What Roses Are You Adding This Season?
Comments (12)I'm running out of space too. But I always manage to squeeze them in somewhere!! LOL I had not intended to order this many, but I figure this is my definite last hurrah! Not only am I running out of room, I'm getting to where I can't handle the work involved in planting so many. The upkeep is also hard on my old weary aching bod! I have arthritis in my entire body, and a pinched nerve in my neck that may well incapacitate me one day. But I keep going until I can't! Here's my list: These are already here: Pickering: CREME CARAMEL LORISE CHERRY FREELANDER MUNSTEAD WOOD ReganÂs: GENTLE HERMIONE GREEN ROMANTICA SILVER STAR Hortico: RAZZLE DAZZLE ESTHER GELDENHUYS TIFTON DIGNITY Rogue Valley Roses: MR CHIPS TANTARRA TALISMAN Vintage Gardens: CORDON BLEU INTERMEZZO JOHNNIE WALKER FANCY TALK Palatine: (arrived today) CHARMANT LAGUNA THANKSGIVING ROSE BEVERLY BONANZA HOLSTEINPERLE Still to come: Pickering: ALECÂS RED FABULOUS STRAWBERRY HILL TEA CLIPPER S&W Greenhouse: PURPLE SPLASH WHITE LICORICE EASY DOES IT COLORIFIC SEDONA CHANGE OF HEART THE ENDEAVOR Rogue Valley Roses: PAMÂS CHOICE INCANTATION PERSIAN SUNSET TREASURE TRAIL MONICA "MYSTERY ROSE" Vintage Gardens: CHARIVARI COURVOISIER EdmundÂs: MEREDITH GIRLSÂ NIGHT OUT Heirloom: DISCO DANCER UNICEF NIGHT LIGHT CL MARJORIE MARSHALL J&P: DREAMWEAVER CL TEST ROSES Eurodesert Roses: BELVEDERE BIRTHDAY BOY BLUE FOR YOU BROKAT BUDATETENY FLAMBEE GILBERT BECAUD JORIANDA KIMONO LINCOLN CATHEDRAL MAJORA NIGHT SKY TINTINARA TINA TURNER TWICE IN A BLUE MOON And I may add to my J&P order the Disney Princess roses.

Comments (9)I appreciate you all soooo much; I have been stalking this forum for awhile for information on which Austins to "invest" in!! LOL! I don't like to admit how many roses I have and have had, mostly David Austins. My kids are finally gone, probably shouldn't admit that because I dearly love them, but I actually can garden again!! Just counted and I seem to have 25 roses at present. I thought I was a poor gardener for many years, which may have been true because I was always carting girls to sports things, but I have realized after reading this forum, perhaps the older DA's which I had, weren't as prolific and did get BS. I am an organic gardener and the roses have to be disease resistant, lovely and have a delicious fragrance. My zone is 8 (PNW), this is why I finally am "reaching out" because I saw a post from someone else from here!! This year I ordered an obscene amount of digested manure ( a wonderful way to reduce toxins from cows if anyone hasn't heard of it). My roses never looked this good!! Even though I have tried premixed and mixing up my own organic foods for years. I also supplement with Hendrikus Bloom. Ok, long winded response to poster from PNW, I have Boscobel and Jubilee Celebration, both of which are blooming beautifully, yes JC is nodding but I agree with others that she just needs to get older! Both plants are grafted because I didn't want to wait another year since I just expanded my garden. I noticed the original leaves from the nursery plant have BS but the new leaves are very healthy with no BS or mildew. New also is Scepter d'Isle which is gorgeous. I have had the best luck here with Golden Celebration (not Graham Thomas, gets BS), Mary Rose, Lilian Austin (took years to actually rebloom quickly), Lady Emma Hamilton, Evelyn, Winchester Cathedral (white Mary Rose) and Abraham Darby ( this is the first year he has bloomed his heart out without disease, I think it's payback for the digested manure!!). Thank you all for all your ideas and advice!!...See MoreDisease Resistancy on Austins: Jubilee C., Chris Marlowe, etc?
Comments (5)Yes, give them a couple years to settle in and mature--then assess how well they are doing. That said, I've grown Jubilee Celebration for 7-8 years now--lovely blooms, but not the most vigorous plant, and while not a blackspot magnet, it periodically has some BS problems. I haven't grown Boscobel, but would it I had room for it. It is supposed to be very bs resistant, so definitely give it time to settle in before you make a final judgment. A number of gardeners have praised Golden Celebrations beauty, but I seem to remember that nearly all of them admitted she had periodic BS problems, even after she was quite mature. That's all I can help you with on those roses, but in the future, look each one up on the David Austin site (and on helpmefind.com) to see how bs-resistant they are--but be careful with DA roses. He rarely mentions anything as negative as "disease." Instead, he will comment on how "healthy" the roses are--which means they may be fairly good on bs-resistance. If he says nothing about "health" or "disease," that probably means it is a bs magnet and you will have to spray. Hope that helps. Kate...See MoreWhich Roses Don't Float Your Boat?
Comments (92)OH, my! What a thread! I would have to agree with the comments on Abracadabra. Actually, Dave Bang’s roses in general, while amazing triumphs in breeding, are rather dreadful to my eyes. I don’t really care for bicolors unless they are soft and low-contrast, and stripes/mottled are even worse. Double Delight makes me cringe. Many of the mauve roses are incredibly unappealing to me. Some Lavenders are beginning to grow on me, but Barbara Streisand (among others) consistently looks bleached by the sun, yet tacky and trying to pretend she is still young and beautiful, like an old woman who has been to the tanning booth too many times. Yeah, I hate that one. I don’t care for most brightly colored hybrid teas, but I will do reds, as long as they are not orange. Coral is iffy. Roses whose center looks dirty as soon as it opens ring a bell here. ’Gilded Sun’ is one such in my garden. It is also much brighter than the rest of my garden, so I have it placed near the pool and children’s area where all my other “bright, garish, tropical” plants go. In fact, I think the only reason that I let it stay is that it performs beautifully in the heat, and resists Japanese beetles. It is a nice, bright splash of color during the long hot summer months. During springtime I question, “why did I plant that again?” I also am on the “no-quilling” bandwagon, or at least for the most part. I have a few roses that quill, but they are by no means my favorite, and most are allowed for the overall effect of the bush, rather than the flowers themselves. Carefree Beauty is one more that I have not been able to warm up to! With her saturated pink and ever imperfect petals, she is too bright for her simplistic form. Reminds me of a farm girl dressed up like a hussy. Contrary to others, I love my Austen’s. Teasing Georgia performs very well in heat and drought, making her a favorite of mine. Tremendous growth and generous blooms with minimal pampering, granted, she is mulched well. Pretty Jessica doesn’t seem to require a pampering, either. Windermere is one that I’ve had a bit of trouble with, mainly because I didn’t water it well it’s establishing heat and because it gets torn apart by the rotten Jap. beetles, but it tries to do well despite the odds and abuse I heap on it. It’s responding well to a little more TLC. I also love my Icebergs. They are so graceful and light, with their white flowers on arching, delicate stems that dance in the breeze. They provide surefire, easy whites to balance out the garden and, to my eye, look older than they actually are. They blend in well with Noisettes and teas. Burgundy Iceberg is loved, too, for the richness of its blooms. Sometimes I feel like all the world is praising a rose that makes me turn my head when it pops up on the screen. Nice to know I’m not alone! It’s rather fun to hear everybody’s quirks and opinions. Hope no one takes offense at mine! :)...See Moredamask55linen
