Rock 'n Roll

Here are two photos of the Hadeco double striped Symphony cultivar Rock Ân Roll. Its developing scapes and buds were a very decorative variegated purplish green color. I will make sure to photograph them next time.

For those of you wondering where to get R and R, it's on the cover of the Edmunds catalogue which I just got yesterday. I got my Scentimental partly on Rosebud's enabling and have loved it except for each bloom only lasts an hour or so. But it blooms a lot which has saved it from the shovel. I would trade it for R and R if it had the same scent and growth habit. Another comment--beware for the "new" Edmunds. Of the 4 knockouts I got last year from them 3 arrived near death, and although they replaced them, I only got 3 to grow. YMMV. K

I'm looking forward to reviews on this one also. It will be too soon to see about bush shape, but I'm particularly interested in how long the blooms hold form before opening fully.

Hey, thanks for setting me straight on this. Sounds like the Portland Rose Garden may need to change their sign of this rose in their garden. Whenever I take photos of a particular rose, I also shoot the sign to make sure. Below is a link to the exact sign of the rose at the beginning of this thread. Bet that there have been some rosers who have already talked to the folks at the PRG about it, persnickety people that we are. . .Probably will myself when I go next. At least now I know what to order and make sure next season. . .thanks to all!! Here is a link that might be useful:

Rock 'n Roll! Alright! It does shout "rock 'n roll" with its bright red, frilly flowers and white punctuation! It's a lovely Hadeco rendition! Thanks for sharing!

Another one added to my long, over-flowing list of bulbs I covet... I need to rob a bank so I can get half the bulbs written on this list I keep!

Hi Blancawing,
I think this is my favorite Hadeco double. You can't beat those stout scapes and the leaf color is a nice bonus.

Chaz & Jodik, I have 2 Rock & Roll to trade. I need to get my mess of a trade list cleaned up & catalog what I have left out there in the greenhouse. Lora

Lora,
I have been in a raging war with Narcisuss bulb fly (at least 6 infected bulbs discovered so far) and would not want to send any hipp/amis to anyone right now. Need at least a full season of keeping them indoors in the sunroom away from possible infestation again. Don't know what I could trade but would Love to get one. Anything non hipp that you may be interested in? I don't have a list together yet, but may be able to find something you may want!

Lora, I love this robust double too. Good luck with your trade list.

Chazparas, so sorry that you are plagued by the Narcissus fly.

Blanca,
It's horrible, unfortunately the bulbs seem to keep growing until the damage is so much that a couple of years of flowering will be lost on each bulb that can be saved. Other than 2 papillios which just stopped growing, the others have shown no sign of distress until it was too far gone to save the flower stems. The larger bulbs have survived neem injections and some surgery (I just can't throw a plant out if there is a chance to save it without putting others at risk). I did lose 2 of the smaller varieties, emerald and ruby meyer. I also lost a row of daffs over 30 feet long! It was beautiful one year, gone the next.

Lora - Rock & Roll is a beauty, to be sure, but with my dwindling room for more bulbs, I'd better stick to those with the capacity to breed. I do appreciate the offer of a trade, though! I have no idea what I would even have that you'd want as a trade, anyway; my bulb collection is not very big!

I can see by your trade list that you dabble in many wonderful plant types! I grow quite a few perennials from seed each spring, and I've been using them to fill in the all the new beds we've dug... I usually give the excess to friends. This year, we're going to try our hand at selling a few things to help pay for all the other plant materials we order from catalogs, like roses!

I will keep checking your plant list, though... perhaps we could trade a few other things later this spring!
