Pauline, It is a weeping Fuschia Meidiland. It has tons of flowers in April. It's branches have "weeped" to the ground in years past, but I pruned it back a bit this year. I am hoping to find a Scarlet Meidiland, with red flowers. I picked this one up in California one year, when I was over there. That particular grower did not ship. Margaret

I love standards - I have had lots but have diminished through many reasons, frost in the early days, deer devistation in later years and in between three whole heavey heads snapped off in heavey snow. I still have in the front, high standards as you are describing 5'. Two Flower CArpet and two Pearl Mediland(sp) I had four flower carpet - (one left) it was the weight of the snow that got them. Had four Crysler Imperial, frost got them and four double delight, deer saw them off, one is hanging in - should have moved it to the deerfenced back and it would have stood a chance. I find the higher standards, 5'0" as opposed to 3'6" are just about out of deer reach, so I actually can have them in the front as long as I start taking better care of them. Harrumph! When you first talked of weeping standards Jacqueline, I thought you were talking about the older ones where rambling roses are budded on to them, like Dorothy Perkins then there is a white one similar. I craved for years for these, but since having Dorothy Perkins as a rambler over a rose arch, I do not think I could ever entetain her again. It has been the worst blackspotter in my whole rose life. So that put me off having those standars with the great height of 6'0" - but they look gorgeous in photgraphs. Have fun picking out your new standards and success in ordering them. I know I want some more badly which will be happily planted in our deer-free back garden! Pauline - Vancouver Island

Hi, Friends, This is many years later.... but I ordered a Pink Weeping Tree Rose from Direct Gardens. ( same rose tree photo as Burpee, H Wesley and a lot of nurseries all connected. I researched and it appears it may be “Aloha, Climbing. ( Boerner bred) rose grafted on a tree root stem. I live in 6b zone. It grew very vigorously, very fragrant, beautiful, hardy, and Its been in ground for now its 2nd winter. It was beautiful for blooms after 1 year this summer 2020. They have same @Pink Weeping Tree Rose photo on Ad this year 2021 in all catalogs and on websites. I am very happy with it. I am hoping I named it correctly as “Aloha,” since they won’t identify name. Direct-Gardening photo for Ad, but my rose that I ordered from them doesn’t look like this photo or fit it’s description as a “mini grafted bush.) My Pink Weeping Tree Rose ordered from Direct-Gardening looks like my photos below... 5inch huge diameter blooms, glossy leaves, vigorous growing of course because it has been grafted from a climber. I still need to stake it this spring. I expect it to grow large since it’s from a climber.. It would be more hardy than a Weeping Tree rose with mini roses on it. Weeping Tree roses are either grafted from a climber or ground cover rose. For those of us with snow zones 6, 5, 4 and colder I would look for hardy varieties of Weeping Tree roses. I have a Wedding Dress Tree Rose, with mini white blooms, but it does well on side of home, it’s warmer and blocked from wind. A butterfly bush is next to it giving it more shelter. I find foliage of other plants give them protection in winter, too. I just have good mulch around it’s roots and that is it. I find my whole garden bed next to home gets less snow and is warmer on this sunny side. Great place for my roses.

Hurray for HoovB and JeffAurora with their gorgeous tree roses... I hope my very young tree roses will someday be like theirs... Peggy, yes, fertilizing is very important with hybrid tea roses... You see with floribunda tree roses and the weeping ones (smaller roses) what you'll get is constant color drama, whereas hybrid teas need alfalfa/sea tea types of mixtures to encourage them to have a full lush thick growth instead of the lanky hybrid tea shape and they need those nice organic nutrients to produce more and more blooms...Usually hybrid teas are only repeat bloomers with distinct flushes unlike many floribundas...so you need the organic fertilizers to bring out faster blooming and a healthier tree rose... Also you have to consider a tree rose that is suited to your climate...If you have harsh, glaring scorching sun, it can impact your tree rose as well. Our sun in the Midwest is a scorcher, very intense! and we get roasting heat, but Gemini still holds up its hybrid tea form very well. Not many hybrid teas can. Susan4952, heee-hee! please! post your Tamora. I've never seen a Tamora tree rose! my lopsided crazy tree rose pics should put you at ease... I'm not a bit ashamed of them because this is their first growing season, even though they look ridiculous compared to JeffAurora's and HoovB, LOL! and Susan, it's time for YOU! to make meeeee look ridiculous too... Redsox, with Zone 5 & 6 you can't plant outside unless you bury the whole thing underground. You have to keep them in pots and inside the garage. Even March is too early to keep completely outdoors (you have to bring them in and out) My Gemini was a miracle survivor of a huge ice storm in March 2009 (when I bought it) but I had to dig the whole thing out of the ground and stick it into a pot/indoors... My Gemini tree rose was my very first grown rose! and I nearly killed it (that was when I found our forum because of that catastrophe)...but as you can what a blessing to have it survive and bloom.
