Delbard roses for zone 5?

Most of the Delbard's are being grown sucessfully in Canada. In France their test fields regularly get to around 5 Far. They have also been growing them in Moscow for the last 3-4 years. As with most roses the yellower ones will be more tender than the others. Hope this helps.

Anyone grow Delbard roses (like Dames de Chenonceau)?
Q
Comments (35)
Dames de Chenonceau my absolute favorite rose. I have 2. One is in a huge pot and its about 3.75 feet tall and wide. It shrugs off disease and always has the largest most sumptuous blooms that last well in the vase as well as on the bush. I also have one in the ground that has stayed about the same size except for a few long canes that shot out to about 10 feet tall and I draped them over an arbor that was close by. These giant canes bloomed more often than the rest of the plant. Had I wanted to keep it compact I would have just pruned the down, but I love this rose so much I let it grow and will continue to let it grow as much as it wants. I would like to grow more Delbards as most of the ones I have tried have been great. Nahema for instance is another wonderful rose and has also done very well for me. I am hoping the nematodes don't ever get to either of these roses because they are both in the ground, but I keep them growing in lots of organic matter so hopefully they will stay far away.

Can someone give me the details on 'Delbard' roses
Q

All you need to know is, "the delbard rose" is another class of roses. You've got David Austin roses - which usually associate with "English" roses. Here, the Delbard roses - associate with the "French" roses and is bred by the Delbard family. There are about 3 main groups of the Delbard roses: 1) "The Delbard Painters Collections" Most roses in this section are named after some famous painters like Henri Matisse, Camille Pisarro etc. The flowers tend to have stripes - which does in fact looks like it has being painted on. 2)Delbard Couture Collection - don't really know much about them. All I know is, they don't have stripes, and the colours of the flowers tend to be dazzling. I'm thinking of getting Carmagnole - a new 2007 release. 3)Delbard Grand Parfums Collection - here you have strong perfume roses such as dioressence, souvenir de louis amade etc. Again, no stripes. 4)Delbard Rose de Libertie Collection - no scent - but masses of bloom. ie. paris 2000. This is Carmagnole - from the Couture collection - new release.

Delbard roses in Florida
Q
Comments (5)
I'm not in Florida, but my area is hot and humid and thunderstormy in the summer, so our summers are somewhat similar. I grow Juliette Greco and Pierre Gagnaire. They are more disease-resistant than Austins, I'd say. PG is bulletproof, and JG only gets minor bouts of BS. They are both very vigorous. The thing I notice most is that they are both so much taller than the listings say they should be. They are both pretty huge and could be used as climbers. PG is slower to build back up again, but Juliette goes right back to being a climber after being pruned short. PG tries to set his gorgeous hips from the 1st flush on, so he also requires deadheading to keep up the really good blooming. I leave the late-season hips! They are fat and pretty :)

Keep trying because they're fabulous. My daughters bought me three for Christmas, from Mitre 10. They were expensive, but they're the biggest, lustiest things you'll see. They're probably four times the size they were. Madame Bovary, which you can't get anywhere else, has grown particularly well.
I tried to get more in February, but the shops had let them go and they really looked awful.
Good luck.

I have seen Delbard Roses in Kmart garden centres,they are supplies by Rankins Roses. They have a good selection.In Melbourne the one I find really good is the Kmart Garden Centre in Chadstone,next to Megamart cnr Warrigal and Waverley Rds.
Hope this is helpful

Went down to Nar Nar Goon for their Garden Open Day this weekend past and despite the wind and the rain ... had a saunter through their rose fields. They had some of their 2005 new releases on show and sale ... Grand Nord in particular caught my eye .... lovely BIG version of Our Vanilla ... great for bridal bouquets.

They are also selling a whole range of standard Delbards this year ... I'm wondering how to fit in a row of standard Henri Matisses in my small front garden patch ... hmmm.

Staff were friendly and helpful and the talk by Andrew Simpson was informative and humorous. Did anyone else go visit?

I saw the Delbard exhibition at the Melbourne Flower and Garden show today. It was wonderful. I took some photos but it is not digital so I dont know how to post
them. There were some sensational roses there.The Delbard/Rankins exhibit had Chartreuse de Parme and the guy said I could order a bush through Kmart.
I think I will. All the other Delbards were breathtaking.
I bought a Best Friend-totally excited about it. The perfume is a knockout.
The show was wonderful if anyone is thinking of going. It will be hot and crowded but it was a treat.

For those who were blown away by "Red Intuition" .... I was informed by a Delbard's staff member that there's a strong possibility that it will be released for sale in the 2006 season ... hooray!!
