GORGEOUS looking roses and the foliage is so healthy looking. THANKS for sharing with us and hope to see more soon.

Beautiful!

Is Tangerine Jewel a mini? It looks wonderful! Also, does Incantation maintain it's speckles for you? That looks really pretty!
I wish MY burgundy iceberg was a hot weather rose; mine crisps pretty quickly. What sort of exposure is yours in? I'm wondering if mine would tolerate less hours of sun...

Thanks for sharing your lovelies!

Lara

Thank you both very much. Glad you enjoyed them.

Lara yes Tangerine Jewel is a mini by Ralph Moore. I have enjoyed it having it in the garden. It and another Moore rose Twilight Skies have been outstanding little growers and bloomers.

On Burgundy Iceberg it is new this season from the sale rack at Target and I have it planted in the very front of the yard facing the street. Full sun, all day. Of the other darker colors I have planted out there namely WS2000, International Herald Tribune and Francis Dubreuil so far Burgundy Iceberg has not only put out the most blooms but they have the most staying power. I love it.

Hope this helps.

Oops, forgot to answer one of your questions. That was the first bloom so far this year on Incantation so I can't really say. It is stuck in too small of a pot and was in a rather bad spot until a few weeks ago. I intend to get it in the ground when the heat breaks at which point I hope for big things:) Thanks Lara.

Kate, I love your Climbing Iceberg and Tangerine Jewel photos!

Thank you. I know people love to hate the white Icebergs but honestly there is a good reason they are so popular and over planted. On the topic of Tangerine Jewel more people need to grow that baby. A good rose.

Kate

Somehow I missed this thread. Very nice roses katefisher!

Beautiful roses Kate, I love Bergundy Iceberg, it reminds me of Intrigue but more than likely a better bush. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thanks Jim and RR. My pleasure of course to share those. I urgently need to get out into the garden tomorrow, do some deadheading, some tidying and get some more pictures.

Ramblin: After my brief experience with Burgundy Iceberg this year I would recommend it to a friend in a minute. Altogether I have three Cl. Icebergs and now BI. Very happy with them all.

Kate

Kate, thanks for posting your lovely roses. Very good photography, too.

Your roses look all very healthy and I am wondering if you spray? If you don't you have to share your secret :-)!

I also like my Icebergs, shrubs and climbers and I am not a little bit ashamed of that. I think they are outstanding roses, because they perform so reliable and are very floriferous, at least here in CA.

My Burgundy Iceberg rose is in its second year and I like the rose when it has the dark burgundy color I fell in love with, but disliked it when it became screaming pink in the heat of last summer. I threatened to shovel prune it when it turns into this color ever again. This year it didn't so far, so the rose may have gotten the message ;-. On a more serious note, since the heat has stayed the same as last year I think putting down a sulfur/iron soil conditioner has done the trick. Has your Burgundy Iceberg ever changed color to a hot pink?

OGD:

Thanks for your kinds words. I do not spray. Never have. Really no need up here in Plumas County. We have essentially no rain here all summer long and the climate is really dry. Our biggest issues are deer and neighbor kids rather than insects and fungal problems.

On Burgundy Iceberg it has been consistently purple or purplish so far. However even though we are both in CA our weather is much more mild than yours. For us 'hot' is 96 degrees. And even that is short lived. So our roses just don't get as cooked by the sun as yours do I'm sure.

Don't get me wrong I still have color change in my roses this time of year. A lot of color fading and bleaching but nothing compared to what you folks down south have to contend with.

Hope this helps.

Hey Kate! Those are some beautiful roses!! I love that pic of ICEBERG! Wish my CARAMEL ANTIKE would do something. Did you get yours this yr, or last? I got mine this yr from Palatine (I think) and it's been really slow to grow.

Hey Beth! Nice to hear from you. Can you believe how close to the end of summer we are getting? I thought I would be back up to Paradise by now but the past few months have gone by so quick it just never happened.

Glad you enjoyed the pictures. I also got Caramel Antike from Palatine in Spring of 2008. Mine did very little last year except try to die:( I had it in a pot and it hated that. So last fall I planted it in the ground and I must say this spring it looked pretty grim. More than once I went out there with my shovel to do the deed but my husband kept stopping me. I'm glad he did now. It has bloomed just okay so far this summer but I have high hopes. The plant seems healthy but a pretty finite number of blooms.

I should get another picture for you as now it showing some pink in the center of the bloom also which I love.

Have a great evening.

Kate
