Most blooms you've had on a hybrid tea rose during a flush?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone recall what's the most blooms you've ever had on a single hybrid tea rose bush during a flush of blooms? High normal on a few of my hybrid teas is between thirty - thirty-five blooms. The most I can remember during a spring flush was well over fifty blooms on my Forgotten Dreams bush, it had a few clusters that time, it usually blooms in all singles, like the sample here, which was taken this year.

Comments (2)Hey John! Where did you hear that the mauve one was going to be rose of the yr next yr? I only got a couple of blooms on mine, but they were nice. Actually all 4 of them only gave me a few blooms each. The yellow one, SOUTHERN BELLE was the best for me. I wasn't all that impressed with APRIL IN PARIS, but really, it's hard to judge any of them or any rose in one season. That's why the test panel, to me, seems almost ludicrous. It's just kinda nice to get the roses cheaper is all. LOL But I have to admit, that new batch looks wonderful. Mine are already potted up and starting to sprout! You know of course, that I would be most interested in the striped one! And that orange... wow! I can't wait to see them bloom, and to compare notes with you! Come on spring!...See MoreHybrid Tea Rose gone???
Comments (22)I'm beginning to agree with you guys thinking C might be the graft... basically, I'm seeing the theory of the Dr. Huey being everything that does not come from C. So let's test this out. I dug the rose out and went and transplanted it to one of my houses where work is being down for a couple of weeks. It will be watered daily by the guys so it will do well despite the hot weather. I pruned it all the way down to C. I left B in tact but will go back and cut it off. We'll see how this roles. A question I forgot to address earlier: no, I didn't quite notice different leaves, all I can say is that the lower leaves looked much smaller than the upper ones, I think that it is possible the HT is gone but it was definitely there last year, no doubts on that. true-blue, I already have the rose bug. I grew up on a mansion with over 200 beautiful roses in a much warmer part of the world. No winter protection needed lol. Got me hooked. Alas, I am here now. Ken, I planted all 15 roses in much higher temps last year. They all actually put on a good show last year and are doing well now. You can plant anytime right? Just need to water when hot. Following Jackie's suggestion earlier in this discussion, I contacted an expert rosarian that's local. He suggested indeed to plant HTs deep and still cover them up with lots of dirt and mulch for winter. Sounds good, well, I planted 15 already without doing that. I'm not in the mood to disturb those plants and I did pretty good with 14 out of 15 of the HTs making it. So I just don't know......See MoreFlower production of hybrid tea rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cv.

Comments (4)Carol, I cannot access the full paper. Here is the first page: http://www.researchjournal.co.in/online/TAJH/TAJH%207(1)/7_A-154-159.pdf "In South Gujarat, during summer, temperature is very high. Due to high temperature, flower colour becomes faint due to which flower quality deteriorates. Use of 50 per cent shade net can reduce light intensity, insect attack and improve flower quality. Considering the importance of rose as cut flower and its popularity, it was thought worthwhile to carryout research as on use of 50 per cent shade net, Benzyladenine plant growth regulator and Azotobacter bio-fertilizer to know the growth, yield, and quality as well as vase life of rose cv. GLADIATOR under the agro-climatic conditions of South Gujarat." It appears that some shade improves the flower quality. I seem to remember comments that in hot climates the spring blooms are better/larger than the summer blooms. Can anyone comment on this statement?

Comments (135)" Abstract: Browsing by overabundant herds of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) can cause signifi cant economic damage to agricultural crops and landscape plantings. In many instances, for both commercial growers and homeowners, commercially available repellents may be an appealing alternative to physical exclusion and lethal control of animals. We tested 10 different commercially-available repellents (Chew-Not®, Deer Off®, Deer-Away® Big Game Repellent, Plantskydd®, Bobbex®, Liquid Fence®, Deer Solution®, Hinder®, Repellex® systemic tablets, and coyote urine) on yews (Taxus cuspidata Densiformis) at 2 different locations in Connecticut. The study included both positive (fence) and negative (no treatment) controls. We planted yews in 2 blocks at each location in the spring of 2006; each block had 12 groups of 6 yews. We randomly assigned one of the 12 treatments to each group of yews within each block. We applied repellents based on manufacturers’ label recommendations for the 2006 and 2007 growing seasons and recorded application costs. We derived a protection index based on plant size and dry needle weights at the end of the 2007 growing season. In general, repellents that required more frequent application performed better. Bobbex® ranked highest, but was the most expensive repellent treatment. Hinder® performed nearly as well at a fraction of the cost. Yews protected by Repellex®, Deer Solution®, coyote urine, and Plantskydd® were the same size as unprotected controls at both sites and did not have signifi cantly more needles. No repellents prevented 100% of browse damage. The choice of repellent usage is a trade-off among effectiveness, cost, ability to follow recommended reapplication interval, and plant to be protected." http://berrymaninstitute.org/files/uploads/pdf/journal/spring2010/HWC_4.1%20sp2010.pdf#page=60...See MoreSara-Ann Z6B OK
