Musaboru, I have 3 Wedding Cake roses on their own root from Burlington. I was warned that they probably wouldn't do as well on their own root as grafted but I wanted the own root anyway. I probably ordered them two years ago, got them 9 months later, potted them up in one gallon (they were very tiny) and had to wait another year before they were big enough to put in the ground. So far, they are doing OK. They still are small (less than 2 feet tall and less than a foot wide) but I think they will do better their second year in the ground. That said, they handle the heat well and have interesting color variations on the flowers depending on how long they have been on the plant. I get lots of compliments on them. If they were bigger, I would send you cuttings. I have had very good luck with cuttings from Ralph Moore roses. Lavendar Crystal is one of my favorites. Just stick a cane in the ground and it will grow. Love that rose. It is a beauty.

This is an incredible rose. Here in Atlanta, it is still blooming beautifully in late september! I found it at a Home Depot or at Lowe's and was smitten by its perfume. It is in a container right now and not even in full sun, and is blooming day after day. When you walk past it, you can smell it. It is gorgeous. I was nervous because we do have a lot of issues with roses due to the high humidity here, and other than the knockout roses, long blooming roses in Georgia are a bit of a gamble. This one really got me by surprise and is amazing!

Malcolm, It's been a few years since I had AC. I do recall the flowers being a bit larger than OB, but otherwise so similar that I couldn't justify the room to grow both. And I admit to a fondness for OB simply because it was the first old rose I grew, not to mention its historical significance. My current OB plants were cuttings I rustled from an abandoned house in my neighborhood. Luckily I was able to take several cuttings before they bulldozed the house and the rose for rebuilding. I wanted to cry--that rose was huge. The base was like a tree trunk and it was a good 12 feet tall and around. Must've been there for years, pumping out the blooms despite neglect. Oddly, I've grown both OB and Cl. OB (which for me was always once blooming) and I found the flowers on Cl OB to more closely resemble the size of those on AC. Maybe it's because it bloomed in the spring when it was cooler, I can't say. It's odd that the climbing version is once-blooming, much like that of SDLM. I never had problems with balling on Cl SDLM, whereas the bush version balled badly in spring here. Still wouldn't be without her, though.

Ok, that did it, Ben, I'm sold. I'd forgotten about Distant Drums being in it's bloodline. I remember seeing a photo of Rosie where it was very apparent that DD was in there. I might go ahead and get the own root while I search for a grafted one at the nurseries in town. There's a chance it won't like my winters. Northland is trialing it in their gardens this year. Grafted is probably the safer way to go. That second photo looks like a florist bouquet of a baker's dozen, at least. Such a pretty combination of pinks and yellows. Thanks for the extra photos! I would still like to have La Park and a stronger Crazy Love.

Am I wrong in assuming that this is a picture of more than one Penang Peach? I fell in love with PP. At the time, I only had PP, DSP, and Divine. It had such an impact on me, I bought another, and even took a cutting off of one of my trees, so I could have 3! Sadly, the cutting never rooted. No wonder why I love Elsie so much!

These pictures made my night! I doubt either of my PP trees will bloom :(

Nice! What's the fragrance like? I've kept my collection in check by only going after the super fragrant ones. (I say that knowing that I'm going to have to wait another year or two to smell any of mine.) :D

Good question about the fragrance. In years past it seemed more fragrant. These days mild fruity, floral. It has excellent keeping quality. Very durable. Compact.

I agree Pat!!

Mine is more fragrant his year .. My other tree that bloomed early in the season didn't have the fragrance. I think the deeper blooms have a better Scent. It smells better at night because Mother Nature want to attract the natural pollinators.

Mine today...

My Paul Weissich is changing again.. It was deep then went light, now it going deep again. It crazy how one day can change the coloration!!!

Take care. Love your tree!! It's gorgeous!!!
