Comments (8)Here's some of mine... ALABAMA - A pretty rose that gets big blooms and grows about 5ft x 3ft. Decent disease resistance; fair repeat. AUTUMN GOLD - Very pretty rose. Mine is an own-root from Vintage Gardens many yrs ago. Blooms pretty decently, altho it could repeat better.. maybe if I fed the roses more often... It stays about 2-3ft x 2ft. BABY TALK - One of my favorites of the "Talk" series. Beautiful light lavender shapely blooms that occasionally get some "oddball"undertones... beigey. Stays very low. like not even 2ft x 2ft. CALICO - One of my favorites. Unfortunately it doesn't bloom as much as I'd like, but when it does, it's gorgeous. Grows about 4ft x 2ft. DISCO - A lovely red with white reverse that blooms really well. Unfortunagtely it fries in the hot summer sun tho. Grows about 4-5ft x 2 1/2ft. INK SPOTS - A gorgeous dark black-red that's hard to accurately photograph. Grows tall... up to 6ft x2-3ft. PILLOW TALK - My favorite of the "Talk" series... Gorgeous orchid-y mauve with yellow reverse ruffled blooms. Good repeat. Grows about 3ft x 2-3ft. SMALL TALK - A nice yellow shorty. Grows about the same as the other "Talk" roses. Not more than about 2 1/2ft x 2ft. Great repeat, lots of blooms.. WILD HONEY - a gorgeous light pink blender that I wish would repeat better than it does. Grows about 3ft x 2ft....See MoreWhat is the difference between Star Roses and Weeks Roses
Comments (11)That was super frustrating I was out in the Sacramento area and I could not get to photos to sync or post and I could not get the Facebook to send a message to Star Roses, but when I got home to my desk top, I could do it. Here is the French Lace. I had Dark Night and I did not take a photo, but it also had two canes that were bright red that grew up in the wrong way. Now I really wish I had a photo of that Dark Night. I really wish this is spring dwarfism. I have more photos, but I can't find that camera right now. I took these with my phone. But, the photos in that camera show other of the roses near it was some signs of it, but nothing as extreme as this one. I hope I can find at some point and post those. Unfortunately the link posted looks nothing like Dwarfism due to Mosaic and in big huge letters it says, THIS PAGE IS BEING WRITTEN. PLEASE DISREGARD THE INFORMATION ON ROSE MOSAIC VIRUS BELOW. If I saw the rose listed as in the photo, there I would think that is ok, and proably buy it. I like to buy sickly plants and nursery them back to health to show up my skills, but that Dark Night did not give me anything to go with. Like the photos I have, it had no leaves at all and only witches brooms instead of leaves and the nursery seller has been tricked by the Star Rose Rep into leaving those plants right next to all the healthy ones. We are not able to reason with Nursery Owner who probably does not use the Internet and does not know or care very much about roses either....See MoreLady in Red Climbing Rose & other Weeks Roses
Comments (29)Vapor ... it was all a coincidence! I went to my local nursery on the one day a year they have a sale for easy spirit rose . It was pouring buckets , but I wanted that discount! I was sprinting to the check out building with my large rose , my toddler who didn't want to walk in mud in the other hand , and a gentleman opened the door for me. Turns out he is the president of the Nashville chapter . He grabbed the rose from me and was giving me the newbie rundown on roses . So we started talking and I told him I wasn't new to roses .. he invited me to the meeting the next day and was so welcoming! He then told me all new members get a rose and he had one just for me .. "lady in red! You can't get it anywhere, it's new " he said . I smiled and said I would be there ! So now I have two lady's , and I really enjoyed the meeting. There is definitely some opinions there about everything.. just like here. ;) I found out the VP lives just down the road so we are arranging to see each other's garden . I encourage you to try a meeting !! Even if I can't make every meeting, they have discounts on roses and things in the spring and I can't wait to see the open gardens people have . Sorry for the essay ! Lol...See Moreroses_more_roses
