Holà , Nadine! Ici dans ma fraîche Belgique, je viens de récolter tous mes cynorhodons -15 jours d'avance cette année-. Inutile d'attendre jusqu'en Décembre que les oiseaux les mangent... A propos des "déchets", des "chétifs", je ne partage pas non plus l'avis des "pros", qui, il est vrai, n'ont ni beaucoup de temps ni assez de place. Je ne jette jamais un semis, même noir de Marsonia, chétif, mal formé etc, avant quelques années. En effet, des fleurs diformes peuvent devenir superbes sur une plante de trois ans, mieux "musclée" pour les nourrir ; une sensibilité aux maladies est le plus souvent l'indice d'une préférence pour des conditions de culture particulières (mi-ombre, sol frais, ou le contraire). A l'hybrideur amateur de les découvrir! J'ai pour l'instant un semis issu d'une reconstitution -supposée- du croisement qui a donné "Géant des batailles". C'est un petit truc rikiki, 11 centimètres de haut, tout blanc d'oidium tout l'été (plus rien maintenant), des folioles de 0,5 Cm de long....et des fleurs minuscules, semi-doubles, noires, oui, vraiment noires avec des reflets bruns, et des étamines jaunes qui ressortent d'autant plus. Et du parfum! le désespoir du parfumeur, bien que pour l'instant je l'appelle "Dracula" (humour belge). N'importe quel pro flanquerait celà au compost dans la seconde ; pour ma part, je vais le bichonner ququ années avant toute décision, rien que pour cette couleur et ce parfum. Et ce temps me permettra de savoir où et comment le cultiver pour éviter l'oidium! Bien amicalement, Pete.

J'ai planté Coupe d'Hébé sur une pergola au printemps 2006, en juin il me donnait une brassée de roses couleur fuschia, très parfumées, et le courageux petit rosier n'avait que quelques mois et même pas 80 cm de haut! il est en plein soleil, sud-sud-est. Sur le mur plein est, j'ai Pierre de Ronsard, bien sûr, à se demander qui ne l'a pas, il a poussé en une année à 3 mètres de haut et reste très touffu de la base. Il n'est pas parfumé, au fait! Pas de pucerons, même avec Mme Alfred Carrière qui en permet un véritable élevage juste à côté (blanc rosé, celui-là , Pascal). Mon Ronsard est très florifère, très remontant, un plaisir de jardinier amateur comme moi, et en plus j'adore le côté joufflu et dodu de ses fleurs. Par contre, n'oublions pas une chose importante: certains rosiers sont ravissants, du genre New Dawn (très à la mode aussi) mais il est couvert d'épines terriblement agressives! idéal pour les haies dissuasives, à abolir s'il y a du passage ou des petits enfants.

This time last year, found myself digging & potting established garden beds next to the house in an intensive effort to preserve plants from a small crew tasked with tearing off & replacing our large & complex roof (storm damage). Some big roses & shrubs were protected in place with scaffolds for tarps. Several hundred plants, along with 60 or so roses, were parked on rows of landscape fabric pinned to the ground & the overflow tucked beneath trees for the duration. Planned to replant them come Spring, but an unusually wet & dreary season prevented working our clay based soil. A two week window of sun & drying ground allowed progress on that plan before unusually high temps struck & continued unabated from mid-June through mid-September. Back to the drawing board, basically ran a temporary nursery throughout the season. New experience for me on that scale with its own learning curve. Usually bring in more roses over the Summer to grow on in pots before planting out, and this year was no exception despite the exceptional circumstances. Seems my Rose Fever accelerated with the heat. So, along the way, I've doubled the number of roses with which I began. Within the last two weeks, these new roses arrived, with more scheduled for the coming week. From A Reverence for Roses, run by a delightful couple who send very well grown & developed bands that grow by leaps & bounds, judging by a prior order (2 Reve d'Or, Aloha & Belinda's Dream): bands of Cato's Cluster - Cornelia - Setzer Noisette - Mme. Caroline Testout, Climbing (2) - Pink Perpetue (2) - Rhode Island Red (2). Total shipping USPS 2-day only $16.65 for 2 boxes & sale 8 bands for $70. From Brushwood, who recently began shipping again: bands of Colette & Garden Sun ordered 2 months ago. From Heirloom's recent sales: gallons of Dancing in the Wind (2) - Double Delight - Highfield (2) - Lady of the Mist - Love Potion - Wedding Bells - bands of Joseph's Coat VID (2). From Northland Rosarium: bands of Colette - Rock & Roll (2). Shipping from A Reverence for Roses, ordered while sale was still on 8 for $70: bands of Aloha - Belinda's Dream - Cato's Cluster - Jaune Desprez - Papillon Rose (2) - Penelope - Pinkie, Climbing (2). In transit from Heirloom sale: gallons of Crepuscule & Portlandia (2). Haven't been this enthusiastic for many years. Succumbed to a now-or-never impulse. Here's hoping for an extended Indian Summer & great success to us all! Sue
