Bump - I would like pictures or comments on these two.

I think these are very new roses so not many would have photos yet. Chris from Newflora roses may be the only one. I just planted Madame Anisette so it well be a while for me.

Patty, let me know if you get any buds. Is your Madame Anisette an Own Root Plant or a grafted one?

Mine is own root and I will be sure to let you know if it blooms. I'm not expecting much this year. I have many Kordes roses. In last years group their were 4 that did very little. It shall be interesting to see what happens this year.

Hi. I have both and they are own root from Chamblees and fortuniana from Cool Roses. All are new this year. Chamblees EA came with buds and two have bloomed so I will post it. I have tons of Zaide and Summer Romance and First Crush that I got last year and they are loaded with buds but last year they didn't rebloom great so thinking this year they will repeat quicker. They are all gorgeous though!!

I never got a pic after it opened more but it did stay cupped quite a bit. Think I'm going to love it like the others. The ones from Cool Roses don't have any buds on them at all. :(( I'm sure they will soon though! :)) Judy

Judy, I assume that the ones from Cool Roses are on Fortuniana. Please let me know if you get any buds or blooms on those. And of course, any more pictures will certainly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Suebelle

Very pretty prettypetals. I hope you will post pis of Summer Romance when it flowers including a bush shot. They're hard to find.

I have a baby Madame Anisette that only arrived from Roses Unlimited a couple of weeks ago. It had a big fat bud on it when it arrived. Here are a few days worth of photos. It lasted quite a while, I cut it off when it started to brown on the edges. Not one petal fell off of it when I threw it in the bin. The flowers are very sturdy & fragrant with a spicy anise fragrance. It looks like it will be tallish and narrow as a shrub.

Woooooweeeeee Jessica. Can't wait for mine to bloom. Gorgeous!!

Thanks Jessica. Now I really am anxious for mine to bloom. It just keeps on growing and growing, but no buds. Those blooms are scrumptious.

Suebelle, I'm such a goof, I didn't even realize I was responding to the same person in this post that I responded to on my own post! I just saw someone asking for photos of these roses. Oh well, at least these photos are here for everyone else who was wondering about these roses! I know I will be staying tuned for photos of Earth Angel, which I am very curious about seeing!

I wish you lots of luck getting yours to bloom, it is so odd that they haven't yet, they sound so healthy! I wonder how much being grafted will affect that. I get so confused because some people will swear grafted roses are always more vigorous, while others will swear that a lot of these newer modern shrubs will do just as good or better on their own roots. So confusing! I guess I have been leaning more towards the latter because all the roses I purchased this year have been own root.. Not that I am an expert. (Definitely am not)

Jessica

TennesseeNoisette - Have you seen any more blooms on Madame Anisette? Any info about how it is doing will be appreciated.

SueBelle

Ooooooh, Madame Anisette has a cup shaped bloom? On Newflora, the fragrance sounded great but the I cannot say I was too drawn to the pictures. However, your pictures have changed my mind! I really need to consider it now. I plan on getting Earth Angel next spring - my garden already had too much of a growth spurt this year already to accommodate it. Please share more photos and your impressions as the season goes on!

No, I have yet to see any more blooms on MA, I planted her a few weeks ago into a brand new bed that consists of heavy red clay that I heavily amended with composted horse manure, bagged topsoil, & perlite.... I probably should have let it all settle for a while before I planted her, but it is so hot here, I went ahead and planted her instead of keeping her in her nursery pot that had to be watered daily. She has grown a little, but not much, hopefully I'll have more to report soon. One thing I can say is that her foliage is still spotless in my blackspot ridden yard, much like most of my other Kordes, and I am really loving that. I'm so thankful I found Kordes, it seemed that healthy rose foliage in my garden in June was an impossibility before them.

Jessica

Jessica, May I ask?... Were you holding that bloom up for the photo? And why so? Does it droop?

I know it is very young and may be different as it matures.

Those pics are fab. Thank you. I'll still wait for purchasing. Its an 82 degree steam bath out there right now at 10 pm..

I have both, purchased this year from RU and Chamblees. MA had one bloom that was insect damaged but it did have beautiful coloring, pale creamy outer petals and peach inner. Earth Angel had three blooms so far and has more buds. They were soft pink, not too pale and cupped. The roses are still tiny maybe 10 inches tall but very healthy so far. MA is probably 3 1/2 feet tall. I was astounded and pleasantly surprised when I unpacked her. But so disappointed that her only bud was so mangled that she bloomed as half a rose. I can't wait till they get going though. All the pics are to die for, sigh.

Yes I'm holding it up because it was extremely heavy & was pulling the whole pot over. Mine is also from Roses Unlimited, & it had yet to be transplanted into a more substantial pot, and RU uses a very light growing medium, so that bloom was almost heavy enough to tip the whole pot over. Even though it was heavy it did not droop on the stem, it just weighed the whole stem down because it is young. I gather that when it is a more mature plant it will have a typical hybrid tea stem structure, with thick, strong stems, good for cutting. I could see the flowers being very heavy after a rain though.

I recently spoke to K&M roses and he said they got a call from Kordes stating that Earth Angel (and some of the other newly released Kordes roses) were found to have gone vegetative (meaning lots of green growth but not blooms) when grafted onto fortuniana and that he should cease to sell them grafted because of this. I have had this problem with Kordes rose before in my hot South Florida garden. They either go vegetative, or they take years to get going (except for the veranda series, those guys love my garden and bloom like mad). They also tend to form bullheaded flowers in the hot summer which is such a shame as they are one of the few really disease resistant roses that grow and grow in my climate. But dang! No blooms.

The ones I've had the most difficulty with were Lion's Fairy Tale, Elegant Fairy Tale (this one finally started blooming after 4 years in the garden, but does produce bullheaded roses in the summer) and Summer Romance. I had the same problem with First Crush that was planted in the ground, but the one in the container did bloom a bit (alas, bullheads all summer long and suffers from tons of die back).

I would try growing it own root and see how it does and give it some time because as I said, some just take a while to get going. I'm so sad I have problems with my Kordes roses because I really like them. I just wish they did better in the heat.

I'm going to try out some of their Sunbelt series as I was told by Chris, those were bred for the hot south. Savannah is on that list and its on my list as well.

Nothing on Mme Anisette yet despite lots of growth. Finally first buds on EA. Got them both this year from Chamblees.
