Pink rebloomer? Lots of pictures!

17 years ago

Here are pictures of a pink rebloomer in my yard. I have no idea of what it is. It is fragrant, although not overwhelmingly so. It has done okay even after a bunny attack during last winter.

It reminds me alot of my Queen Elizabeth.

Here is a picture of her outside my bedroom window, it is about 7 feet tall.

Sorry, that is the only pic I have of her.

Hey I am pretty sure this is a Queen Elizabeth rose. I rehabbed my MIL's rose garden..she is quite ill. She could not remember what it was and I looked it up..Sure looks like Queenie to me!

Do pinks rebloom for you?
Q

Several years ago, I planted some perennial dianthus seed (the small, about 1/2" flowers), and bought some annual plants (the "typical" 1-1/2, flat flowers). -- sorry, I can't remember the botanical names anymore. Most of the annuals I still have, and they bloom on & off all year long. I ruthlessly dig them up to move them around whenever I feel like it. Sometimes I shear them way back, which I'm really NOT supposed to do, according to what I've read, but I find the foliage gets a little sad looking a few times a year. I recently dug up about 8 or 9 of the worse looking plants, and potted them, leaving the two best in my rearranged bed. Most of the ones in pots seem to be very pleased with the move, and are growing like crazy. None of the "perennial" came back after the first year, during which they never really performed well. I bought two perennial plants (the scented varieties) a couple months ago, one died after about 3 weeks, the other is not reblooming, even thought it's been cut back.

You can search for daylilies using most criteria on Tinker's online daylily database. Once you find cultivars you are interested in, use a search engine to see who carries it with a search like daylily + "cultivar name" or you can go through websites for commercial growers that tend to have a lot of plants to choose from. And don't forget the Lily Auction. You can search by cultivar name in both open & closed auctions to see who sells the plant you want, then contact the seller. If it was a closed auction you can ask if they have more or if they will point you to their website to make an order. Tinkers and the AHS online database both list all registered cultivars and many are not in commerce today so you'll want to do this second step. The question about mixed perennial borders or separate mass daylily beds has come up now and again. I think you'll find people here who do both (some in the same landscape) and it's pretty close to 50/50 split. Both options are beautiful. I think it depends on how much you want the individual plants to stand out & steal the show or the mass effect of a full bed in bloom... and also how much room you have. Both options are beautiful.

I just received an order from Paul Owen. What a fun guy to deal with and extremely generous! He was lamenting the fact that his soil was too rich- too much phosphate and he was going to re-do it with less organics. He thought some of the fans he sent would be bigger in "regular" garden soil. I can't wait to see his beauties in my garden especially after your comments.

Heather - I have had many Florida-bred daylilies that only increase to three or four fans over the years. I think it may be climate related. They probably multiply like crazy there. I also have a late blooming Reckamp I love, Techny Peace, that is only five fans after 13 years. It likely needs more freezing winter temps than it gets here. For some, like Symphony of Praise and Great White offspring, slow multiplying is genetic. Debra

Hey, thanks!

Do you think I need to bow to the Queen?

The flower certainly looks like the Queen but as a floribunda it usually has a small spray of flowers which I dont see in these pictures. These buds are on long stems like a Hybrid Tea.

For jackied...

'Queen Elizabeth' isn't a floribunda. It is actually a grandiflora. I believe, it was the first rose to ever have that classification.

Grandifloras grow more like Hybrid Teas than floribundas. They tend to make large blooms on long canes, just like HT's; but grandifloras will make rather nice sprays from time to time as well.

It has been many years, since I grew both QE and Climbing QE; but these blooms do sorta look like that old girl. The bush plant of QE does make loads of long-stemmed blooms, but they tended to open to fast for me. I was focusing on show roses at the time, and there were other pinks that were winning the trophies back in the 70's, so both QE and Climbing QE got shovel pruned.

Years later, a Queen of Show QE was the talk of the day. Everyone said the same thing, "That rose deserved to win Best in Show, because none of us has been able to grow one that looked that good and could get our blooms of 'Queen Elizabeth' to last long enough for judging." Most blooms of QE will open up very quickly, once they are cut from the bush and placed in water. The warmth of your home or show room will only push them open faster.
