Tea and Noisette roses from Roses Unlimited
Comments (2)Lux, I have the first four of the roses on your list. These teas are new to me, but I've had Belle Vichysoise for some time. I believe that Souv. de FG is one that really took off in my yard last year with considerable neglect. I'll have to wait until the snow goes away so I can check the label again. Duchesse d'Albe is still a twiglet in another tough spot in a beaver's path...need I say more? CfH did not want to take off for me, so I dug her up, and potted her back up and am trying to get her bigger/stronger before I plant her again. Now, Belle Vichysoise is one of my best bush/cluster flower-type noisettes. She is growing as I expect it should. She blooms quite often, and she produces some hips which I really like. She's about 6ftx5ft but I'm trying to contain her to a rebar tripod. She seems relatively healthy in my no spray BS garden. I don't recall the fragrance, so it may not have overwhelmed me. Beauty? That's so personal. I would grow her for her hips alone. Robert...See MoreAAAGH! Peace Hybrid Tea Rose has no fragrance?
Comments (49)Hi, just wanted to be sure to thank everyone!!! for their time and thoughtfulness about alternate roses, vendors, etc. Curlydoc thanks very much for the extra effort and for your Hortico pics... If I was an experienced gardener, I'd rush out and get the Hortico, but am thinking that because I am a first-time gardener I really need to make sure I can do a decent job with my 2 tree roses, the 2 Lincolns and the 2 Special Occasion first so indeed 2010 I will be making a full blast to 3! Sutter's Gold roses to add to the collection for next year... Roses Unlimited says that indeed they can hold the order and since I have heard so many terrific things about them, I will go ahead and wait for the 3. If Special Occasion does indeed flourish I will update everyone on what I think about the fragrance. According to Heirloom rose and a few other American growers it is "one of the most fragrant hybrid teas" but a bit too belatedly I found some U.K. sites that only listed it as moderate so we shall wait and see. It's a Fryer rose......See MoreWhat Kind of Rose for Rose Hip Jelly/Tea?
Comments (13)Does Rosa virginiana produce hips worth using? Oh, and the York Rose, Rosa x alba semi-plena produces hips that could be used. Its white is tinged with peach-pink, so it looks more milky white than pure white, but it's lovely in bloom! Some people don't care for the colors of Rosa rugosa's later flowers against the color of the ripening hips. If you're sensitive to such things you'll have to consider whether you like the idea of scarlet/tomato red hips adorned with lavender-pink roses. If the idea of that color pair bothers you, go with Rosa rugosa alba. Then you'll have scarlet against pure white....See MoreFragrance Roses mix up with Tea
