Comments (12)Love your GT! Molineux, a shorter Austin, is a lovely blend of yellow/gold/apricot with sometimes a touch of peach in the center. Sometimes it is pure yellow with creamy outer petals--changing colors and a good bloomer. Here he is in a more golden apricot mood. Golden Celebration is highly praised by many--if you don't mind some blackspot problems. My The Pilgrim (climber) is fairly new, so I can't say a lot about it, but its first blooms were lovely. My camera, for some reason, intensifies the color a bit on this rose--more pastel colored in real life. Hope that helps. Kate...See MoreBought two DA's, Graham Thomas and Darcey Bussell
Comments (6)Yes you are correct, you need to protect the graft. Frankly, I dont bother asking most nusery workers about anything.. they either give terrible advice, or dont have a clue. Most NUSERY owners are different. if they are there they are usually more knowledagle and plant lovers.. but they have to take what help they can get for the summer months.. sometimes college kids or high schoolers as well. They dont have time to train them about most plants, just the job function before they are gone. Graham Thomas died for me in my zone.. Ive never tried Darcy here.. im suprised you found a newer one! i wouldve picked it up if I saw it locally. Not all DAs are created equal of course, you probably know that.. some are hardier, some healthier, some dont work for all climates. Most DAs are hardy to zone 5ish.. most work ok , with some getting massive dieback, some barely at all. Silverkelt...See MoreMy 'Graham Thomas' and 'Teasing Georgia'
Comments (12)Thanks so much guys! Both of them are wonderful performers, they always seem to have more buds and regrowth on them. I adore the tea-rose scent of my TG. The fragarence of the GT is unusual, but not unpleasant. I only have two more pics of them. The first is of Teasing Georgia last year, after the color has faded some. The second pic was taken in the early spring, and is of the flower bed my Graham Thomas is planted in. CMK...See MoreBe careful what you wish for...Graham Thomas vs clematis
