely improve and invigorate the rose. Those are the basics but practically every rose book out there will further explain how to properly prune a rose bush there are also a number of helpful you tube videos specifically on pruning....See MoreFound this on the Web - Australian Rose Gardens..
Comments (12)Oh Diane, I am pleased you like the books. I didn't even know there was a third. I'm sure you will adore Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim, if you can get hold of it. I had to get a kindle (I know you're not keen on the idea, and neither was I, till I got one) just for it, and got her collected works for $1! Am loving them all. One, The Solitary Summer, is an especially good read for gardeners, as it takes the form of a year in her garden, and is simply delightful. She grew, and adored, old roses, what's more! The fires were put out shortly after I got there. I went on a Bridge holiday - I'm a mad keen player. It was held in an old home that had been practically rebuilt after being burnt down in the last major fire in that area - in the 80's, I think. The excursions were to wineries, and I would have so much rather gone to see gardens. If I'd only known...........See MoreFound this white Rose- Lamarque or some other white rose?
Comments (7)The buds are very rounded, but the smaller ones are pointed. I shoved some in a bowl as I was playing Morticia Addams making some cutting to try and root. I does look very much like the rose you fond in Sonoma, catspa, except there is no red in the growth and the buds and flowers have glandular prickle like structures, but maybe it hasn't put forth much new growth. It is highly neglected but the foliage is healthy and hearty! I like that it may be an Alba, it really does look like most of the photos, especially the second and last photos which do not show the new red growth. I knew I could count on you experts! It really is white, which made me wonder after looking at more photos, no yellowish center. A fun find! I found it at the Oddfellows Cemetery in Anderson....See Morehoovb zone 9 sunset 23
