They are all beautiful. I really love Sundowner, St Pat, and Granada. I have a first year St Pat that I'm waiting for it to bloom. I hope it's as beautiful as yours.

Jules - Im my opinion it is too late for the not enough buds plant. But if the plant is symmetrical and has no mars on the leaves - why not to bring it. Not enough - if it is 3 flowers altogether - it is way too few - but if you wanted 15 and you only have 10 - you can always enter it is in newbie class - first time participants - and very possibly you will get your blue ribbon or even the best in class. I do not think that removing the row of leaves will encourage blooming. You are removing part of the factory that produces energy. When you will be ready for the show - remove the flowers that start to get old with small scissors from the bloomstalks in a way that no pedicels left (the stalk the t attaches the flower to the bloomstalk). Better to have less than to have them brown. Good luck on your first show!!! Irina

OT: POTD: Texas star Hibiscus, 1st time I see it bloom in person
Q
Comments (16)
hey all, I am just glad I am not the guy that drank the guys drink roflmao I don't know why I only ended up with ONE star hibiscus. I planted so many seeds at the winter sowing. So many had shared the seeds with me and I hope I can pass it on to others. Yupp I just got done watering too a few minutes ago. But while I water, I also do a touch, talk and cleaning up of most plants lol. Brenda good thought...not long and it will be Halloween again. I don't know if I got the bloom wet in the morning when I first sprayed the leaves down. But a few pedals were a little deformed. I still loved it because it was my FIRST :-) Lucy

Thanks everyone. I was impressed with the first bloom on Malaysian Marketplace. Quite a few buds on them too, so it is looking good. I like the looks of billy the Kid. It is bigger than a 5" flower, Mantis, maybe 6". Maybe a bit smaller than Malaysian Marketplace. Not too tall, about 30" scapes so well above the foliage. I like everything but the stats. I don't expect to get the blooms that stats usually show for a plant, just doesn't happen for me. I have several plants that are supposedly capable of getting 35-40 buds, I seem to get about half that. So if one has official stats of 10, that means I may get 5? Hopefully not. right now I have 3 fans, one with 4 buds & the other 2 look like they have 5. Hopefully it will improve next year. One the plus side we had storms come through today & it was one of the few blooms in the garden that still looked decent after the pouring rains. Don't know yet how it will handle the sun. As for the photo sizing, this was the first time I had posted a photo & they looked much larger til I hit submit. I felt a bit silly then :) I think this new forum has the ability to edit, but I didn't want to stretch my brain too much at one time :)

Wowsers!!! Lots of gorgeous blooms!! Love that second ROCK 'N' ROLL. And I never knew MARIA STERN was so beautiful! I love that scalloped DICK CLARK! And I really have to find a new CANDY STRIPE. I do believe mine is not correct.

This one I think is Emerald Hit -- I know it is a Poulsen and it was a grocery store rose that got rather big...any thoughts on that? It is really green in bud. New Dawn to the left and Baby Paradise below it.

New Dawn

Pink Freedom

Peace

Chrysler Imperial

Gold Medal

Heirloom

and here is one I am super excited about, Hypnotized, 1st bloom but more buds -- I do love the striping and speckling and the pink with orange and yellow is new for me

Thanks for letting me share! That's all I've got today :)

Beth -- thanks! We must have been posting at the same time! I hope you check back because I'd love to hear your opinion on that possible Emerald Hit! Hmm, interesting about your Candy Stripe, where did you get it? Mine is from Rogue Valley.

Are you sure that's not Rock & Roll instead of Rock n Roll? Anyhow it's luscious looking!!!

What wonderful roses!!! And you have a few that I've just gotten and haven't seen bloom - like Broceliande and Neil Diamond.

I love your Hypnotized!!! Wow!!

Your All American Magic is way more intense and lovelier than mine ever was. Love the depth of colors!!

I think my favs are Black Baccara, Brigadoon and Rock n Roll!!! But they're all stunners!!

Sigh....how wonderful!! :)

Andrea, you have a great collection there! Love the pics! It's nice to see how a particular rose grows in other locations. Very impressed especially by your striped roses!!!!

By the way, I think Carol is right - it should be Rock & Roll (Grandiflora Carruth 2006) and not Rock 'n' Roll (Floribunda McGredy 1988). Still don't understand why the do it!

Thanks everyone, I've been working really hard on the garden this year and it's nice to see the roses so happy. The rain has been an issue and the blackspot is creeping in. I hppe I can keep it under control.

Carol and Sharlene you are totally right, I have Rock & Roll not Rock n Roll. So confusing to me, all of these & or 'n' roses lol.

My St. Patrick came from a local nursery and when I saw it he was covered in huge green buds. I had to take him home and he has become one of my favorite impulse buy roses. I do get to the ground die back in winter but so far he keeps coming back.

Sara-Ann yeah I don't see pink freedom very often but I also enjoy the blooms very much. Believe it or not that was a scrawny body bag rose from 2012!

Most of my roses have bloomed atleast once this year but I am still waiting on probably 10 or so new ones planted this year for their first blooms. I'd say 75% have been in the ground since 2012 or 2013.

Thanks for the feedback and conpliments! I love to share my roses with you all and hear your input!
