Impressed with Therese Bugnet rebloom
Comments (14)Mine's 15 years old and has traveled off its rootstock. I never got more than a couple more blooms after the spring bloom until last year. Started using fish emulsion. I have to say I don't like fish emulsion. Also I poured the water to it. Madame Hardy is next to it and has a reputation as a really stingy bloom producer. This year it is covered with blossoms. I tell you what, that fish emulsion is really disgusting stuff. I got it because all the fertilizer I could find around here had cranked up their percentages until they were just generic Miracle Grow. I think Miracle Grow is just like feeding your toddler Mountain Dew. Along with the Fish emulsion I used a product called Alaska Morbloom. Both products came from this company and had a percentage together of 5-11-11. A lot of the professional rose food has a lower percentage, and I'm guessing is better for the plant, long term....See MoreIs Therese Bugnet a good rebloomer?
Comments (23)Anita, Yes I would agree it is new growth that gives you the bloom on Theresa - but I believe that to be the case with nearly all roses that I do not prune. I think it is just the wording that confuses people about repeat. In my case Theresa's late blooms come either from new laterals off old cane that erupt after the spring flush or new basals. Can not remember if I ever seen it from new cane growing from existing spring bloom sites - I don't think this rose does that but I need to check. So in that sense Theresa does not really a "repeat" in the way I see it on Nevada / Pink Nevada. In this rose new cane develops from the flowering site whose blooms I never prune off and terminates with a new bloom (sorry my rose part terminology is lax). I was absolutely riveted by it last year thinking it was quite cool and unique until Cass mentioned it also happens on HP's. I never prune Theresa and never would like a HT for repeat as I doubt it would work for this shrub rose - but it is an interesting test. How tall is the cemetery version and the cane thickness at the base?...See MoreDead heading Therese Bugnet Rose

Comments (7)I love this rose. It's been planted in every house I've been in. The early summer blooms literally stop people in their tracks and the fragrance perfumes the air. Re blooms sporadically for me through autumn. Beautiful red canes in winter. Nothing not to love about this rose. I only recall one episode of mildew on one ugly humid August many years ago....See Moresaskadaisy
