Paul Cezanne

18 years ago

Hi

I recently bought this rose (one of my favourites) and find that the blooms are nearly all yellow. I thought there would be pink /salmon in the blooms etc. If anyone has one, what has been your experience?

Here is a picture of mine:

I would be very leery of buying any Delbard roses if I was in zone 5. Even in an English 8, they are iffy roses, suffering horribly in a cold winter and taking forever to recover lost ground. Confession time - I am most definitely not a fan of them and grow only 1 (Nahema....and that is on the compost list) but my long-suffering neighbour persists in her love affair with unsuitable tea-noisettes and miffy HTs (latest failure - Dioressence). Maybe in a warm and sheltered spot? They are probably great roses for the south but I learned some time ago that it is essential to consider the 'place of origin' so roses bred in Lyon and other warm French locations are not going to be happy with the chill and arid fenland winds of East Anglia (a bit like Kansas, I imagine...without the summer heat). I never order from nurseries where the climate is kinder than mine either and am always curious about Californian orders from Canadian rose nurseries - how does that work out? It would surely be impossible to do this in reverse (Texas to Ontario for example)?

sorry roseforme....please don't think i'm trying to " rain on your parade"....i can only speak as a proffessional rose grower who see's the 'marketing' of roses being of more import than the roses themselves.....whilst i think that the vast majority of new release roses are either re-inventing the wheel or rubbish....i still advise people NOT to listen to cranky rose growers and buy something you like and give them a go.....if it's something you LOVE...then who cares if it costs 20 $$$ or more!......better a rose than a pack of smokes?!.......be advised that i still get a kick out of someone that sees a perfect bloom of say...double delight...for the first time...so please roseforme....love your roses.....tony

Hi, I have 3 Paul Cezanne growing together in group. The proportion of salmon and yellow colour of each is very different. Even though the colour and pattern of each flower are different, all 3 bushes of mine tends to be more salmon than yellow and only the one of them constant produce flower that looks nice/with the right balance/mix and pattern. I bought mine last winter wihtout flowers and was quite disappointed with the inconsistent of quality when they flower. There is little variation of colour of flowers during cool or hot temp. I suspect the inconsistant of colour of flowers from one plant to another is a fault/characteristic of Paul Cezanne OR yours may be another case of wrong label. Sorry can't help. Happy gardening.

Michelle, have a look at brindabella-gardens.com.au
for some great pictures of the Delbards. Paul Cezanne is on there with a good explanation of its colouring.
Regards, Shane.

feline- i think there is some pink on the way in the new blooms .Interesting that you have 3 and its disappointing that there is such inconsistency.
Well ,just have to wait and see. Maybe when the bush becomes established the colours maybe better next season.
It will be very disappointed if it is predominately yellow.
Shane-I will have a look at the site you suggested with pleasyre.Thanks for the link.
cheers
