Pink-Crimson-Mauve Old Roses for Raleigh?
Comments (4)I live in California near San Francisco, these roses stand out for me for disease resistance and beauty, and lack of fading. If any rose sounds good to you, you might ask someone who grows it locally if it is a no-spray candidate where you live. The only roses that I've grown that bloom nearly constantly are of the China or Old Garden Tea classes and since you're looking for a different form of bloom I've omitted those. I've listed roses that produce 3-4 bloom cycles each year, in our climate, (which is also the average bloom rate for Hybrid Teas, for comparison) and do not fade to white here in California when the temperatures get into the high 80's, all are grown in my no-spray garden, except for Arrilaga: 1. Blossomtime ( mid-1900's) a descendant of New Dawn which re-blooms far far better than N.D. in our region. Medium pink. Shapely blooms. sold as a climber but it can be grown as a self supporting shrub, of 5'+ by 6-7 feet wide, as it has a stocky growth habit when not supported. I have one in the front yard, grown that way. It is also very fragrant and floriferous. hortico.com sells it. 2. Arrilaga' has a good re-bloom rate for an H.P., it has large cabbage shaped blooms with a spiral in the center which makes for a very impressive bloom. On rootstock it can grow to be nearly six feet tall. here its' grown with an eastern exposure with afternoon shade, where it retains its light to medium pink hue. I've often stopped in my tracks to stand in wonder at its' beauty. 3. 'Glendora' a wonderful Portland/H.P. that has very pretty deep pink blooms with a strong scent. The blossoms never fade , and the plant has attractive foliage. I do wish the roses would not shatter so quickly on hot days, however. It's grown to be 5 and 1/2 feet tall with no support in my front yard. I've seen it grow to be taller than 6 feet in a local garden. 3. Grandmothers Hat' is a medium pink H.P. that fades to light pink in full sun in hot weather, here. It can be grown as a 5' shrub, which will cause it to re-bloom more often each year than when it is grown as a ten foot climber. Nice fragrance too. The color can fade a bit in hot weather, I suggest planting it where it will receive a couple hours of shade in the afternoon, to retain its color better. It is a wonderful rose, really special. I've seen several 5 and 1/2 tall 'Grandmothers Hat's planted in a row along a pathway, which makes for a very pretty landscape. I'm madly in love with 'Gloire des Rosomanes' a cherry red Bourbon with the lively white streaks of a China rose. It uplifts my heart whenever I see it. It does not have the typical cabbage or cupped bloom form of an H.P. or Bourbon, but is more blowsy like unto a China class rose but like a China it has a good re-bloom rate. I love its spicy scent. It has an attractive growth habit, c. 6 feet tall with a spread a bit wider. Never fades where I live. Best wishes finding a rose that you adore. Lux.

Comments (9)The blooms start out dark like the first picture and then lighten up. I bought Heirloom about a year ago and the flower color is different(warmer)from this mistery rose. I looked up Melody Parfumee and it looks a lot like my rose. Thanks...See MoreStarlet Beauty Mauve rose
Comments (12)Thanks everyone. Anu I will check the fragrance when I get home but my nose isn't the best sniffer sometimes. The little flowers at the bottom are annuals called Calibrochia. They look like mini petunias and bloom nonstop all summer and come in an array of colors. Sometimes they even return the next year. Desertgarden it's a rose from Ball Ornamentals. I think Patty or maybe Lisa started a thread last year about them and we were finally able to order from a vendor on EBay. They were tee tiny plants last year but has grown great. The pink ones name is Ava and adorable but hasn't bloomed yet. Anxious to see it perform this year. You should be able to see about them on the ball site. Now that I,think about it the pink Ava came from Cottage Farms. Tee tiny too. Judy...See MoreA purple/mauve member of the Rose family- Rubus odoratus
