Plant A Red Rose For The Man In Your Life
Comments (26)Carol, bless your husband - we share the orange thing and the favorite rose. DH likes a lot of the roses - HIS roses are: Red Cascade. He planted two by the front door and promised to keep them whacked back so the door remains usable. This past fall he designed some enclosure thing for each one he thinks will contain them (after completely failing on the whacked back thing last summer). I'm waiting to see. In the interim, if you come to see us (please do), use the back door - its safer. The other roses he has purchased without my input are two Don Juan and a Black Cherry. He calls the space in the East Garden where I've planted Mister Lincoln, Firefighter and Veteran's Honor "the land of the jolly red giants" and is always talking about it. I'd say whether he knowns it or not, red is his thing. For you sophisticated red loving males - try the Buck - Prairie Clogger. Dark red fragrant single blooms that never quit. Digger - my Mirandy from Roses Unlimited is the bomb. Try one....See MoreSouvenir d'Alphonse Lavallee = Souvenir du Dr. Jamain?
Comments (10)I sure hope Beales Roses Sent Ashdown the right rose. I have a waiting list a mile long for people wanting to buy one of my plants. This fall I even bought 10 more plants from Germany, who delivered the correct plant 2 years ago. But the plants I got looked suspiciously more thorny than the right SDAL. So I have planted them in my cutting garden an will have to wait and see until they bloom whether they are the correct one. At least I have my mother plants that I know for sure are the right plants. I propagated 30 more this fall from them and sent budwood to 3 vendors here in Europe, one of them being the dutch Nursery. Plants from my clone will be sent to Ashdown from them. I really look forward seen pictures of the Rose Ashdown has now to see if it is the right SDAL. Also would be nice to see pictures of palnts from Vintage. When your rose blooms Lori Please take pictures and post them. This way I can se what you grow (Hopefully). I must say my trust in people selling the right rose is small. After I have seen so many vendors over here selling SdDJ or Erinnerung a Brod as SDAL. I wonder how these 3 roses got so mixed up? Well sometimes the roses get mislabeled during the budding, or even mixed up. Othertimes they have the wrong rose but think they have the right and sell it under a wrong name. Like I mentioned in the other thread ,many post pictures on HMF, thinking they have the right rose (Well we bought as SDAL from a reputable vendor) they might say. But well... Stefan: I will send Hybrida and Lykkefund To Asdown when I get the import stickers. Or I will send them to Holland so they can be shipped as cuttings during the summer. One way or the other it will get there. It really is sad that we can not just send plants to each other. That would make things so much more simple. But quarantine measures is there for a reason. I sure is cautious about bring home plants with any soil back home here. What if I was responsible for introducing scales or JBs here!!!...See MoreSouvenir du Dr. Jamain
Comments (23)I'm sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just inherited this rose from a friend and am looking for a good place to plant it. It has been planted in her garden for several years now, but in a position with poor soil (sandy) and a lot of shade. So much shade that is has never bloomed. It is healthy enough, but the canes are thin and only about 3 ft tall. I'd like to put it in a place where it gets some shade but not too much, and a place where I can enjoy the fragrance. I have a prominent spot in mind but ... Descriptions of this rose online say that it gets to be about 3 ft wide, and maybe 8-10 tall. Would you say this is accurate? I can grow it as a small climber against a Gazebo so I would prefer it to go up rather than out :) Will it only bloom at the tips this way, or will it bloom all the way up the cane? Can I allow it to grow straight up, or should I try to train the canes along the gazebo horizontally to encourage more flowering along the length? Some roses seem to need this treatment considerably more than others. Also, the colour is always difficult to tell online. It would be planted next to (very close to) a Clematis "Niobe" which is a beautiful dark red. I know there wouldn't be much contrast in colours but I thought the Clematis could fill in some of the bloom when the rose isn't blooming? Do you think that would work? Is the growth habit of the rose very dense, or is it spacious enough to allow a clematis to grow amongst it? Do you think the two colour would go well together, or would they clash? I can't tell the true colour of Souv Du Dr Jamain in internet photos ... I don't want the two "reds" to clash and look awful together. Any advice would be appreciated! I have to get this rose into the ground fairly soon so if this spot won't work, I'll have to try to find another....See MoreAustin Reds - Comparatively Speaking
Comments (21)"Rick, are you saying U.S. roses can't be taken across the border into Canada?" Kate and Carol; you can import roses from the U.S., but an international phytosanitary certificate is required for the shipment. Currently, only Rogue Valley Roses and David Austin Roses USA will ship to Canada. I have contacted both Heirloom Roses and Roses Unlimited and neither are willing to ship roses to Canada. It is a lot of work and hassle and then shipments sometimes experience delays at the border that have cost me young plants in the past. I suspect that the extra work and effort required is prohibitively costly for small nurseries who may only get a few export orders a year. I did import eight roses from RVR this spring, seven survived and are doing well in my nursery bed. But RVR doesn't carry Braveheart. There are far more European nurseries that will ship to Canada, or the U.S. for that matter, than American nurseries who will export. The Europeans are more accustomed to shipping across borders in the E.U. But both an import permit and phyto are required for import of roses from the E.U. and it is costly and risky both....See Morestefanb8
