Jude the Obscure here?
Comments (9)Thanks for the advice. I have a Duchesse across the lawn in the "Noble Ladies" planting with Marchioness of Londonderry, Baronne Rothschild, Princess of Monaco (my only HT), Lady Hillingdon and Reine Victoria. I do have a new Danae planted just last fall (it's in that picture beyond the Mutabilis in the mid-ground, but so small it doesn't show up--or is it my grass needs mowing so badly :-ppp ) I meant to add that I don't spray, so I need something fairly tough as well....See MoreJude the obscure?
Comments (4)¡¡Hola!! Estoy de acuerdo con el comentario anterior. Si algo distingue a Rose 'Jude el oscuro' es su delicioso aroma !! Inconfundible !! Os muestro algunas fotos de mi JTO. Mi jardín tiene un clima muy caluroso en verano (más de 35 ° centígrados), pero sobre todo es un clima muy seco. Estas temperaturas no ayudan a las rosas que se le mantenga durante muchos días. Pero no es JTO las rosas menos hermosas. Hay rosas David Austin que soportan el sol más fuerte peor. Es difícil garantizar la identificación de una rosa por el color. Ya sabes, que depende de la luz, la cámara. La forma de las hojas de su TJO están en la línea de esta variedad. Los veo bastante como mi rosal. Un saludo....See MoreWhy did nobody tell me about Jude The Obscure?!
Comments (26)I've just ordered Jude and will see how (s)he does in amended red clay. Lilyfinch if one adds sand to clay typically it further reduces drainage and turns it even more concrete-ish when it dries out. If one adds sand along with other amendments then coarse contractor sand does help, but organic matter like compost or peat is much much better. I don't till as a general rule, for a variety of reasons, and trying to till clay can be an exercise in frustration anyway if it's too wet or dry (nearly always) but there is still much benefit to just adding the layers of amendments on top. Over time as they break down it will help improve the soil. Another good thing for clay, if you know of a farm near by, is goat or alpaca pellets (poo.) It's low in nitrogen, doesn't tend to harm sensitive roots (generally speaking) it doesn't need long aging like horse, rabbit, or chicken manure, and is easy to work with....See MoreGolden Celebration vs. Jude the Obscure
Comments (11)Jude is worth buying for the fragrance alone! Strong even in freezing late autumn rains and great as a cut flower. Here in England it buds out later than other roses and so only seems capable of 2 flushes (a third one usually fails as we reach late October/November). But when it does bloom it goes absolutely crazy with just how many flowers it pushes out. As for balling, I can't say i've noticed it much, and let me tell you it's rainy in England. Olivia Rose Austin is a much more guilty culprit, to the point where I might just shovel prune the whole thing next year if it doesn't step up it's game this summer....See Morerifis (zone 6b-7a NJ)
