second year w/ OGRes have a few questions
Comments (9)I don't know that I would wrap the rose around the fence. I think I would just pull the canes as horizontally as I could and tie them to the fence with that stretchy green tie that you can get at any home store. Training in both directions would be very pretty if you can and have the room. Sometimes the Teas can take a little time to get established. They can grow slowly for a couple of years and then they just take off. On the other hand, some of them are very vigorous from the beginning. Mrs. Dudley is one of the ones that took a little time in my garden. By the third year they should be growing and blooming like crazy. At least that is when I noticed a big difference in my garden. Climbers often take at least three years to get established and bloom well. I have all of the perennials and shrubs that you listed in my own garden and I love the way the roses look with them. Perennials, shrubs and trees were my first love, as well. In addition to the ones you listed, you might look at the hardy geranium "Rozanne". It does well in the heat here and blooms from early spring until frost. jbcarr, I lived in Columbia for 15 years before moving here. I still miss it. Except in August :-) Carol...See Moregentle enabling needed - need help with next year's choices
Comments (17)well of course because while you're looking at fragrance and rebloom, etc you wander across these other lovely roses, but honestly have no idea how they'll grow for you, unless you ask - here's what's "left" of my original list - sort of in order the top ones are the most wanted 1- PJP 2- Gabriel Noyelle 3- Madame Isaac Periere (it's on my list every year) 4- buff beauty 5- sov de la malmaison 6- ebb tide 7-golden buddha/ardestiny 8-earth song 9-silver shadows 10-lady of the mist 11-bolero 12-intrigue 13-sharifa asma (also on my list every year, but never seem to buy) 14-francis debreuil 15-quietness 16-rosa rugosa de l'hay 17-souvenir de st anne's 18-moondance 19-tradescent 20-annie laurie mcdowell 21-desiree 22-dagmar hartopp 23-rose de rescht 24-sweetness 25-jacob's robe 26-autumn dusk 27-blue skies 28-enchanted autumn 29-musicale 30-prairie sunrise 31-wild ginger 32-winter susnet 33-alec's red 34-armotherapy 35-sammy 36-roberto capucci 37-callista 38-generosity 39-dignity 40-(any ever heard of "country time"?) 41-honey perfume 42-victorian memory/isabella skinner 43-lady angela 44-lady of the mist 45-margaret fuchs 46-night 'n' day 47-red tropicana 48-september morn 49-seventh heaven 50-sunburst 51-tropical fragrance 52-neptune 53-april in paris 54-picccolo pete 55-salet my list more than doubled! so if you could pick 10 from the list which would you pick and which 10 would you definately not pick?...See MoreHere is a fun one...vote for the 'best' enabler.
Comments (86)Wow, I'm coming late to this party. Ok, here's my list: Olga: Lady Hillingdon, Deuil du Dr. Reynaud, Radio Times, Yolande d'aragon, Belle de crecy, and general interest in getting more gallicas Tivoli: Clementina Carbonieri, Penny Lane, Radio Times, Wm. Shakespeare 2000 Harryshoe: Tamora, Scepter'd Isle Molineux: Molineux, Pretty Jessica, Reine de Violettes (and one day I will have Evelyn) Zeffyrose: Clair Matin, Viking Queen, Carefree Beauty LoriElf: Rhonda, Ilse Krohn Superior, Etoile de Hollande, Baronne Prevost Jeri: Grandmother's Hat Pappu: Rose de Rescht Robert: enabled me into building rebar teepees. George (roselover): enabled me to order the Prince (perhaps 3) for next year after seeing his magnificent one in person. I also might end up ordering Hippolyte, Leda, and some white clematis. That's all I can remember but there are many, many talented enablers on this forum who have contributed to my ongoing quest for more beauties. Thanks for that, Shelley :)...See MoreHow they grow, in just a few short years... (lots of pics)
Comments (15)Alexa and janetpetiole... you both have a very sharp eye! For Alexa, yes, that is Spring Fling in the 3rd picture, 3 o'clock position. It is the only one with a ruffled edge in that area, and it really stands out... And for janetpetiole, yes, I have a little dwarf garden in the top right of some of the photos (it is a trough I made at hosta college last year.) Actually, you can see in the 2006 picture, the dwarf cedar is nice and green, but in the 2007 pictures, you can see it is reddish/brown because it died over the winter... I am planning to take it out sometime soon. There is a tiny dwarf hosta in there too... Masquerade... and the gnome which resided there last year is still inside and hasn't made his way out there yet! Phil... you are correct about not being able to appreciate the true beauty of a hosta until it matures for a few years. Spring Fling was not much to look at in 2005, but now in 2007 it is one of my favorites. It's finally starting to look like those hosta library pictures... And Janice... I'm not afraid to answer your question over here :-) The wedding was wonderful, everything went as planned, and my bridesmaid dress fit fine (after some minor adjustments!) Buff...See More

8 years agoIf we're talking about the same one, (looks like Paul's Glory to me) then no, I don't think its HVX. However, I would still send the photo to Chris to be sure.
Remember my story about telling Lowe's they had HVX infected plants - then Chris said they weren't? It looked like that. REPEAT - this is not HVX, just a stressed Paul's Glory.
