Ebb Tide V. Twilight Zone
Comments (4)Hmmm. I've never seen my Twilight Zone with such a light color, even in 100 degree weather. That's too bad, Lynn. It may hold its color better when the plant gains maturity. I have three Ebb Tide roses, and one thing I've noticed is that they all have ugly growth habits with canes popping out at odd angles. TZ, being a grandiflora, has a nice, uniform shape, though mine isn't very big yet. I do love ET's color in spring and fall, but not in summer. I hope things improve with TZ's color.

Comments (1)West Coast online rose venders include Heirloom in Portland and Rogue Valley Roses in Southern Oregon. Just north of you in Petaluma is Garden Valley Ranch, the rose farm formerly owned by Ray Reddell and later bought by Ron Robinson (formerly on Gardenweb as, if I remember correctly, lemecduc, or something of the sort). Have you tried calling around to various Bay area nurseries? Most of your choices are recent introductions which are still in commerce....See MoreDark burgundy?

Comments (85)Gardening_7b I am not an expert, I just like purple and some of those are newer and small. Lol After looking at HMF, it looks like the Purple Princes are two different roses. My BPP was planted last fall so is very small, a little over a foot tall, but has bloomed and it was a medium-dark magenta so far, it seems very healthy so far. It may change when it matures. I live in z5a Wisconsin so can't comment on da "heat". We rarely get up to 95 degrees in the summer, we can get bad humidity and low 90's for 7-10 days in the summer just as -10-20 in the winter for the same number of days, 46 inches of rain per year average. :) Diane, your roses get so huge! I get some rogue canes that are 5' tall but so far nothing consistent. That Clown Prince is a very pretty rose with the variations of color. I put Ebb Tide so it gets late afternoon shade because I didn't know if it faded and the hottest time of the day here is about 4:00. We'll see what experience I get with Big Purple, it's always fun to compare with other areas of the country. :)...See Moreiris_gal
