What roses are you adding in 2015?
Comments (122)I hope y'all are ready for my list! For two years, I've been 'on hold' while the planning and implementing of a huge construction job in my yard. I had to dig up a lot of my roses, didn't dare plant any and of course kept 'collecting'. Now the work is done and I have a lot more room. Plus with experience, I know what I want. I also lost a lot of roses between the Polar Vortexes and some that I dug up did not survive. I've also decided to get back into Hybrid Teas in a big way, I like exhibiting and doing arrangements, and they are the best for that. I also want to start with minis, so I'm stocking up on them. Ordered from Palantine, on multiflora, just came two weeks ago: Double Delight (was to replace mine that I thought was dead, but it's still alive, I dug it up and am keeping it in a pot) Gemini (I had this years ago, but it didn't make it) Pope John Paul II Rainbow Niagara (this is aka Tropical Sunset, which I lost last winter) Dainty Bess Paradise Razzle Dazzle Dark Desire Lucille Ball From Rogue Valley, caused by a thread on GW about buds and sepals... Won Fang Yon Cesoine Bella Donna Leda Nuits de Young Mystery Rose Ordered from a local nursery, will have in April: Dick Clark New Zealand Moonstone Munstead Wood St. Patrick (had this, loved it, lost it) Picked up at the DSD Mid-Winter Meeting: Mrs. BR Cant (replacement) Tradescant (on Fortuniana, a replacement) Randy Scott (also on fort) Magnificent (also on fort) Glowing Amber (mini) Mini-Floras from Kroger: Flawless Powerhouse Patron Ambiance Classic HTs from Home Depot: Chrysler Imperial Pink Peace Tropicana Gene Boerner (floribunda) Chamblees order through my Rose Society: Darcey Bussell (already blooming!) Southern Peach (mini-flora) Deja Blue (mini-flora) Mrs. BR Cant Crepescule (replacement for one that didn't survive being dug up) Loretta Lynn Van Lear (already has buds and they look amazing) Pearle d'Or (this one I bought 2 years ago but haven't been able to plant yet) Burlington Roses, bought last year, still in pots Power Point Miniflora Merlot Mini Orange Parfait Mini Jean Kennerly Mini Irresistible Mini Twilight Zone (I think this one is gone, I will have to get another one) Additional ones I picked up here and there, many from my rose group Queen Elizabeth Shrub Blumenschmidt Madame Plantier (2) Homere Nastarana Swamp Rose Mutabilis Cramoisi Superieur Alnwick Castle Tess of the Dubervilles JFK Ballerina (replacement, lost to RRD) Reve d'Or (replacement lost to RRD) It sounds like a lot, it IS a lot. If you add in the roses I had that I had to dig up, it's over 70. But I am getting three new beds and I have most of the spots planned. If I don't get them all planted this year, it's not a huge deal. Wish me luck! Almost forgot! I have a bunch of roses that we dug up from a fellow members garden. He went into assisted living and wanted his roses to go to members. In addition to the Reve d'Or and Ballerina, I have Madame Hardy (didn't think it was going to make it, but it's putting on new growth) Polka, a climber that I will give to another member. The rest I have no idea what they are! That will be the fun in seeing them bloom and identifying them based on his lists (unfortunately the tags were gone). I know one is a rugosa from the foiliage. I'm just not sure which one....See MoreJersey Shore Rose Society (JSRS) Rose Show, September 19, 2015

Comments (60)I haven't had Teas for that long but they are definitely amongst my best roses. In my hot, humid climate (10b), my favourites so far are: 1. Rosette Delizy - I think this one is my best rose overall. I love the growth and sheer number of blooms. I don't have any problems with balling and they only burn a little on very hot days, which doesn't really matter to me as there are new blooms opening all the time. No disease and fast growing. The blooms don't nod and last ages in a vase for me. 2. General Gallieni - I don't think many people love this rose but it's imperfection is the key to its beauty for me. You never know what you will get! I love the look of the blooms on hot days, where they look like they have been painted with watercolours. Doesn't ball or burn at all for me. Took this pic not long after it arrived as a tiny spindly bare root a few months ago, now it's 5ft high and rising! 3. G Nabonnand - some days it's my favourite but the blooms aren't as tough as the others so it suffers a little in the heat. Beautiful leafy shrub though and always in bloom, like everyone says. I think it has nice perfume too. 4. Duchess de Brabant - I didn't like this one much to start with but it's growing on me! Love the perfume and the number of blooms. Gets a bit of black spot here but nothing serious. 5. Climbing Devoniensis - wow, what a climber! It's my most vigorous climber by far. Actually I'm a little scared of it. My favourite perfume from all the Teas. Also gets a little black spot here. 6. Anna Olivier - mine is still young but it's graceful and has soft full blooms. No disease, not as fast growing as others but it's slowly making a nice full shrub. 7. Baronne Henriette de Snoy - not 100% sure about the growth and how the bush will shape up, it's a bit branching and angular and sparsely foliated at the moment. I'm hoping it will improve. Love the full pretty blooms though. 8. Reve d'Or - I don't even own it yet but I love it! It's on order! I've admired the mature bushes at the rose garden for ages, I can't wait to find a spot for it. 9. Lady Mary Fitzwilliam - sneaking this early HT in as it grows like all my other Teas - vigorous, leafy and healthy. I guess I can't be sure the rose I have is Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, given the contention, but I think it could be. Never balls, never burns. 10. Mrs B R Cant - wasn't too impressed with this one until I fell in love with the reverse of the blooms! So pretty (and huge!) She is sprawling at the moment and may get too big for her spot. Not as floriferous as others for me but very good blooms for picking. 11. Souv de Pierre Notting - here this rose loves the heat. The hotter, the better. I don't have a problem with the brown ruff of outer petals unless it rains. Last very well in the vase and an interesting shape. Love the tinge of pink to the golden blooms. Healthy but a little less vigorous than others I have. 12. Marie van Houtte - I adore this rose but it's a monster! Beautiful blooms that I prefer to most other pink/yellow combinations. Nice tea perfume too but it's getting too big for its spot sadly. Should be higher up my list, I just forgot about it. Ones that haven't impressed are Monsieur Tillier (blooms fry instantly and are tiny, so disappointed with this one), Francis Dubreuil (likewise), the imposter Noella Nabonnand (floppy wet rag blooms here that don't last) and White Maman Cochet (balling a bit, slow growing for me, not many blooms so far). I've ordered loads for next year so I'm sure my list will change! I'll be adding Mrs Dudley Cross, Tipsy Imperial Concubine, La Vesuve, Comtesse Riza du Parc (whatever it really is - Dr Grill? Mme Charles?), Souv de Therese Lovet, Souv d'un Ami, Mme Jules Gravereaux, Triomphe du Luxembourg, Etoile de Lyon, Archduke Charles, Duchess d'Auerstadt, Marachal Niel, Octavius Weld and Lady Roberts. Now I just have to make more room! A Tea I'd love to add one day is David's Dilemma....See MoreRoses M 2015
Comments (36)Hi Beth -- Really loved that Monet lavender rose, and I hope you enjoy Mercury Rising -- give it lots of headroom! Speaking of Regan's, I got a call from the nursery letting me know I can pick up the four bare root roses I ordered. One of them is Watercolors Home Run that you've posted photos of. I really liked it and I'm looking forward to seeing it in my garden. Another bare root I'm getting from Regan's is Love Song -- thank you to all on this forum who have posted photos and shared your experiences. I hope I have the same success. I'm a big fan of bi-colors roses that are fragrant so I'm getting more of two roses I already have -- Bella Roma and All American Magic (o.r.). It's about an hour and half drive for me to Regan's but I'm really looking forward to getting my first bare roots of the season. Ann...See Morebethnorcal9

I just have one. Not the best picture, but it didn't do very well this year after a really cold spring. I have pea pods climbing up the sticks right behind it.

8 years agoBeth, I am totally amazed by the colour on Rembrant Van Ryn every time I see it!
Some great pics of Rock&Roll and Red Intuition. Have toyed with ordering RI a couple of times - the only thing holding me back is that I have read that it doesn't have any scent.
Karen - Just love Royal Parks!
My R's are......
Red Fairy - to tell you the truth, I am not convinced that it really is. It was labelled Rote Fairy. What do you think? Comments welcomed!

8 years agoAll of the roses are absolutely gorgeous!
Pat - I love your Rainbow and Rosette Delizy.
Beth - I just ordered Radio Times and hope it grows to become as pretty as yours. I love the soft coloring of your Rubens. I have always been attracted to a classic red rose, but some of the white roses, especially the teas, can have such a refined... classic look. I will be looking that one up for sure.
