Hope these help, these are CPM, just went out and took them for you, set 6 out bare root, own root, about a month ago. It's a mess around them because I'm waiting to get my tiller out of the shop so I can cultivate and set in some fill in plants I have waiting, then more mulch. I need to prune off a couple places and give them a half dose of fertilizer when I pick it up this weekend.

As you can see, the leaves are a little glossy but may go matte as they mature, and the new growth is reddish.

I hope they will do better in time, they were healthy but just sticks sticking up when I planted them. That kind of work is hard for me, but I tried to do it right except could have mixed more compost in the backfill. Only one doesn't look too good, hope it comes round, may have planted a couple too deep, not sure.

I love Teasing Georgia but don't think it is for my zone. Will check on that.

hi aliska,

thank you for getting me the photos, just wanted to make sure what i have is CPM.You said you have a own root CPM plant,do they strike easily from cuttings?

your plants look like they are taking off, and good luck with your gardening.My garden also looks a bit like yours at the moment with baby DA's. Don't mind seeing pictures after you put other plants around it.

Karima,

For me, Teasing Georgia's leaves are a more yellowish green whereas Crown Princess Margareta's are more deep green with a bit of maroon/red. My CPM looks like the ones in the pics. I hope this helps.

If i had any doubts about my CPM, you completely cleared it.Thank you Robert and thank you again for the photos aliska.
You guys have been really helpful. And i love this forum.

Everytime I see this thread, I want to make margaritas.

karima, sorry got busy on the hosta forum and missed the responses. It should root very easily from cuttings, but I need to check if it is patented. That's all I'll say publicly, don't need any more now unless I lose one. My plants came from Jackson and Perkins, first from them for roses, and I think they sent me quality plants but roots not so huge that I had to dig bigger holes than I did. Can't wait to see if they'll start shooting up some basals. Doubt they will sucker.

My tiller is still in the shop, and it's looking worse out there every day. I strained my back clearing and planting hostas on my terrace and have to take it easy, today seems better. Otherwise I'd just start whacking w/my hand weeding/cultivating tools out there, very frustrating.

If I get anything worth looking at, I'll post photos when it's going better. Doggone sawfly got a bunch of my roses already before I had a chance to apply the Bayer, kind of afraid to work with it and have to measure with something that will never be used for food, etc., etc., plus you're supposed to cover all your skin except neck/face, and my sprinkling can leaks. I wasn't going to use it on those new CPM's this year, but as many of my other roses as I could manage. And I dread doing it. I'm noticing that my roses with leaves that tend to be shiny are clean so far so maybe there is a clue there.

I've got some lace handkerchief iris waiting, some cerastium?, purple perennial veronica or sage, 3 once bloomers I rooted for the ends, and oh some pretty Color Parade asian lilies which I'm not sure how to work in to make it look like it's just not slopped together. I spaced the plants 5' apart exactly because I had hoped to do something like Robert in VA has done with his Mottisfont? design, but help is hard to come by and can't set posts myself or attach rebar arches. Then when I do find help, I have to prioritize and only ask done what I absolutely cannot do myself.

I've got winter sowed catmint, rudbeckia, crazy daisy, white foxglove, to mix in there, the foxg & crazy d may go to fill in the front. That's the part I'm not so good at, design. If those do well and look right, then just other fill in type things as the mood or ideas strike me, may use some annuals this year but prefer to keep it all perennials or self seeders.

I've gone nutso over Teasing Georgia, but I am simply out of sunny spots without chopping up more lawn which will make my yard too patchy & more work.

thank you aliska, looks like you've got everything planned.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about annuals and perennials, yet to learn. At the moment my garden beds are mostly just roses.

At one stage, I was thinking of getting TG or CPM and ended up getting the latter.And chopping up the lawn is not an option for me any more, my husband doesn't like it although he likes what i have done so far with the garden.

I could have been happy with either, but had admired one folks here helped me ID as CPM so went with that. I've got a thing for yellow roses, but have 2 Charlotte and 1 Graham Thomas, but also have other colors mixed in there.

Keeping peace in the family trumps more roses I think. Maybe in time . . .one can still dream I think, no harm in that.
