Which is more bushy - Therese Bugnet, or Belle Poitevine?
Comments (6)I would always recommend Fru Dagmar - it's a wonderful rugosa and just what you're looking for. Therese is vase shaped and her remontancy is questionable. She only has light rebloom for me. The Belle, OTOH, is a broad as she is tall 5' shrub with constant bloom. The bonus with Fru Dagmar and Belle Poitevine are the huge, colorful hips they set - and you don't have to deadhead to get the good rebloom. They rebloom and set hips all at the same time. Another good rugosa of the same style as the two above (wide and bushy) is R. Magnifica. It may be my favorite rugosa. The blooms are a bit more refined than the muddled petals of Belle Poitevine, and the hips it sets are every bit as large as Fru Dagmar's. It's a truly generous, easy to grow rose and well named....See MoreRugosa rose rebloom
Comments (11)We are in Chicagoland. We do get hot and humid here 90+ F degrees and down to below 0 for extended periods, this year 14 below! Maybe I will try not just snapping off the flowers, and cutting like the suggestion said. I do have older varieties: Hansa and Blanc double de coubert. Maybe they need a pruning? But I also have wildberry breeze and wild spice and neither have much rebloom. They are in mostly full sun, 8+ hours a day. I will try supplementing with water. I usually do not do this unless it is VERY hot (above 90). I also fertilize after the first flush but this does not seem to work. Do the "explorer" varieties which I noticed have rugosa parentage, have more rebloom? Thanks for your help....See MoreImpressed with Therese Bugnet rebloom
Comments (14)Mine's 15 years old and has traveled off its rootstock. I never got more than a couple more blooms after the spring bloom until last year. Started using fish emulsion. I have to say I don't like fish emulsion. Also I poured the water to it. Madame Hardy is next to it and has a reputation as a really stingy bloom producer. This year it is covered with blossoms. I tell you what, that fish emulsion is really disgusting stuff. I got it because all the fertilizer I could find around here had cranked up their percentages until they were just generic Miracle Grow. I think Miracle Grow is just like feeding your toddler Mountain Dew. Along with the Fish emulsion I used a product called Alaska Morbloom. Both products came from this company and had a percentage together of 5-11-11. A lot of the professional rose food has a lower percentage, and I'm guessing is better for the plant, long term....See Moreany one have therese bugnet for trade or ill pay shipping cost
