Your favorite non-Kordes/non-Meilland hybrid tea?

11 years ago

Since we've already covered Kordes and Meilland HTs, let's lump all the others together and nominate your top THREE favorite non-Kordes/non-Meilland hybrid teas. List breeder if you know it.

Here are my THREE favorites:

Red Intuition--Delbard HT--long-lasting blooms and very disease-resistant--and beautiful!
{{gwi:329644}}

Double Delight--Swim & Ellis HT--that indispensable HT ! This is the best pic I have--I know some of you have much better ones.
{{gwi:297471}}

Gypsy Carnival--Suzuki HT--shouldn't be here since it is a terrible disease magnet, but I do love this red with the yellow reverses, so I'm including it here instead of Chrysler Imperial which would have been my next choice.
{{gwi:347216}}

As popular as Double Delight usually is, perhaps we should just say, what are your THREE favorite non-Kordes/non-Meilland HTs OTHER THAN DOUBLE DELIGHT!

But you can show us a DD pic if you have a really good one! : )

My three favorite non-Kordes/non-Meilland hybrid teas are: Augusta Luise and Ascot both hybridized by Evers at Tantau; Ascot is also classified as a grandiflora. My third selection is Dainty Bess (not sure who its hybridizer was).

What is your favorite mauve Hybrid Tea?

The bloom opened. Pretty flower: loosely quartered (similar to Comte de Chambord), lightly fragrant, and clear lilac*. Good, strong stem. The color and fragance was disappointing but this is a first year own root plant. I'll give it another year or two for the plant to mature before making a final judgment. The plant itself is still tiny, but bigger than four other own roots in the same pot ghetto. Only the Bourbon DUEL DE DR. REYNAUD is bigger, and it is a climber. It is also one of the few babies that has foliage. I don't spray the roses in my pot ghetto because I want to be able to accurately access their black spot resistance before planting. You'd be surprised at how many of the babies never make it into the beds. * I define lilac as lavender with a noticeable pink undertone.

sutekesh Not exactly a fashion thing as Belami is a beautiful Kordana but a practical business decision of the Kordana growers in N. America which can only offer so many varieties in a mixed box and the pastels are less popular in general. I would buy this rose over the stronger colors, but I must be a minority in N. America. Yes you are right we did patent it. On names I sometimes have to laugh at all of this because I see posts about names and how terrible the German names are on this site. When we give it a better commercial name for the North America market or in another country then there is criticism on that. I guess there is no winning on the subject! For all the advanced rose lovers use the denomination in the case of Elegant Fairy Tale it is KORterschi. It never changes the world over. It is the legal name and all breeder rights and patents are filed under this name. You will never be confused. Plus all Kordes varieties start with the letters KOR which makes it clear who the breeder is. Same for all other breeders the varieties always start with a standard breeder code.

Off hand, I think I only have one, so it must be my favorite - Rouge Royale - and I am not going to post that photo again. I'm getting weary of it so I know everyone else must gag. It's news to me that Twilight Zone is a HT. Mine doesn't look like it in bush or bloom form. So, it's another favorite. Roberto Capucci - I planted him, changed my mind, put him back in his original band pot and he's bursting at the seams to get in the ground. I love him even though he hasn't bloomed yet. He's an eager one! If we're calling Quietness a HT, then it's definitely up there with Rouge Royale, and they look smashing together. Cream Veranda and Westerland are HTs?! No way! Mine have been keeping this little secret to themselves. Geez, I didn't know I had so many HTs.

I only have two on your list, Sunny; Kiss Me Kate and Plum Perfect. In my Arizona climate, KMK throws thick, stiff canes straight for the sky, 8 to 10 feet tall. There is no way to do much training or bending of any kind. They aren’t flexible even when the canes are young and fresh. They snap off with very little pressure, so a gentle fanning of the canes is all I can accomplish on mine. She is very vigorous, breaking new basal canes all during the growing season. Her spring flush is delectable, big fat cup cupcake booms with a fragrance that I love. Unfortunately, I don’t get very much rebloom, but this will be my 4th summer with her and I keep hoping for improvement in that area. I pruned her back pretty hard this spring and am hoping that kickstarts her blooming into overdrive. Plum Perfect is only starting her second year in my garden and the first summer in the ground as I kept her in a pot the first season. She has been maintenance free and beautiful and I have no complaints except for her lack of fragrance, but I don’t think PP ever has much fragrance and in my arid climate, not much can be expected.

That's really hard to narrow down, but I'll have to say Fragrant Cloud (Tantau) as my favorite, probably followed by Dolly Parton (Winchel) and then Rio Samba (Warriner). Honorable mentions to Royal Amethyst, Over the Moon, Falling in Love, Firefighter, and on and on and on...

Some beautiful roses everyone! Tiffany by Lindquist is my number one choice. Mainly because it is a good bloomer for me and the fragrance and I love the color too!

Number 2 choice is Double Delight by Swim & Ellis. It is dependable, unique and always fragrant, can't help but love it! I actually have better pictures than this one, but I'm sure I've already posted them.

And my number three choice is Bewitched by Lammerts. The blooms are nearly always beautiful and I think it is an overall good pink. It is almost a tie between it and Perfume Delight, but Bewitched blooms stay prettier longer.

without a doubt---LOUISE ESTES. Everything I want in a HT. Good looking bush from top to bottom. Beautiful foliage, long cutting stems, one of the most beautiful blooms I have ever seen and it smells great. I have never seen a picture of this rose that does it any justice. You have to see it in person to understand what I mean. Now it gets tough. #2 would be MOONSTONE---Some good shots on HMF. #3 is BRINESSA---Beautiful smoky pink blooms on a good bush. Foliage like leather. Getting a little tough to find now aday.

Oops - I didn't notice Kate's comment about Double Delight, my picture isn't that great! So I'll bump up Bewitched to number two and choose Perfume Delight by Swim and Weeks as my third choice!

Mine are two very early ones, La France and Souvenir de President Carnot, both late 1800's I believe. I think I'm also going to like Heirloom but it's very small and hasn't flowered yet.

Many of the ones listed above plus 'Dainty Bess'....a 5 petal HT that an artist friend of mine described as "a bush with a cloud of pink butterflies over it".

I agree with wirosarian on Dainty Bess which I also selected as one of my favorites. But I don't have a good photo of her, so I think we should ask seil "pretty please" if she would post her exquisite pic of Dainty Bess for one of our photos. If you're reading this, seil, pretty please post that pic. Thanks. Diane
