More mystery roses from the Heritage Rose Garden

13 years ago

I've posted pictures of more mystery roses, and removed the pictures of those that were identified in the last round. Please have a look and see if you recognize any of them, or even make a guess. Some people have managed to make note on the album site, but others said they couldn't, so leave notes here if you can't leave notes by the pictures. Thanks for your help.

Jill, Is it possible that ""Unknown HP #65" is the rust-champ from the San Juan Bautista Cemetery?

I'm glad to see John S. DiBernardi is doing well. :-)
I've always liked him.

Jill,
The peach/yellow "Another Austin" towards the end of the album is almost certainly my hybrid Gallica 'Marianne', which Mel undoubtedly acquired from me. Unless of course it is remontant, in which case I'm wrong. (But I suspect I'm right) Does it have a strong fruity/powdery sweet fragrance?

Wondering if anyone in TX is planning to attend? I'm in the middle of a kitchen reno which is causing some priority conflicts :-) but at this point I am still going to try to go. Please let me know if you are going, I'd love to meet up.

Could you tell us on the rest of them which are mini's and which are bigger, and maybe something about the plant habit -- how tall it gets, i.e. if it's a climber?

Gingerbread and Hot Tamale are miniatures that I would consider based on your pics. I already have Rainbow's End (not that great as a 1st year) and Sweet Chariot (I love this rose and it actually has made it through 3 winter here in zone 3a (protected of course). Carol

San Jose Heritage Rose Garden visit; and, What rose is this?

Jill, thank you so much for your reply. That "Keith's B-N" is one beautiful little rose. I didn't find it on HMF--will it appear there? I assume it is not available at all (yet)? I can only imagine what it must feel like to discover an unknown old rose--and such a lovely, fragrant one, wow. I was very taken with General Schablikine, so #3 is probably him. I wasn't really intending to take photos, and I normally would have been more careful about snapping pix of the IDs, but I was so overwhelmed by the roses, also the heat!, and I just kept drifting around, often in circles, just drawn to the next beauty that caught my eye. There were some roses that I ended up visiting numerous times, zigzagging around the garden. I look forward to another visit and can't wait to see the spring bloom next year. Sheba

Jeri, I've got the rust champ, too, so I'll try to compare them, if I can catch them blooming at the same time.

Paul- Thank you! That explains why it's in the gallica section, and lack of rebloom would explain why I didn't notice it when I was doing inventory last fall. The database listed a dark gallica there. If Mel planted it in 2003 or 2004, that would explain why it wasn't entered in the database. Some things got missed between curators.
