Not Purple Pavement. What is it?
Comments (8)Well I went straight to the source and got my answer. The tag was on the rose, at the bottom, almost buried. I didn't think the tag was there anymore but it was. The rose is Foxi Pavement. Boy is my face red. I swear the sign at the nursery said Purple Pavement. lol...See MoreBest place to order Pavement roses
Comments (4)I have a few white Pavement varieties. I've sent you the info by e-mail. A lady stopped by this morning and was all excited to see I had roses for sale. Said she'd be back Tuesday. She came back two hours later with her husband and bought 16 hybrid rugosas. I kinda though she might be back the same day. She was too excited. Reminds me of myself a few years ago when I first got the rose obsession....See Moredisplay garden of cold hardy roses in Alberta
Comments (3)If I ever get that way..... Agree with your favorites...I grow them all and they're all good here in Kansas. Champlain is everblooming, including one I have on the north side of the house almost in shade except for about 30 days around June to early July when the sun gets far enough north. It's also pretty blackspot resistant. I'd echo what you said about Morden Fireglow; my current one struggles and I've lost one before....See MorePavement Rose 'Schneekoppe'
Comments (5)Thanks to all of you. I actually do deadhead the spent blooms during the summer, waiting (like the second poster) for rose hips until the end of the season. But I just get so few repeat blooms. Maybe a dozen between the first flush and season's end. Lots of leaves and growth, but very few blooms. I don't fertilize but it is planted in a pretty rich organic compost mix. I think I may give it one more season, try deadheading more vigorously (maybe actually cutting back during the season) and fertilizing, to see if I get more bloom -- that would be its third season in this spot. If I don't, then I'll dig it and offer it to our local plant swap and get something that's a more reliable bloomer throughout the season. I, too, got this rose for its deer and disease resistant (both claims it's more than lived up to), but I also wanted more bloom since part of the reason for choosing it was the fragrance of the blooms. So I'll give it a reprieve until next summer but then may try one of the other varieties suggested, or else one of the Fairy roses perhaps (do the deer eat them?) In another area, I have what was sold as "rosa rugosa 'Alba'" ... is that a "Pavement" rose, too? Both originally came from White Flower Farm here in Connecticut (from the farm itself, since it is nearby); neither is listed on their website any more. The Alba is not particularly fragrant (bought it before the Schneekoppe) but does seem to bloom more regularly through the summer (so I'm keeping it!)...See Morenorthspruce
