Peggy Martin Rose
Comments (16)@summersrhythm_z6a, here is Peggy Martin that I gave to my friend growing on his new fence that we built last year. It's already swirling around the swags. Last Oct. After it had been transplanted during mid-Summer. We transplanted another this spring so it is a little behind. These were growing at my house in total shade where they would get a great spring flush and put on wonderful growth but not much after that. Here's a picture of them from my house. You may have seen it before. Please click to enlarge. :-)...See MorePeggy Martin in Container?
Comments (7)First, I am not sure I'd care about the utility lines. Is your concern that some day you might have to dig up the lines? Second, you can grow any rose in a container. It will not be as happy as in the ground (provided your ground has good soil and drainage). As mentioned, it will grow quite a bit smaller. I am not sure if that's a problem for you or not. I am growing "Climbing Royal Sunset in what is probably a 15 gallon pot. This particular climber tends to get about 15 feet tall, which is moderate in size. (As compared to a large rose like Cecile Brunner which grows to 30 feet or more.) It is now 7 years old and it is about 8 feet tall. It is clearly much smaller than it would be had it been in the ground. On the other hand, it is healthy, blooms well, and I enjoy having it. I have it climbing on a trellis I mounted in the pot. I got the idea from a local nursery which is growing a few climbers in large whiskey barrels for display on their asphalt growing area. They are probably 15 feet tall and look fabulous, so it clearly can be done. It just depends on what your expectations are....See MoreNeed advice! Autumn Damask rose and my new rose beds
Comments (46)Gorgeous pictures everyone and you've gotten great advice from people closer to your zone. Just a heads-up that you want to be a bit careful where you buy your Reine des Violettes, since there are two versions of the rose circulating other that name. I started with "Not Reine des Violettes", which is both thorny and a once-bloomer - so Ingrid gets the satisfaction of being right even in her temporary "error". The color is lovely and it climbs, and it has the peppery foliage smell, but no rebloom ever on mine. I have now ordered the real RdV from Burlington, who I trust to know that she has the real one, and it's thornless and should be a repeat bloomer. I'm sure other people would have the real one, but do ask if repeat bloom matters to you. Cynthia...See MoreNeed Suggestions for a Climber/Rambler - not a modern rose
Comments (11)Oh thanks Kim! I have and LOVE Mel's Heritage - it drapes over my front fence in front of my farm and is absolutely a show stopper! I think I might have Renae - it is a pretty decent sized rose in a pot, I have it growing rather like a standard but tag got lost - will have to let it bloom in spring and see. I have been wanting to try Florence Bowers and think I will do that - any of these would be good, just want to add something different. And just thought of this - a few years back, I was looking at a house for sale with a friend of mine who was looking - and spotted a magnificent Mutablis that was growing as a draping climber - the people had let it grow from one huge cane that they had kept pruned from the ground up to where the plant had leaves and it was blooming and draping from the top of the plant. Like a standard that was tied to the wall and draping. I had a fit - and wanted to do the same thing with it so bought a 1 gallon Mutablis from Chamblees some years ago and separated the 3 rooted cuttings. One died but the other 2 lived. They are now in 3 gallon pots - I just pruned them the other day and they are growing like standards. I plant to plant them on my front fence [a 3 board horse fence] and let them drape over it on either side, keeping the main cane trimmed so it wont look messy at the bottom. I could use one of these in that spot, but think Florence is more what I am wanting, bigger blooms that can be seen from my deck. Some of those photos of this rose on HMF growing over an arbor are simply gorgeous! Going to order one right now! You always have the best advice and suggestions, I so enjoy reading your posts. You should write a book and put down all your knowledge - it would sell like hotcakes and make you rich! Just ordered some from Burling, and had a lovely chat with her by phone - such a charming lady! Thank you for your suggestions - just what I needed! Judith...See Morevaflowernut
