Comments (10)I really like this rose! I bought it as Dixieland Linda from Rogue Valley, and the number of climbers that can look remotely impressive on own roots in zone 5 are few and far between. So far, most of my pictures are only from 2 years old, but she's already to the top of a 6' fence and that's impressive in itself. In contrast, my New Dawn is 4 years old and only getting beyond 3-4 feet this year. Dixieland Linda is nicely hardy, has clean dark green foliage, and nice HT-like flowers. Again, most climbers that do well in zone 5 have more open semi-double blooms, so this is a nice treat as well. I'll post a photo of the blooms then an idea of the bush so far. Given that it's only 2 years old, it's not that impressive yet nor expected to be, but for a 2-year-old climber it's really fantastic. I've bought another one from Chamblee's last year, and I rarely repeat roses, so that says something on my part. Daisy - I'd be interested if this rose bloom is like yours. The color is pretty true to what I see in real life. Not the apricot I'd wished for, but a nice clean pink in my world. Cynthia...See MoreJaune Desprez, Kordes Aloha, or Lady Ashe/Dixieland Linda
Comments (14)Of these roses I only have 'Jaune Desprez'. I would be concerned about your zone in its case, but have no personal experience to go on as I live in a mild climate. My plant is currently about 17' x 10'--something like that, it's big--trained up a balcony, and is thirteen years old. JD in my garden is big, lax, thorny--really notably thorny--has beautiful foliage that is deciduous. Mine is basically spring blooming, but I don't water it and we have a regular long summer drought; I believe it blooms much more with summer water. The blooms are beautiful, the color of ice cream, and are fragrant, with a musk scent that carries on the air. Hardiness apart, JD is a tough rose, tolerant of poor soil and part shade. It gets more disease than some of my roses, but nothing serious, and nothing to bother it. I like 'Jaune Desprez' for its grace and somewhat wild air, for its fragrance and the beauty of its blooms, for its toughness. It has a reputation for being a slow starter, which I found to be true; my grafted plant didn't bloom at all its first year. With me it gets an annual pruning in March, to cut out the oldest growth and retie the canes. I cut up the pruned growth and throw it down around the base of the rose, and that's maintenance for the year....See MoreI really love lady ashe/Dixieland Linda. Others that would do well?
Comments (6)Here I come waving the " flamenco Rosita " flag!! The scent is lighter but still there. It will grow like crazy. Bloom it's head off and not quit . Very vibrant but not obnoxiously so. I'm in zone 7 so no die back even a little bit , not sure where you are ? I think it is amazing It's the bright pink in the back. By end of summer the gold trellis disappeared under the canes and it became as wide past the purplecrose on the left. ( violets pride , boscobel is the little guy on the right. ) I hope that's sort of what you are asking for !...See MoreOverwintering These Young Roses....?
Comments (2)Sink the pots in the ground. It will be better insulation for the roots than the garage and you won't need to water because they will get rain and snow all winter. Anything you can plant, do so as soon as possible. Being in the ground is always the best way to winter roses....See Morevasue VA
