Favorite Striped/ Freckled/ Stippled/ Striated Roses

9 years ago

Which striped roses do you grow or wish you could grow? I don't grow any (yet), but I'm a sucker for almost all the old striped roses. Just hearing the word 'panachÃ¯Â¿Â½e' makes me swoon a bit.

I'd love to see your photos, if you have 'em...

Also, if you have any recommendations for old or old-looking striped roses that might do well in my hot and muggy area of the Southeast, I'm all ears... 'Mme Driout'? 'Vick's Caprice'? 'Variegata di Bologna'? 'Ferdinand Pichard'? I know those gorgeous Gallicas are off-limits here, alas!

Thanks,
Virginia

Virginia, I am so glad you started this thread. Thank you! Everyone's responses are very interesting and helpful -- and the pictures are so wonderful!

I added a picture of my Honorine de Brabant too -- to show you something of her shape at her next stage. (I planted this rose as a band from RVR last spring.) And if you look around on the forum, I think Seil has posted some pictures of her mature Honorine that show the entire bush.

Gean, this was the first year for my Georges Vibert bloom too. I've been working on it for three years, four years? It was among the last of the roses to bloom this spring and definitely the very last Gallica. I didn't notice if it had the button eye but I will look for it next year.

So glad to hear that Carol had success with Purple Tiger. I passed it by earlier this year since I had read that it was finicky and I figured I could add those picky roses later. :)

Thanks again, Virginia. Great thread! (We can all tell by the thoughtfulness of your posts and the care you put it into them, that your garden is already something to behold. So post some pictures when you can, even if you can't feature roses yet.)

Hi, Virginia. I love old striped roses too and look forward to seeing what others suggest. I have all the roses you listed, added to my garden either last year or this year. You might add Rainbow to your list. I bought one this year from Roses Unlimited. If you have a big corner to be filled, there is Honorine de Brabant.

I am in zone 7b and Gallicas do extremely well for me. 8b is a different story, I know, but if I were in your shoes and hadn't tried them yet, I would try one or two just to be sure that I couldn't grow them.

Here is a picture of my Georges Vibert. (From Vintage Gardens. It looks a bit different from some of the other Georges Viberts on HMF.)

Virginia,
I just grow two, both gallicas, but would like to have the Portland, Panachee de Lyon sometime. I grew Smith's Parish once upon a time and enjoyed the variability. There's a Red Smith's Parish that looks interesting, too. One of these days I'm going to get Ralph Moore's Stars 'n Stripes.

Sidos, does your GV have a button eye before the stamens develop? This is the first time mine will have bloomed, so I am not sure what to expect. You can see it's not quite opened yet, either.

Favoriter red or white roses?

oh, white roses - my favourites. How to choose though. Would have to start with the fabulous Nevada - like a stately galleon, sailing across the grass/weed patch. Like Mariannese, i must put in a vote for the charming double white. As a rule, single roses have always stole my heart but these dainty cupped blossoms, alomg with the delicious ferny leaves, fit brilliantly amongst the untidy vegetable profusion of the allotment. Because I have many timber supports in the raised beds (there are currently 23 of these beds) I grow more climbers and ramblers than shrubs or bushes. Much as I would like great swathes of Wedding Day, Seagull et al, I have to be content with just a couple of large white roses so have chosen R.soulieana, R.helenae and the gorgeously fragrant, if a tad touchy in the famously nippy easterly winds, Nastarana. Finally, another vote for a Pemberton classic, Moonlight. One of his earliest and imo, one of his best hybrid musks. It is still throwing out bloom clusters, arching out and up, entangling with an unruly Snowgoose (a surprise Austin addition to the list) Red......hmmm, not my fave colour although a 10 year old moyesii is truly fabulous, underplanted with stooled purple filberts and an equally vivid tanacetum - yay. I do not have Souv.de Dr.Jamain although I have planted several for customers. A lovely rose but Etoile d'Hollande is still my favourite velvet red. Lastly, a simple 'cottagey' rose I do have is Paul's Scarlet climber - always fresh, bright and easier to site in a rambling allotment, than most reds (which always seem more formal and 'grown up' for my garden style).

In all these years I still find it amazing how different rose can be for every one. Can add a couple. Folksinger own root grew and flowered beautifully here. She mildewed some awful thou and was shovel pruned. Quietness own root was very healthy. Had good flowering and strong scent. I moved it after a few years and that plant had an enormous root system. Rather like that of a large shrub that been in the ground for eons. Light pink is not my favorite color. So since she was a Jb favorite. I eventually got rid of it. Distant Drums if I remember correctly was own root. Got lots of black spot and not vigorous. Read as thin canes and short. Shovel prune in 3rd year. I'm trying 2 more this year Prairie Sunrise and Carefree Beauty. Really counting on these two maybe a pep rally when they come.

I have about 25 Buck roses at the moment, and a good 10 of them stand out so far as having a notable presence for me. Quite a few of them are too new to be blooming much and some have not been hardy for me, which is surprising because they were bred next door in Iowa. I'll show my favorites and comment on some of the others. I agree that Folksinger is awesome, even if the blooms to fade to cream once the summer sun gets hot. It can be a lovely soft apricot color, and it reliably bushes out well. It also survives and blooms well in my zone 4 pocket, which has only the tough survivors. Prairie Sunrise is another keeper that is usually a little more reliably apricot. It also blooms in part shade in my zone 4 pocket on the north side of my house, and it's a good bushy rebloomer. Not quite as enthusiastic a rebloom as Folksinger, but more intriguing color variations like the vivid color in the photo below. Prairie Sunset is nice but doesn't bloom as often and tends more toward hot pink with a little coral tinge. It's also not quite as double as Prairie Sunrise To round out the Prairie series of very hardy Bucks, Prairie Princess is almost always cane hardy and it is huge, flopping over a 5' fence like you can see in the photo below. Mine isn't quite a once bloomer since I get sporadic blooms a little in June and July, but the main flush is at the end of May for me. I don't find it makes as much of a statement as I'd like, since the bloom is spread out over the large bush. Still, it's a nice back of the border bush. I should try pruning it back hard after bloom and seeing if it would come back stronger like Variegata di Bologna. It's a fairly generic pink bloom that's only semidouble, so it's in the profusion of bloom that it has its impact. Of course Earth Song is fabulous when it has surviving cane, and it usually has at least some, but it doesn't come back quickly from being pruned to the ground (and mine is about 8 years old). The blooms can be huge and a vivid hot pink, and it's among the larger Buck roses at 5-6' feet. I agree that Honeysweet is a way underappreciated Buck rose and it's highly variable and intriguing in color. Not a ton of blooms at any given time - not more than 3-4 blooms at a time on a modest bush, but I find it is eyecatching in the color and presence. It's pretty hardy for me and stays compact. When it fades it gets a more generic pale pink, but the flowers tend to be huge. Winter Sunset makes a nice counterpart near Honeysweet, and it is also nicely changeable in color. It can be gold, blush apricot, coral, or pinkish, though rarely as vivid as Honeysweet can get. Here is is in an apricot sherbet mood. Paloma Blanca is a very nice double white that is also mostly cane hardy in my zone 4 pocket. It can put out nice bushy clusters and repeats reasonably well, though the edges crisp like a lot of whites do in the summer. It's one of my more reliable fully double white roses. It is definitely a pure icy white rather than mucky cream. Another that doesn't get much appreciation is Pearlie Mae. Mine chugged along for about 6 years in my zone 4 pocket, but it struggled to come back quickly enough after the winters and really prefers to be a zone 5 or better rose. The colors can be terrific with those dark reverse colors that Bucks can get. I also like that it's named for Minnie Pearl. Barn Dance has been pretty reasonably hardy in my zone 4 pocket and it's a general hot pink bloom. Not a bloom to set my heart pitter patter, but anything that will survive and bloom well in zone 4 gets a positive vote from me. I also love the color variations of Dorcas and Freckles, and both have been pretty hardy for me (Freckles even to zone 4), though I lost Dorcas through gardener error and am replacing her this year. My roses look pretty much like Beth's (well, not as good a photo as hers but that goes without saying). I wish all those lovely stippled Buck roses were hardier for me, or had more surviving cane from the winter. Several of them I've had to move into a protected zone, and the following have failed at least once to survive a zone 5 winter, though they seem to be OK this year: Gee Whiz, Malaguena, Spanish Rhapsody, and September Song. Sadly, Incredible doesn't seem to be hardy, but I'm going to try a really protected spot. I haven't been able to overwinter on several tries the following Buck roses, some of whom I've tried in zone 6 spots: El Catala, Calico Gal, Iobelle. Several weren't hardy in a standard zone 5 spot but might be OK in my protected zone 6 areas: Golden Princess, Enchanted Autumn, Serendipity, Sevilliana, Musicale, Allamande Ho, Gee Whiz. I can attest that the following Bucks aren't hardy to zone 4, but I am trying them again in a more normal zone 5 spot: Aunt Honey, Frontier Twirl, Hawkeye Belle, Mary Susan, September Song, Prairie Star, Cinnamon Spice. Country Dancer survived several years in part sun but finally faded and I haven't been excited enough about it to replace it yet - in that location it was a sparse bloomer, but it's probably not the rose's fault. Prairie Breeze didn't come back from one winter, but given the part sun spot it was in I'm not prepared to say it's not hardy for me yet in a normal reasonably sunny spot. The only Buck that I actually dislike is Mountain Music. I expected to like it from the hmf photos, but mine was a monster gangly bush that barely bloomed once in prime location with scruffy barely semidouble blooms. It was reasonably hardy, so I dug it up and moved it to a tough part shade spot where other roses wouldn't grow, so it won't bug me there. It didn't quite get shovel pruned, but it definitely got demoted. No clues about fragrance on any of these, being sadly deficient in the schnozz department myself, but I would grow Bucks for the color and bushiness rather than the scent anyway. Cynthia

Wow. Just- wow.

So beautiful, and I am sorely tempted by the prospect of Gallicas... Even though I know that there are zone-8 Gallica growers in the PNW, it hadn't occurred to me that our warm winters would supply enough chill hours. Perhaps there are some varieties/hybrids that might work?

Howsomever, I'm just getting started with roses, and really would like to have some small successes before I start in with anything chancy. If I had more money and more rose-growing experience, I might try it, but for now, I'll just love from afar...

I tried ordering 'Rainbow' from RU when they had their sale, but they were already sold out. The roses I did order (3 Teas and a Noisette) are the first roses I've ever ordered, so you see that I am a genuine newcomer to roses.

Thanks for sharing your Georges Vibert- what a handsome rose he is!

harborrose, those are exquisite.

I had not heard of 'PanachÃÂ©e de Lyon' before, but I took a quick look at the HMF photos, and can see why it's on your wish list. I have no idea if Portlands are heat-tolerant enough for my area, but I can add it to my wish list, too, even if I never add it to an actual shopping list.

I've admired Smith's Parish before, but hadn't twigged that it was a "Bermuda Rose" until I just looked it up again. Bermuda is almost due west of here, and I think their growing conditions are quite similar to ours. Both are nice-looking roses with those splashes of color- I wouldn't say no to either of 'em.

I do like 'Stars'n'Stripes' also. There's also a sasanqua camellia by that name with stripey flowers that I've had my eye on for a while... they look a bit alike.

Thanks for sharing your 'GV' and 'RM'- they really are beautiful.

If you're not ruling out more modern roses, Careless Love (& all the other Radiance clan) did very well for me on the muggy Tx gulf coast.

Mme. Driout, too, though I've read a lot of criticism of it here re. disease. (I didn't do any fungicide/pesticide spraying).

And Fourth of July was a vigorous, healthy, free blooming rose there also.

So nice to talk to you! I wanted to tell you I sent 'Betty' down to Kippy in Santa Barbara; I think it finally bloomed down there for her.

I have four -- 'Georges Vibert' and 'Tricolore de Flandre' (both Gallicas from Vintage Gardens), 'Honorine de Brabant' (Bourbon from Long Ago Roses) and 'Ferdinand Pichard' (Hybrid Perpetual, also from Long Ago Roses).

I don't have many pics, and what I do have aren't the best. The way the weather came in this season, the Gallicas were among the last to start blooming -- then came a few really hot days, and they were done in a couple weeks.

One bloom on 'Georges Vibert' that was rather pale, and on the small side, but still very fragrant.

{{gwi:264559}}

First bloom on 'Honorine de Brabant'.

{{gwi:264510}}

And a week later, a bunch more on 'Honorine de Brabant' opened.

{{gwi:264561}}

I seem to have forgotten to take pics of 'Tricolore de Flandre' (which might already be done by now) and 'Ferdinand Pichard' (I'll have to wait for the next round -- this rose is still tiny, and I saw only three so far this year).

bluegirl, I like all the roses you mentioned, although 'Careless Love' is the only rose I think I've heard of from the Radiance Clan? I'll have to look into those roses, if they are as easy to grow as reputed.

If you're on the Gulf Coast, and 'Mme Driout' did fine for you with no spraying, that's encouraging. No rose can thrive everywhere, but your climate is fairly similar to ours, so that's something to go on... I like the photos I've seen, but suspect she's even prettier 'in person'.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Christopher, you must be a mind-reader. I've been wondering about what 'Honorine' really looks like since most photos I've seen just show that cup-shaped emerging bloom. Nice, but I'm glad to see what her flowers look like opened up, and also to see what the plant itself looks like, even though she's still young,

I like all of the roses you mentioned, and am not just envious of your Gallicas, but of your garden planning abilities. Looking at your garden-in-progress photos ought to be inspiring (and it is), but I completely lack that talent for seeing where things should go that you obviously have in spades.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to transform our yard into a garden, but maybe I can eventually be the neighborhood's 'Crazy Plant Lady' that everyone kinda laughs at, but wants to get plants from? I could have worse goals in life, I suppose...

Thanks for the pix,

Virginia, I grow Camaieaux and Rosa Mundi, but I used to grow a modern floribunda called Purple Tiger. It grew really well in my last (no spray) garden. Maybe it would perform well in yours, too?

I am currently casing Labrea's garden and planning a break-in and relocation of Commandante Beaurepaire and Variegata di Bologna to my garden. Just kidding...sort of.

I ordered Rainbow from RVR. She had a bud before I left for the weekend and hope I did not miss it. I will check today.

Gean, Betty is slowly gaining some growth, but slowly is the word. She put up one nice little cane and is starting on some more leaves. I put her near Rainbow, guess we will see just how that color combo comes out. But it will probably be a couple of years before Betty has enough to let bloom.

Carol, I love the looks of both 'Camaieaux' and 'Rosa Mundi'. I'm glad you can grow them even if I can't.

I've seen photos of 'Purple Tiger' and I like it, but if it might be finicky, it's not for me. I only have a few sunny spots for roses and limited funds, so I need to not only love whatever I plant, but I also need to feel that its odds of survival here are pretty good.

I've learned (from reading detective novels, of course) that it's usually not a good idea to advertise your criminal intentions in a public forum. What always seems to happen is that someone who hears of your intentions (someone like me, for example) will decide that they can get to the roses before you can, remove them and let you take the blame... And somehow they'll be able to arrange the theft for a time you haven't got much of an alibi.

I've been told that 'VdB' probably won't do well in my area, and I am dubious that the 'Commandant' would cooperate either, so I think you should obtain both of them through legitimate means, and post photos- or at least progress reports- so that I can enjoy them vicariously... It's all about me!

Thanks,
Virginia

Variagata di Bologna resides in a 5 gallon pot in my yard. I believe it is finally beginning to create a bud because I moved it to a sunnier side of my yard. It is my only striped etc. rose. It has been a slow grower, with no blooms thus far, so I am really excited to see what appears. I have often wondered if I should have purchased Honorine de Brabant instead of it.

My favorite, is Commandant Beaurepaire.

In my last post, I asked to be excused for any typo's since my keyboard was dying- now I'd like to be excused as I get accustomed to my new keyboard. ;>)

Sidos-House, thanks for giving me a better idea of what 'Honorine' looks like as a growing plant, not just as a pretty flower or as a lovely youngster. At first I wrote 'as a grown plant', then remembered you just planted her last year- she sure looks happy and well-cared-for!

I like the looks of her more than I did before you and Christopher shared your photos. Of course, I figured she must have more going for her than just a pretty face or she wouldn't be such a popular ol' gal.

And I appreciate your kind suppositions about my gardening abilities, but I am fairly new to this 'yarden', and even newer to gardening in any sort of serious way. I have many, many plants in pots about the yard, and am gradually getting some of the larger plants into the ground, but probably not where someone with a clue about garden design would put them!

Since I am on a budget, most of my plants are rescues, or grown from seed, or gifts from my gardening mentor who has quite a few 'extra' plants to share with me.

So, I'm making some progress with learning about how to grow plants, and which plants are happy here, but I'm not sure if I'll ever develop an eye for garden design. I'm sorta hoping that if I get enough nice plants scattered about that it will look more and more like a garden than just a yard with lots of trees.

Geez- I get a new keyboard, and I write a novel. And not a very exciting one, either...

Thanks again,

vmr423, There a number of striped HTs around which us cold zoners really can't grow. Most are sports of other HTs.

Some are 'Careless Love' of the 'Radiance' clan.

'Candy Stripe', sport of the excellent 'Pink Peace'.

"Modern Times', sport of 'Better Times'.

Then there are also the fabulous "Red Intuition" and its' sport, 'Pink Intuition'. And, I believe the much lusted after 'Stranger' has now been picked up by one of the nurseries which supply plants for gardeners who like to exhibit.. Sam Kedem, maybe.

My favorite striped rose is Ralph Moore's 'Shadow Dancer'.

'Charlotte Armstrong' produced a striped sport, I think it might be called 'Banner'.

Is the striping on some of these striped roses due to virus like the Rembrandt tulips. And if so, which roses are so affected/afflicted?

Cath
AquaEyes 7a NJ
9 years ago
There was that idea for a long time, and some Gallicas lost stripes after heat treatment, but the stripes on some others remained. Because the purported "striping virus" couldn't be transmitted to unstriped roses via grafting, its existence is debated. And another possible explanation exists for why some lost their stripes after heat treatment.

So while it MAY be the case for some, it's not the case for all. I read this as a sort of footnote to an article mentioning striped roses, but I can't remember offhand where I found it. It could be an "incomplete sport" to a lighter or darker color, as is probably the case with many. On the other hand, most of those which were "striped from birth" descend from 'Ferdinand Pichard' which was one of the few capable of transmitting this pattern via sexual reproduction.

Thanks, nastarana for the info on striped HT's. I like a lot of HT's, but am not very knowledgeable about which ones might do well here, and which ones won't.

A relative who grows HT's says they pretty much all get BS in her NC garden even though she sprays. So I have this idea in my head that HT's in the Southeast get BS, and don't know how true that is, or even how much it would matter if it were true since a few blemished leaves wouldn't bother me. Complete defoliation would bother me, though...

So, for now, I'm putting off the question of HT's until I can look around me to see which of the ones I like actually do well here.

I do like the looks of the ones you mentioned, but I think I need to learn more about this class of roses before I commit to trying any of them.

Thanks again,
Virginia

PS All bets would be off if I could get ahold of the HT 'Adam Raffles', a striped sport of 'Mme Caroline Testout', but I don't think it's available in the U.S.

Gean and Kippy: I'm so glad to hear how things have gone for 'Betty'! I totally approve of her move to a warmer climate - just as my own 'Betty' had to be given away to someone who had a good place for her. I hated watching her (and the other two) decline slowly - it was as if I were torturing them.
Gean, I looked for you at Open Garden this year, although I know that you and your family were on a special trip to various places that time. It's good to hear from you!

I currently grow 1 stripey and 1 splotchy...both are gallicas.

CamaÃÂ¯eux (a shorter-growing though heavily suckering plant...not sure if she'd like a pot, but potted or grafted this might be a great choice for a space-challenged gardener who has few gallica options)

Ville de Toulouse (a lot of the HMF photos also show light splotching, if this one isn't as familiar)

I used to grow Honorine de Brabant...adored her scent but didn't like the growth habit of my plant :*(

'Ville de Toulouse' is one I hadn't heard of, and it is a stunner- I really dig that 'mottled Gallica' look, but your 'VdT' almost has a moirÃÂ© effect that I haven't seen before.

'CamaÃÂ¯eux' and 'Rosa Mundi' look like their stripes were painted on- very nice indeed!

We're having an unusually buggy Spring here; I'm guessing the more desirable bugs didn't survive the winter in the same quantities as the bad un's.
