Comments (14)Hi Marianne, My FotW not quite 2 years old, on its own root, so I'm not sure how big it will get in the cold zones when it is finally mature. Right now it is about 1.25 to 1.5 meters tall. It is only just breaking dormancy now, so there's no growth yet for this year; it's too early to tell you how much it looks like it will grow this year. But I can say that it has had absolutely no disease, it reblooms well, has a lovely fragrance, and did not have any winter dieback this year. The leaf buds are coming out and the canes are very healthy. It seems very strong and vigorous so I have hopes for this rose in our cold zones. The problem in the northeastern U.S. is mostly blackspot. FotW had NO black spot last year, when almost all the other roses had black spot. So far, the canes are somewhat thin. The new growth could be trained easily, as the new growth is very flexible. I'm sorry that I don't know how big it will get. However, it has been a good rose so far. I hope someone with more experience can give us a good idea of how large it will be in a similar climate. Deb...See MoreCamellia sasanqua 'Marti' blooming
Comments (8)roselvr, your fear was our reality. We lived in a townhouse rented from my dad. Spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars in plants and landscaping but moved to another state. He rented it to non-gardeners and the whole yard was pretty much devastated. We hated to go by the rental when we visited him. I hope you can rescue the camellia. pontesmanny, funny that you have a much milder climate than the Trenton area. Your zone is so much more conducive to growing camellias....I envy you. I've seen a lot of camellias in the local nurseries this year but I wonder how many die because unsuspecting buyers don't realize they are pretty cold intolerant. Would love to see your camellias in bloom. If you have a free Photobucket account you can post the pictures in your message. Just create an account, upload pictures to your account.

Comments (29)I would move the roses as soon as you can work the soil, Roses tend to leaf out very early. I am wondering, since you say they are "fuchsia) in color, and since they have been cut down so many times, if these aren't just the rootstock onto which hybrids had once been grafted. Most hybrid teas,etc. have a rootstock such as "Dr. Huey" (rambling with dark red flowers), or some other varieties. If the hybrid graft is killed or cut off, then the understock will thrive and grow and that's all you'll have left. If that's the case, they may not be worth moving or saving, since all you'll get is long, rambling canes of not-so-pretty flowers. If you want some nice roses that bloom all season, need almost no care, and stay as a shrub (3x3' to maybe 6x6') look at the Knockout roses. Red, pinks, yellow, white and apricot. This photo was late October so not as covered with flowers as earlier in the season, but still going strong. (You can see the all spent blooms.)...See MoreIdentify type of Camellia
Comments (11)doesn't look quite right for 'shishi gashira' except for the color to me but i suppose cultivars can be somewhat variable by site. some of our members' flowers of the same cultivar presented at our annual camellia club show can vary even more noticeably. for your specimen, in particular, the size and arrangement of the stamens appear too long and i see no leaf serrations. pics of my plant of 'shishi' seen below. flowers are large compared to leaves although the flowers are only approx. 2" wide. still, should be a c. sasanqua; maybe tom's suggestion....See Moredfaustclancy
