Comments (20)Hi Izzy, thank you! Judicious bud selection means you only select those from the most vigorous growth, in the best condition. Instead of using every bud on a stem, use those in the middle of a stem which has recently flowered. Those tend to be the ones best suited to break into faster growth and produce the better plants. I didn't have that "luxury" when I budded this plant as there weren't any decent stems. Everything was thin and twiggy and that's what it produced until now. There are arguments that it shouldn't matter which bud is used as they all, theoretically, should produce the same plants, but that isn't how it often tends to work. J. H. Nicholas wrote in "A Rose Odyssey" that they had visited the grandson's nursery of the creator of General Jacqueminot. He wrote that the nurseryman had "judiciously selected" buds for propagation and had refined the variety almost to the quality of a Hybrid Tea. He had fields of them. Nicholas related how through "careless propagation" the Hybrid Perpetuals in the US had been reduced to almost climbing plants with sparse bloom. Much blind growth had been used to the point of "ruining" the type. He then stated that sufficient propagating material had been secured to restore the J&P stock to the refined type. I also remember reading (though from whom, I don't remember) how a nurseryman claimed he could force a variety to produce climbing plants by selecting the immature, "flat", buds at the bottoms of the canes for budding. Whether that works or not, I can't vouch for as I have always tried to only propagate from a flowering stem, from which as perfect a bloom as could be expected from the type has recently shattered. That should help prevent propagating a mutation without knowing it. So, that's what I plan to do with this one!...See MoreShare your pictures of multi-color, bi-color and striped roses

Comments (9)This is my 3 year old Burlesque. It is a lot taller than listed on Heirloom; mine is easily 7 feet tall; It does not mind hard pruning in the Spring to keep it shorter. My pictures are taken in full sun, so the color is more deep mauve; in the evening near dusk, its color can become dark purplish as shown on Heirloom. Fragrance: Burlesque has a deep and warm, very attractive fragrance. In the first year, my Burlesque produced blooms that are more dark pink and white stripes, which is totally different than the picture on Heirloom. You can see in the picture, that it has streaks of white. I was disappointed; but its fragrance is so attractive, so I wanted to wait for it to be more mature. The color of the blooms in the third year is a lot deeper and darker; at times it does look like the picture on Heirloom. I had always loved its fragrance; its beauty grows in me. Especially when the color 'dotted' to accentuate other ligher color (peach, or cream) around; it gives the depth of your garden when look from far. I strongly recommend Burlesque.
