A new Aussie Old Fashioned Roses magazine

18 years ago

Hello All,

I was in my newsagent the other day looking for my Gardening Aust mag and I came across this magazine/book which is brilliant, it has cover to cover photos and run downs of old roses available in Australia.

Old Fashioned Roses by James Young and only $9.99.

Look out Lozza!!! All these beautiful old roses I have never heard of before I will be asking you for in next years order : )

Cheers,

Brissy

I couldn't resist either - gorgeous photos - anything like that on the shelf just automatically climbs into my pile at the checkout. My front hall table is groaning under the weight of the past ones.

Here are some links to view the one I have growing along my lattace. I am currently rooting knockout rose and another scarlet colored climbing rose but I have yet to identify the species because it was here when I bought the house but it does resemble Red Blaze... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1749741587935.2089590.1370718698#!/photo.php?fbid=1749743947994&set=a.1749741587935.2089590.1370718698&type=1&theater http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1745771248679.2089336.1370718698#!/photo.php?fbid=1759175823785&set=a.1745771248679.2089336.1370718698&type=1&theater

Most of North American species spread by suckering, so given time you will have more plants. Sometimes a lot more plants. Suckers were probably what you were given originally. It can be pruned to shape any time during the summer. A lot of us do the major pruning on once bloomers in early spring. It isn't something to really stress over because if you goof, the rose will get over it, and you can try again. It may take a year or two, but it will work out.

Taoseeker- I am thinking about trying a Yolande d'Aragon hybrid perpetual. Other people in the area have had good success with this rose, even with the cold winters. I'd love to try a Jacques Cartier, but I want to check at Northland Rosarium to see if it's recommended for our zone. Mariannese- Wow! You have 36 Gallicas? Do you have any pics of your garden? I'd love to see them. I would like to try a Charles de Mills, which is supposed to be pretty cold hardy and maybe a Tuscany and Apothecary rose. Isabelle- I showed my husband the picture of your grape arbor and table and chairs. I have wanted to do something similar in our back yard, maybe with my antique bricks underneath. He likes the bricks, but didn't really know what I wanted. After seeing your picture, he thinks it would be a great idea! Yea! and thanks :)

Yeah, at that price if there's even just a few interesting roses in this book (avail.in Oz) I'll probably have to go for the impulse buy too.James might have to buy a bigger wallet if all the rose lunatics on these Aussie forums are any indication of the market for such a book.Hope I can manage to spot it at our newsagent!

Which newsagent was it? I haven't seen that magazine before. Did you also know that the next issue of Gardening Australia has a feature on roses? I can't wait for mine to arrive in the mail.

Just ask yours to order it in for you if they haven't got it.
There are 3 others by the author James Young which a wonderful.

Good luck
