New rose gardener-in search of advice
Comments (7)I'm not sure what colors you are looking for, but from your list, I assume you like modern roses--hybrid teas and floribundas. In hybrid teas, you might consider Double Delight--one of the most popular HTs--creamy white with bright red edges--quite dramatic. Or if you like the fuller look of floribundas, a similar colored one is Cherry Parfait--produces lots of blooms. Another great hybrid tea, but on the cooler side, is Elina-creamy white with a hint of yellow in the center. A cooler floribunda I like is my new Easter Basket--has more of that "frilly" look that Our Lady of Guadalupe exhibits, but Easter Basket is creamy white with pale pink flushes sometimes, pale yellow flushes other times, sometimes all three colors at once--very delicate and subtle colorings. Maybe you need to explore other types of roses also--like shrubs. I adore my Molineux (a David Austin shrub)--has the old-fashioned look, but is modern. It produces blooms in the yellow range, sometimes with peachy or creamy shades mixed in. I have it growing in the "cottage garden" part of my gardens, and it looks great there. Without knowing more about what you want in your roses, that is the best I can come up with right now. Hope that is helpful. Kate...See MoreEverythings Coming Up Roses in New UC Davis Test Garden
Comments (4)"All-America Rose Selections runs one of the world's most challenging horticultural testing programs, intended to improve the disease resistance, ease of care and beauty of roses," said Deborah Golino, executive director of the new test garden and director of UC Davis Foundation Plant Services. She noted that this testing program brought to the forefront some of the most popular roses in history, such as Peace, Knock Out and Bonica. HAHA, in California? Peace is one of the worst bs magnets ever. Maybe they should have a test garden where roses actually get blackspot....See MoreSearching for pale pink old garden rose
Comments (21)I got an answer from Ohio state. Here it is: "I am the person in charge of the Rose Garden here at the OARDC. I have been forwarded your message and I am happy to say that I can answer your question. The rose on the page that you sent is called �New Dawn.� It grows very well for us here and we have it on all the fences. I hope that helps and have a great day! Kelly King" I was afraid of that. New Dawn DOES match the description of my rose very closely, as many have proposed in this forum. That's what prompted me to buy a New Dawn a few years ago, but it is not the same rose. New Dawn has a definite climbing habit, in fact it grew well all over our pergola, whereas the one I'm searching for had a bush habit, albeit with some arching canes suggesting that maybe it COULD be a climber. (My New Dawn was lovely but it didn't make it through one of our harsher winters, so I don't have it any more.) The fragrance of New Dawn, for one thing, does not match the fragrance of the one I'm searching for, for it had a much stronger fragrance. I'll try to come up with the other differences I found, as I can't remember them all right now. Perhaps I should pursue roses in the heritage/lineage of New Dawn? Ideas anyone?...See MoreGrand Dame in hot & humid ?
Comments (32)Been a busy, busy summer so I've been a bit MIA on the forum and just seeing this. I shovel pruned Perfume Delight this year due to it's horrible bs resistance here in hot, steamy Alabama. I still grow Grand Dame, Peter Mayle & Electron...all about equally bs resistant here...will get some bs in my low spray garden, but not too bad. I'm working to replace my worst bs offenders in an attempt to go no spray. I'm hopeful Grand Dame will be fine without any spraying since it is a favorite rose of mine...much prefer it over Electron or Peter Mayle. Electron blooms at least as much as GD for me (which is a lot), but not much fragrance to my nose and excessively thorny. Peter Mayle has great fragrance and a great cut flower, but not as prolific a bloomer and very tall, stiff, HT habit with blooms mostly up top...GD is very tall, too, but a much prettier bush. I like the old fashioned bloom form of GD, but if you prefer high centered, PM has huge HT type flowers. Electron has big, HT form blooms, as well, but not as huge as PM's. Neither PM or Electron's blooms nod, whereas, GD has some that nod and some that face upward. It took GD a few years to get strong enough canes to support all her blooms...I no longer have to add support for them. Here are all three in September after weeks on end of temps in high 90s/low 100s: Grand Dame Peter Mayle Electron...See Morekentucky_rose zone 6
