Red Eden vs Blaze climbing rose
Comments (8)Okay, dash and seil. I have been working on red climber projects for a few years now in Michigan's upper peninsula. I have a rose that was labeled Blaze when I bought it and I became suspicious of whether it was Blaze or Blaze Improved. So I bought a plant labeled Blaze Improved from High Country Roses last spring. Is there a way to tell the difference between Blaze and Blaze Improved? Is the only difference the repeat blooming? I think both roses are still getting their roots under them but the first "Blaze" gave me a couple of flushes of blooms last year. I have tried to pair it with a Climbing Iceberg but up here, the Blaze outgrows the Iceberg. Climbing Iceberg always adds some suspense to the garden when I wonder whether it will survive the winter (with a rose cone filled with oak leaves and a mound of dirt). I am unaware of another white climber that would match up with a red Blaze. By the way, I have tried Dublin Bay twice here and it never survived the winter. Has anyone else been able to grow it this far north?...See MoreStrange Growth on your Roses? (Dublin Bay and others)
Comments (17)Poodlepup, When you or any of us are trying to diagnose diseases, we need to look for multiple symptoms. Red color isn't even a failsafe diagnosis of RRD; some OGRs never show the red color at all when they are sick with it. RRD has symptoms that are sometimes really blatent, but other times are more subtle. An example is when infected leaves have margins that are different from the pattern of uninfected (same cultivar) leaves. Sometimes the leaves shapes change and the symmetry is lost. Stipules may be hugely overgrown- a stipule on a healthy rose may end up with crazy dentitions when the rose is sick....See MoreCan anyone recommend a good climbing yellow and climbing red rose
Comments (5)Rev d'Or did very well in Earthkind trials for Texas gardens, so may do well for you, too. I like a modern red climber in my garden - Dublin Bay. It reblooms well - no fragrance, though. It can definitely take the heat. Anita...See MoreDublin Bay climbing
Comments (7)Florence, I moved mine from a spot that didn't get enough sun and was very windy to this prime spot. It is a different rose in full sun. I am happy I did it, though it took a while to get re-established. Kathy...See Moremikeber
