Wow, that is nice! The soil sure does look hot and dry there, and it doesn't appear you have mulched it, could be wrong about that. I don't know about the urn, sure a pretty one, but does it have drainage holes in it? It looks like it will quickly outgrow that urn unless I missed something.

aliska, the first two shots are of TB in a vase, and the third is the actual bush which is mulched. Sorry if I've made this confusing. I was testing to see how long TB would last in a vase and wanted to take a picture but had to take it outside to get a shot without using a flash.

Ingrid

I like her, too, Ingrid. She's beautiful, and I'm happy for you that she likes the heat and, apparently, couldn't care less about water! What a great rose for your garden! Do I see more TBs coming?

Ingrid,

This is one of my absolute favorite roses...hands down. I do get "some" repeat, but, it's never so beautiful as in the spring. I do, however, sometimes get red spider mites in the hottest, driest part of the summer. You might want to monitor for that. The red spider mites don't seem to cause too much of a problem.

Robert

I had the pleasure of sniffing this rose when I visited my sister in Maine. In a vase, it perfumed two rooms. It's a beauty. Congrats on your quick rebloom.

I, too, am a Therese Bugnet fan. She has been blooming non-stop in my garden since she started in spring. As Robert mentioned spring flush was the most magnificent, but I have been amazed that there have been constant blooms on her. The fragrance is divine, but I only notice it when the blooms first open. I am going to have to prune her back soon as she is already 6 feet tall and still growing. Such a vigorous rose.

Ingrid, your Therese looks beautiful and healthy. Great bush shot!

I'm a fan too. Took mine a while to get established but now it's great.

Carla

Ingrid, I'm very happy to have your report. I love rugosas and this part of coastal VA is very hot. Robert, anybody else in hot HUMID climate, who can comment on foliar health? I'm particularly concerned with Blackspot which is THE major problem here.

I don't grow it, but saw it in my friends garden recently. Some BS, but not too bad, between 30% and 50% leaf loss. Still big and strong, I am considering to add this one to my garden too.
Olga

It can be pretty humid here also, and right now, my Therese is starting to develop some PM. Hopefully it won't get out of hand. She's got a lot of new growth, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some blooms in late summer.
Judith

This is such a pretty rose. I like the hardy , carefree roses that seem to take care of themselves.

I will have to look into this rose !!!

Florence

I've wanted this one for awhile! Does she smell as good as I've heard?
This is my first year with "old" roses. My rugosa's are Buffalo Gal,Roseraie de l'Hay,Jens Munk, and Fru Dagmar Hastrup.
We live on a busy street and I would like to make a hedge with Therese near the road. Our roads are salted heavily though, anyone know if she can take it?
Yours look so pretty in the vase! Mine seem to wilt as soon as I pick them :-(

a generous and reliable re-blommer, considering it grows in a shady and windy place with a horrible terrain, where probably not many other plants would survive...
Never one single diseased leaf, although some parasite sometimes take a snack with a few leaves. But nothing to worry about.
that's my TB right today: (click the link)
