Early Oriental Yellows (Hugonis pictures)

16 years ago

r Hugonis (Father Hugo's Rose) is another wonderful oriental yellow. It is so charming in real life. Got some trimming by deer, but still looks good. Beautifull flowers will be followed by beautiful small red hips. Never a spec of desease.

So beautiful! I love it. Does it have a weeping form? Could you possibly post a pic of the whole rose?

Yes, my hugonis has weeping form, but I grew another one in the past which was upright. My current one is own root and the other was grafted. I don't know if this can be a reason for different growth habit, or there are differents clones around. I don't have a full bush picture right now and it is already dark outside :(

Olga didn't tell you that primula has scented leaves. The new leaves, on moist warm days, are scented of Old Spice. And it has those wing thorns. The new thorns are ruby-red and perfect triangles. The setting sun sets the new canes alight with red droplets of color. Olga, there's a primula at the MN Landscape Arboretum that's at least twenty feet wide and ten tall. In bloom, its a-buzz with humming bees. A rose that sings. I love this plant! Lovely pictures I have primula and a new 'Canary Bird' sitting in a pot.

Thank you My hugonis is on the corner next to a fairly busy road. Deer avoid it because it is too close to the habitat of their fiercest enemy, the F-150. However, there is an enormous R. cantabrigiensis nearby that is accessible in a garden where other roses are carefully fenced in. It's the size of a one-car garage. So it doesn't look like they are favorites, but if they get a chance to mature, the deer won't be able to reach most of them due to sheer size. I must warn you, though, it isn't an easy rose to root. Tree peonies may last two weeks here if we don't get a heat wave. They are planted on the south side of a big oak tree, so they get morning and afternoon sun, but are shaded midday. I have two kinds of lilacs. Syringa vulgaris, the old fashioned usual kind, which were here when we bought the house. And Syringa microphila, which is next to the driveway. Unlike most of the roses, this one sometimes repeats.

Linda, I tend to plant lilies in the middle of stuff. Single lilies will tend to multiply, so they aren't alone for long. What works for me is to plant them among companions that will be tall when the early blooming lilies are finishing up just standing there being green stalks with skinny leaves. Mexican bush sage is my very fav, and Pineapple sage works well, too. Right now I have yellow lilies among blackeyed susans -- Salvia leucanthemum following the BSEs because they don't last until fall. Acidanthera among the S. leucanthemum for fall bloom doesn't show up yet, shorter than the others. These lilies are at the opposite end of the 'fence' of found wood that I made to support some lanky trumpet lilies that are not blooming yet. Not a stunning composition, but shows what can go together, lilies, daylilies and echinacea. They need some salvias or other companions to come on up and hide the lilies in late summer and fall. For next year, I'm planning darker pink with echinacea and orange lilies among gaillardia. Other companions, too, but that's it for right this minute. I'm thinking about candlestick plants (senna) to hide lily foliage; have to see how my candlesticks from seed turn out this year. Right now they're only a few inches tall. Nell

Blooms Affected by Early Bloom Season
Q
Comments (10)
Mine are doing some of the same- I've been blaming it on the lack of rain but we did have the early heat and now cooler weather. Blooms are lower than usual, including asian and oriental lilies, some are blooming weird-never fully open and I have one yesterday where the entire flower looked fine except for one mushy ugly petal. It looked like the one petal had bloomed the day earlier than the rest and was dying back while the rest of the flower was fine. Flowers that I have had for quite awhile are shorter than usual and smaller blooms, colors on what few have bloomed not as bright as last year. It's still early bloom season, so I don't have many blooming yet-but they aren't at their best.

I would love to see a shot of the full plant, too. The blooms are so pretty. I have a small one blooming in the coldframe, it needs to go into the ground this year. :-)

Cheers,

How beautiful. Thank you, Olga, for sharing these beautiful pictures of such beautiful roses. You really have captured the essence of its beauty, the architectural form, the simply clean bloom, the lovely color of its canes.

Olga,

These early yellows are lovely. I look forward to them blooming in my yard. So far, I have Canary Bird, R. primula, R. hugonis, and R. cantabrigiensis. I also have wingthorn rose and Harrison's Yellow, which are similar. Am I missing any "Must Haves?"

Olga, your yellow's are always a treat! I was very inspired by you maybe 2 years back, and I got a R. Hugonis from Pickering, sadly it did not make it. I guess our little drought did it in. Not sure, but thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures, I enjoy them so much every year!

Jenn, what works for me with these early oriental roses from Pickering or Hortico is fall planting. Really they are much happier this way then when they are planted in spring.

Olga,
Thanks again for the photos and the inspiration. I have a question that concerns siting. I planted my young R. hugonis close to a willow in a fairly moist, cool spot (by the standards of my garden). I have other roses in this area: once-blooming old roses, Hybrid Musks, and others, and their growth ranges from surviving to thriving. The R. hugonis did okay until last fall/winter when something dug underneath it. I refilled the hole but the plant is almost dead and isn't picking up again. So I'll have to get a new plant; I just wanted to know whether the conditions--relatively cool, moist, shady--are good for the rose? I would never plant a Tea rose there, for examply, but the Gallicas and 'Louise Odier' nearby look very good.
Thanks!

Melissa,
Thank you. I have my hugonis in approx half day sun and dry area, so not sure. However my Canary Bird is in the area that in summer months gets approx 3 hours of sun at the best. It gets a little more sun when trees have no leaves. This area is also a low part of my garden, relatively cool and moist. In a way it is similar situation to your garden. I grow some gallicas and lilacs there. Canary Bird looks happy in this area, so probably hugonis should be fine too.

Someday I am going to have to at least try this rose. I think it is beautiful with its soft yellow blooms and the small green foliage. I just need to figure out a space large enough for it! Your photo's are wonderful, Olga.

Hi Olga,

Can you please tell me - does Hugonis sucker? Is it a thicket-builder?

I have a line of fence near the old veggie garden that is empty, and there is plenty of room. However, I would rather not plant things that will walk into the veggie garden of their own accord. :-) We are trying to rejuvenate the garden, and just put in the start of an arched gate. Hugo and some clematis could be a great pair by the gate.

Thanks!

Here's a picture of a mature bush. A lot of it has flopped over. When not in flower it is more upright. The part on the right is about 6' and this is zone 4. The red canes to the left are 'Kakwa' which has not flowered yet.

Olga,
Thanks! That's rather what I thought, but I wanted to check with someone who's grown it successfully. I am really looking forward to getting this rose AND getting it established.
