What is your fav 1/4'd or button-eye bloomer?

16 years ago

I absolutely LOVE roses like my Wm. Shakespeare 2000 or Rouge Royale, whose blooms are often quartered or button-eyed.

Would anyone be interested in telling me about yours?

Pics welcome if you have them.

My favorite button-eyed rose is 'Reine des Violettes'.
My favorite quartered rose is 'Souvenir de la Malmaison'.

This is an easy one that looks great. I see it on a side street I take sometimes, so I haven't stopped for a picture. Maybe this year. Echinacea--Magnus, or even the old reliable Shasta Daisy Becky A small hosta with green and yellow-green leaves and short stalks of closely spaced, darker-than-usual, lavender/purple flowers. The bloom times mesh nicely and all the plants are very easy care. I am working on getting a stand of this going in my yard. The spot I tried is too overrun with maple roots (outside the drip line but thick with those roots nonetheless) so nothing but the daisies really succeeded there. Hard to believe, but the hostas are sulking in that spot. For a few years, I had a nice grouping of orange oriental poppies, Alaska daisies, and purple dutch iris. They all petered out, but one day I may try that again. Steve, I love your yarrow, russian sage and lychnis. I have all of those, I should just get them more chummy so I can enjoy that beautiful look. Everyone's photos are so inspiring. Much better than looking at the plant catalogs. Hepatica

Lonicera - a vigorous (to the point of invasive) plant, but not at all fussy, takes dramatic shearing and pops back, and I will never tire of the fragrance. I keep it in bounds by growing it as a standard, which has the extra advantage of keeping the flowers at a convenient height for sniffing.

I'm with lalalandwi, it is easier to say what I don't like than what I do....I like most daylilies. What I don't like is more about garden habits than anything else. -I don't like flowers that melt or fade severely in the sun/heat. -I don't like them if they have to have humidity to produce color. -I don't like them if they are all blotchy like thrips damage, water spots, or uneven overlay (unless it is stippling or broken color evenly distributed & that is part of the cultivars natural coloration and not damage) -I don't like flowers that won't open properly, whether that is canoed sepals, tangled ruffles, mangled edges, 3 days to open so the edges are melted, etc -I don't like flowers that don't produce bloom..a sea of grass with a couple specs of color is not my idea of a good garden plant. Low bud count is OK so long as it is accompanied by tons of scapes. That is sometimes just a fact of this climate. -I don't like flowers on scapes that fall on their faces -I don't like doubles that only partially double or are unevenly doubled, as in one stamen turns into a petaloid but none of the others do leaving a lopsided flower -I don't like flowers that hide in the foliage -I don't like huge flowers on short, bity scapes or tiny flowers on super tall scapes- the scape & flower need to match each other in proportion -I don't like stuff that blooms and then immediately goes dormant, loosing all foliage until late summer, like blooming took every ounce of effort the plant could muster -I don't like yellow, weak, spindly foliage, even if it is intolerance to our alkaline soil. I will tolerate some (read moderate) leaf streak since hail and/or late frost damage is so frequent here and that is a inducer that can't be avoided. -I don't like a plant that rots fans following transplant. They need to tolerate division & replanting like champs. -I don't like plants that aren't hardy in arid, windy, freeze/thaw, z5 conditions Other than that, I like them ALL.

Favorite Blue Eyes of 2008
Q

Rena' - Cerulean Warbler turned out NOT to be a good long-term performer for me. I've had it four years, and it only blooms every other year. This was on "on" year, but I'm frustrated by those years when it doesn't bloom at all, Texas Blue Eyes, on the other hand, has improved every year, and this summer was one of my Top 10 performers. It and Jitterbug Blues were my best performing blue eyes this year, with Heaven's Declaring being #3. Ada May Musick and Blue Eyed Bandit are always good bloomers, so they would be #4 and 5. Neither gets enough sun anymore to rebloom. But, if planted in full sun, both would indeed rebloom. Susie Tee, Bobby Martin and Ginny Mitchell died somewhere along the way. All three of those were being grown in pots. Debra

Alida, Randy and Msjam2,
Those roses are beautiful! Thank you!!! I was at our city rose garden looking at some of the oldies just today, but we weren't able to spend enough time. A lot of the blooms were wayyyyyy old....I DID get to see Sydonie and Mme Pierre Oger though. :0) Phyl

Labrea,
I've never really seen Stanwell P-love the eye!
Roseleaf,
I couldn't believe I'd like a Buck rose really (have a few), but Prairie Sunrise is different. I looked it up on helpmefind. Of course, I LOVE RR, might get another!

Randy, SdlM looks so wonderful...might look into it too. I only have 2 old garden varieties (Henry Nevard and Baron Girod d'Lain). Saw a RdV at local rose garden yesterday...your photo was much better than what I saw (see my post re: Everytime we go to the city rose garden)

Msjam2, I forgot to ask you about MMagdalene. It looks a lot like Wedding Cake to me, the coloration etc. Does it often get this way (the kind of mottled pink on white?) I love it! :0) Phyl

Phyl I think I have a few, but up until now I never paid much attention on what roses are button-eyed.
Now I'm gonna have to go outside to see which ones they are.
Randy-Absolutely stunning
Alida-What beauties, your roses looks fantastic
Msjam-MM is simply irresistable, just gorgeous.
Joe- Stan P,pink color bloom, so soft and oh so pretty.
Roseleaf-that is a lovely bouquet of vibrant looking blooms.

One of the Bailey's Easy Elagance roses, 'Tahitian Moon' has impressed me. Dies back to the crown in my z4 garden but climbs back very quickly to 5-6' tall, seems to have very good disease resistance, holds its yellow color well but no fragrance. Link to a pic I posted on HMF below.

Randy, thanks a lot, your RdV looks stunning, love the color, I might replace my 2 Heirlooms with RdV, I'm sick and tired of seeing their bare legs. How big does RdV gets in DFW?

Phyl, she gives me different colors, kind of like molineux, when it's really hot, she's almost all white with some peach/yellow in the middle, when it's cooler, she's pumps blooms like that one on the pic. Either way, she's an awesome rose who is very disease-resistant.

Niecey, thanks a lot! :)

Msjam, I love RdV, one of my all time favorites ... BUT I do have to tell you her legs will get bare at times too. Mine is less than two years old and has canes that are 7 feet long. They arch outward, so I built a tripod for her to scooch up to.
