'Thornless' vs 'Few Thorns'
Comments (18)this site lists Tausendschon (forgive my missing umlats)as being "almost without thorns." tomhumphreys, the way you get around umlauts is to spell those words the way the Swiss do. Every time you see a German vowel with an umlaut, if you do not have a way of recreating those two dots, add a following "e". That's what the German-speaking Swiss do and it's universally regarded as a totally legitimate spelling among German speaking people. Thus - "Tausendschoen" (& you will see it spelled that way now & again since that is also a legit. spelling of its name). Yes, I'm not surprised to learn it's regarded as "almost without thorns". If the rose I have transplanted and pruned is in fact Tausendschoen, then there are no "thorns" ("prickles" is botanically correct, but culturally we have long called them "thorns", no?) on the canes, but there are very small prickles on the undersides of the leaf midribs....See MoreBasye's Blueberry Information, please
Comments (1)I grew it years ago but lost it. I haven't seen much discussion of it here or on the OGR forum.

Here is a link that might be useful: ARE...See MoreUltimate size of 'Basye's Blueberry'
Comments (1)I just got this one too, and can't wait for it to bloom. I don't have personal experience, but at least 6X4 from my reading. A lot of size estimates have to do with how long it grows in a good spot. For example, I have seen a Fortune's Osmanthus the size of a house (100 + years old), but much smaller is the likelihood of growth in our lifetime....See MoreBasye's Blueberry is infected
Comments (38)I've never been able to get Cool Roses to repond to either my phone calls or e-mails, so I don't know exactly what's up with that. I have also never been able to get a response to my question as to whether their rootstock is clean or not either. I believe they are still in business though. As far as other nurseries go that are known to graft on fortuniana, I have no recommendations, at least in what can be considered Central Florida. You may be able to read between the lines here. Becnel Roses is out of business now. I used to get nice roses from them. The best thing we can do is obtain virus free fortuniana as a stock plant, and practice grafting.
