Comments (16)'Mutabilis' is a parent of 'Plaisanterie', and the two have very similar blooms which start yellowish, turn pinkish, and finish reddish. The reason I went with 'Plaisanterie' is that my 'Mutabilis' has no scent I can discern at all, but 'Plaisanterie' may have some scent from 'Trier', its other parent. Which nursery sold you the plant? I can look through the inventory they have and see if there's another possibility. :-) ~Christopher...See MoreWresting order out of chaos in the garden
Comments (6)It's good to hear from all you other chaos-tamers. We've been working on our garden for about fourteen years now; another decade or two should do it, except for maintenance, but we don't have that much time given DH's age. Every bit of beauty, wealth, and order gained makes me happy. By "wealth" I mean fertile soil and a great variety and number of healthy plants. Today I'm hoping to transplant a puny 'Clair Matin' into a better spot and better ground, and perhaps dig another hole for a 'Blush Noisette' that will keep 'Cl. Mme. Caroline Testout' company on a pergola. And we have a hole mostly dug for a second hazelnut nearby. All this is in the garden area bounded by the bed I've been working on, so the influence of order and beauty continues to spread outward. Oh, yes, and we did find a place for another Tea rose, and the hole has been dug. I think I'm going to put 'Souv. de Auguste Legros' there, just because I have a plant of it. I hope it gets big....See Morehybrid musk and teas/chinas for sf bay area
Comments (23)Thanks, everyone! I ordered from ARE last week: Cornelia, Madame Berkeley, Mutabilis, Sally Holmes, and Marie Van Houtte. These last three didn't come up on this thread, so hope I chose well. Mutabilis and Sally were on my want list, but I had forgotten about them. I've seen both around here looking really stunning. Marie Van Houtte was more of an impulse buy. I wanted Mrs Dudley Cross, but read MVH is less prone to mildew. Rosette Delizy was also a contender, but her color not as good with my existing plants. I really wanted to order the Cochets, but restrained myself due to the balling. Sigh... Marie VH and Mme Berkeley will have lots of sun; Mutabilis, mostly sun; Sally H will have morning sun. Not sure yet about where to plant Cornelia. I've read conflicting reports about how much sun she likes. I'll probably get one more shade tolerant rose- maybe Pax, Buff Beauty, or Reve D'or. My clay soil is waterlogged, so I'll probably need to wait awhile to plant. No complaints about the rain, though!...See MoreBest rose in Part Shade?
Comments (22)Kordes shrubs Caramella and Lions Rose (Lions Fairy Tale), Buck shrub Carefree Beauty, and the heat-loving Bourbons SDLM, Souv. de St. Ann's and Mystic Beauty. David Austin's Molineux is OK but not great. Natchitoches Noisette really outperforms Blush Noisette in part shade and I love the way the airy sprays of bloom are held up in the breezes. Marie Daly and Marie Pavie both bloom well in part shade, but Little Pink Pet (Caldwell Pink) really needs full sun. Hybrid musk Cornelia blooms extremely well in 4 hours of direct sun. Lavender Dream, Lyda Rose and Bubble Bath have disappointed me, I need to try some other hybrid musks if I can identify some that won't lose all their leaves here! I don't grow many modern roses but am trying some of the new Kordes HT's and floribundas. So far Pink Enchantment and South Africa are BEGGING for more sun, have yet to put on size or bloom much. I'm really eager to see how many modern roses can handle 4 to 6 hours of sun. Even tho I'm at the northern edge of 8A in SE Virginia, many roses simply fry here in the afternoon sun....See More- 9 years ago
