Hahaha. I was sure I was gonna see a "naked rose AKA "strips" typo.
I too love roses with stripes. I grow 4th of July hybrid, Ferdinand Pichard (a newbie) and what is probably Scentimental (unlabelled $5 Walmart).

Fourth of July stays in bloom 10 months of the year here in Florida. Wicked thorns so it's in the far corner of the lot.

I cannot wait to see FPichard bloom. He's in the front, growing nicely.

Scentimental is barely alive. Wrong rootstock. I should try taking cuttings to go own-root but have failed with cuttings so often. Such a wonderful fragrance though.

P.S. Nice photographs, thanks. Last August we drove through OK on our way west. Hot as hades but nice people in our stops there.

Sorry about the typo (and any potential disappointment). I should never post to the forum before I finish my first cup of coffee.

I have grown Ferdinand Pichard before (at a previous residence) and will probably add it again. I think it is a special rose and that you will like it. However, it was not a strong re-bloomer for me.

Summers can be hot here. We just finished June with 11 days of 100 degree temps. The most on record surpassing June of 1933 which had 9 days.

I grow Rosa Mundi, a striped gallica. Once blooming only, but I like it a lot. Thanks for the blog link and beautiful pictures, Rev. I grew up in Oklahoma near the Wichita Mts. Lots of beautiful places there.

I've always wanted at least one striped rose in my garden and my choice is Julio Iglesias, one reason being its wonderful fragrance. It's flanked by two white butterfly bushes which I hope won't squish it to death in the near future. I just purchased a baby Rasberry Parfait which is also stripey.

wellrounded, your roses are lovely and I hope they continue to do well for you.

harborrose, your pictures are beautiful and I really like the glimpse of your garden with the wonderful companion plants around your rose.

your second photo is so beautiful. Really says 4th of July in the good old USA. Love that blue pyramidy-thing (can never remember the correct name).

Denise

Tuteur! that's the word

Harborrose, Beautiful pictures of Rosa Mundi. I've always enjoyed hiking in the Wichita Mountains or taking in an overnight trip to Medicine Park. After a great deal of decline Medicine Park seems to be making a come back.

How about one named for our very own Kim Rupert

The description says yellow and red, but the pictures and my eyes say red and white....

It's my newest striped rose :-))))

I used to go to the Easter Pageant in the Wichitas when I was a kid, went camping and hiking. Lots of memories of buffalo and prairie dogs! I'm glad to hear about Medicine Park; I've been there more than a few times, but not since dh's mother died some years ago. No relatives left there, but still remember that red rock in those mountains.

Susan, that bed with Rosa Mundi also has a red shrub rose by Kim Rupert called Lynnie. I really like the roses I have of Kim's: Lauren, Little Butterflies and Lynnie. They're all really disease resistant and bloom a lot.

{{gwi:289735}}

Well well well, I didn't know about Lauren, and somehow I had forgotten about Lynnie, but I see that they are both now available from Vintage (via Eurodesert), so I think I will have go get them to add to Rayon Butterflies and Purple Buttons (my two other KR roses)

I've always liked striped roses and grow several. Those of us who live in gallica-friendly climates have a selection of striped and splotchy roses that will do well for us, so much so that they have been called the "mad gaillicas".

Rosefolly

Ok, this is OT, except that the OP had a not-OGR selection so I'll throw my hat in the circle:

Rock & Roll. As I posted elsewhere today, it's been an amazing surprise that I picked up from Cliff's closing sale for the DH who's taken up guitar again AND love stripes AND red (it's red & white stripes). Exceedingly clean foliage in mildew/rust central, vigorous bush and bright, stripey flowers (this is the R _&_ R, not Rock 'n Roll which isn't red/white). Home run at our house.

I'm thrilled to read how my "babies" are behaving themselve and making you happy! There's always that fear they will misbehave. I'm very happy they aren't! Thanks! Kim

I have a photo of Rosa Mundi in my current post on once-blooming roses, it is one of many striped roses I have bought, not all are still around. I can try to take some photos of some others and post on my blog, though they are not OGRs since the Ferdinand Picard I tried to buy once turned out to be Reine des Violettes instead. Sigh.

I heard a presentation by Jolene Adams at a convention about striped roses. She said that all striped roses can be traced back genetically to Rosa Mundi and the stripes are actually caused by a virus! It was fascinating stuff!

That's interesting, Seil. Supposedly, virus doesn't cross the placenta, so seedlings shouldn't be virused, yet there are striped seedlings. There are stripes which can be caused by virus, particularly in tulips. Ralph Moore chose Ferdinand Pichard to breed his striped roses because it was the only stripe which wasn't listed as being a mutation of another rose. He theorized it could be a seedling and his breeding resulted in striped seedlings from it.

Who knows what Ferdinand came from? If viruses don't cross the placenta, how could striped seedlings be raised from both pollen (which could infect the seed parent but not the seedling) as well as seed of his stiped roses?

I've heard that about virus, and have seen my tulips turn from plain to striped from one year to the next, presumably as a result of virus.
About roses, now. I don't know what the genetics are. Would virus cause a striped mutation? (first question) Then, is there a natural tendency toward striping in spotting, particularly (or exclusively) in the Gallicas that has been heightened by breeding for this trait? I have a lot of Gallicas, and quite a few have unevenly colored petals without being positively striped; at least, since they're not in flower now, this is what my memory is telling me. That's the second question.

Well rounded: Those are charming roses! I especially like the Moore's Striped Rugosa.

Harborrose: I love your Rosa Mundi - that was one of the very first roses that I wanted to have when I first read a book about old roses. Your garden up there looks wonderful - I see you are adapting well! BTW, don't feel bad if your 'Betty' doesn't make it - my own plant is not doing very well, and I don't think it is just because it is in a pot. She seems to just go very slowly downhill. Of course, this is only her third year, and I love her too much to give up on her, but I thought I would let you know. Sorry if I led you down the (rose) garden path on her!

Laura

I don't know much about the subjects of genetics or viruses but that was the information Jolene gave us in her presentation. I thought it was interesting because I love striped roses so it stuck with me.

Thank you all for your nice comments about my photos.

Hemnancy, I enjoyed looking at your blog posting and your pic of Rosa Mundi - I love those hybrid musks too. I've never tried Penelope but it looks really nice. Does your Felicia rebloom for you?

Laura, Betty is holding her own - I moved her and set her back, but I have hopes she'll pull through okay. I saw one lovely bloom on her, too!

I have a striped rose called Rockin Robin. This rose was in pretty rough shape when I got it, and after nursing it along for a year or so it has added 2 nice sized canes. Now that it is on the mend, I hope the original owner does not want it back :)
