Name That Rose!

Bewildered

14 years ago

Last year my 3yr old grandaughter unlabeled my roses. Most of them were 2 to 3 year old OGR cuttings. Would appreiate help in identifying them if possible.

Here's one: http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh52/judico_2000/?action=view&current=a0a06ae4.jpg

After photographing this rose yesterday, I began weeding around it and notices it was on it's side, so you are not getting an upright view. Late this evening after it rained, all blooms were deep red. Foilage is glossy.

OOps. Here is correct URL. Droopy pink roses in back are not a part of the rose bush I'm trying to id.

The key is knowing which seeds need cold stratification to germinate. You can cold stratify any number of ways, one way includes using the refrigerator, another way would be directly sowing outdoors, or winter sowing in jugs... If you just put seeds under the lights or wait until its warm, the seeds that need cold stratification won't germinate... You could directly sow them outdoors now, and just wait until next spring for those to germinate, (providing they don't get eaten by critters between now and then).

The Case of the Missing Philodendron Roots
Q
Comments (6)
So after some digging around (pardon the pun) I think I might have found my answer! From http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Grow%20or%20Growing%20Philodendrons.html -- "In nature most Philodendron species live on the trunks or branches of trees and do not need soil to survive. Those tree dwelling species are known as epiphytes or hemiepiphytes and are plants that live upon another plant ... Relatively few Philodendron species grow in rain forest soil and are truly terrestrial plants although a few species are consistently terrestrial (...) Both epiphytic and hemiepiphytic plants drop long roots to dangle in the air in order to collect rain water. Take a walk in any rain forest and you'll be amazed at the "vines" hanging from the branches that are often nothing more than roots!l" So at some point, my intrepid philodendron must've gotten dislodged from the soil (I've knocked it over while vacuuming a couple of times, and it also got neglected and dried out in a darkened corner for a few weeks) but was perhaps continuing to live because I resumed watering its long aerial roots that trailed into the half empty pot. The white stuff I'm fairly convinced was evaporated salts, etc. At any rate, I'll repot the cuttings in fresh potting soil and make sure to pay more attention in the future. --L

I don't grow freesias being out of that zone, but there is no doubt that you should plant them now. No plant thrives on dry storage. You should probably plant them and water them in to eliminate air pockets and then let them live on natural rainfall till they start to grow. If they can't make it on natural rainfall or can't tolerate rainfall, then they are not suitable for your area.

If you want something very plain and simple, then get a ceramic or porcelain top with an integrated sink. Here is one from Home Depot. We didn't get ours there - but I am very happy with something similar. Looks great, cleans like a dream and available in different sizes.

Does it bloom once or multiple flushes? How much scent does it have. How big are the blooms?

It looks like Dr. Huey to me personally, my neighbor has one and it looks very much like it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Dr. Huey HMF link

Hi Osromatra,
Grew rose from a cutting and this is first year it bloomed so don't know blooming habits yet. I have a Dr. Huey. This is similar in color to Dr. Huey, but blooms are about the same size but flater, and foilage is a little brighter green, leaves are more round on tips, and slightly smaller, but similar to Dr. Huey.

Maybe it is Raymond Chenault?

I have a rose that people often think may be a Kordesii, and this one looks very similar to your's. Is it old enough though I wonder?

Thanks Osromatra. This one looks closer than Dr. Huey. Will keep the url for reference and check more when rain quits. What do you mean by "is it old enough"? If you mean by how long this rose has been around, the people I have gotten most of my cuttings from have had most of their roses for decades.

I just meant that it's not technically an OGR, if that is what you are sure your's is.

We seem to be in the same zone- is the rain destroying your roses too? Mine are just shattered completely each night. so sad. :( I waited so long for their first bloom and it's pretty much been wasted on the rain. Plus side though, I haven't had to water my other stuff that I've just planted! :)

Smiling. I have a mix it seems of OGR's and other. Yes, most of my roses are drooping now, from so much rain. Tmw is suppose to be a good day (but some clouds) and I'm anxious to get out as much as I'm able. I'm in NC.

While looking through my new book, I found another that resembles this rose. Champlain. It's another Kordesii and it appears to have slightly round leaves. Here is the HMF link.

Really appreciate your interest to help. You have given me something to work with when weather and time permit.
Thank you.
