Oh goody, Christmas rose lust is here! I really like Fall Festival. Claude Monet will be mine someday, I hope.
Thanks Beth, what a great surprise.

Berries and Cream is aptly named, very pretty. I really like George Burns, Fourth of July, and Flirtatious, they all are very beautiful Beth. Thanks for sharing, it's another overcast day here, been raining this morning and off and on yesterday and the day before so seeing bright cheering roses is extra special nice:) Leslie

Reblooming stripes?
Q

I like Scentimental, too. It is a huge bush, but it does blackspot in my garden badly if not sprayed. It is one of the first to suffer if my spray program goes awry. The other drawback is that the blooms blow quickly, but there are constantly new ones coming on, so the bush is never without flower. The big plus, for me, besides being striped, is that it is highly fragrant. You might also try Tropical Sunset, and Cabana. They are both salmon/yellow stripes.

Many yrs ago I had a grafted one that didn't stripe. A friend had gotten a grafted one from the same nursery, and it did stripe. She rooted a cutting for me, and it has remained striped all the time. I've had it for over 10yrs. Love it! I would give that own root a chance. I think it may possibly just need some time to mature in order to keep the striping. It'll just be a waiting game I suppose. But if you find in the second blooming that it still hasn't shown the stripes, I would contact RVR and send pics, and just let them know that it might not end up striping. I'm sure they would replace it. I have been dabbling in growing roses from open-pollinated hip seeds, and a couple of them are striped roses. But the initial blooming and sometimes the second bloomings did not show much striping at all. By summer the striping comes on in full force. One in particular, a seedling of BROADWAY that grows near a bed of several stripeys, does this every yr so far. It's still pretty small, but I think once it becomes a big, established plant, it will show stripes all the time.

I grow Ferdinand Pichard (only a two-year old bush at present), but so far am well pleased. Most sources say it is a Hybrid Perpetual, though, not a Bourbon. The blooms are on the smaller side of Modern Roses...more like the size of a V. di Bologna but the red parts of Ferdinand is more red than VDB. I can't comment yet on the repeat bloom...bush isn't mature yet. It does seem to be doing well with blackspot this year and it was labeled an outstanding rose for disease resistance in the Montreal Botanical Gardens trials of a decade ago.

Thanks everyone. I was walking around the garden with my husband last night. Even he was commenting about how great the roses look. I think because the last 2 years I have been redoing almost everything. And my whole yard was dug up for construction and I had to move a lot of roses and wound up with a lot of new space. So I have about 170 roses. This is the first year that most of them have been in the ground over a year and will bloom well. It should be a sight to see! I haven't planted the r/w bed yet. I'm getting a soil test done. I am testing 3 beds, the new one, another newish one and one of my oldest beds. I'm curious to see what the results are. Especially the two newer ones that are from the construction and have lots of back fill in them, and gravel. Oh, and the Olympiad I bought in Lowes is not Olympiad. It's some pinkish rose. Another mislabeled body bag :( towandazz, I have Leda and I love her. I planted her two years ago, but this year she put on a lot of size and is blooming well. Here is a pic

How do you compare George Burns with Scentimental?

Abracadabra, Claude Monet, and George Burns get my vote! Thanks for the look!

Beautiful roses,Beth,I love that Abracadabra.Hope to have that one one day.My George Burns was a blooming fool this past summer.Its in a pot and I am going to move it into a bigger pot this spring.My roses seem to to do much better in pots.I have my 4th of July in a HUGE pot,too with intentions of keeping it at about 5 ft tall.The deer thought 3 ft was better.

Thanks you guys!
Carol, GEORGE BURNS blooms more and has prettier blooms than SCENTIMENTAL. And I don't very often detect much scent in "SCENT"IMENTAL!
Jean, most of my roses end up doing better once they get in the ground, but I do have a few that were much happier when they were in pots. And those darn DEER!! They do love to help us prune, don't they?!

Beth, what is the bush habit of Festival Fanfare? I have a young Sally Holmes, and so far she's a one cane wonder. She produced a huge halo of blooms at the top, it was pretty but not very rose-ish. Is FF's growth habit pleasing?

I would love to grow it in my garden.

Cheers,
Michelle

Michelle, FESTIVAL FANFARE grows tall and lanky. It's often listed as a climber. Mine peaks out about 6-7ft.

Thanks. Do you remember where yours came from? I don't remember seeing it listed for sale anywhere.

Cheers,

Yep, I remember Michelle. Got it many yrs ago from Vintage Gardens. It's own-root. You can also get it from Roses Unlimited (own-root) and Hortico (grafted on Multiflora). And I believe Lorene at Moore's Roses carries it under the codename "Blestogil." Hers will also be own-root.
