Nothing here yet, she's growing well and looking very heathy. I'm actually thinking that I should have looked closer at this rose before ordering. I did not realize how many petals it has. Hope I'm wrong but it looks to be a rose thats going to have a difficult opening. Time will tell thou.

Savanna planted at the same time has lots of buds. Flowers open very well so far not affected by cold, rain or heat.

Soooooo frustrated with this rose. Nothing yet. I cut mine back bc it was getting so tall but I have no buds still. My sister in law has gotten a couple. Not sure what the issue is.

Prettypetals, is your sister in law's Madame Anisette bush an own root plant or a grafted one?

I have cut mine back too, several weeks ago, but still no blooms or buds. Mine is on Fortuniana.

Hey Suebelle! Hers is own root. I have both grafted and own root and nuttin. So irritating. I don't think hers has bloomed much but anything is more than mine. Lol

I've not seen any more buds develop on mine yet, but I think it's still in transplant shock.. it hasn't done much at all since I planted it into my garden. It has been very hot here though.

I have it on fortuniana. Growing like a beast. No blooms. New this season.

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. Mine is also growing like a beast with no buds or blooms.

Any other observations would be appreciated.

TennesseNoisette- How is yours doing?

Suebelle

I am in Maryland 7b and no blooms either despite foliage growth on first year plant from Chamblees. I just pruned off all the blind shoots so maybe that will help. Maybe it does not like the heat? I am having the same problem with Earth Angel also new this year.

Still no buds here!

Update from Suebelle

Never did get any buds on Madame Anisette. Six months and 3 plants, no buds. Grew to more than six feet, but still nothing. I finally just discarded all 3 of them, I finally did get some blooms on Earth Angel though.

Update from Illinois. MA is growing and growing but no buds in site. Most likely won't have any this year. I'll see what next year brings.

no buds on mine, from chamblees own root. first year. first bud just came from savannah. Not anywhere near ripping her out yet, I hear it can take up to 3 years for Kordes roses to start showing their true colors.

Yes. Patience is important. I've not had a bare root fail to bloom the first season. Anyone have?

Susan

I have gotten four blooms after cutting way back on mine from Cool Roses but nothing on mine from Chamblees. I've cut them back again bc they keep getting long canes and getting on my nerves. I know my sister in laws hasn't bloomed but a couple two. I'm sure she'll do fine next year. I love Kordes roses.

Ae you sure Cool Roses sold you a plant? They are not licensed for Kordes propagation, in fact never asked for a license to propagate.

Hi! Im the sis in law lol my MA has bloomed a couple of blooms and has buds now. Has grown like a weed. It has been a bit slow but i have others that have done NOTHING. My new pink enchantment from chamblees has thrown long canes and zero buds. So strange how some take forever and others dont!

My Madam anisette and summer romance have not bloomed yet either. Both are from chamblees and have been growing like mad but no blooms...

Update on some of mine. Sunny Sky and South Africa have grown very well and bloomed up a storm. I've had 3 flowers on Pink Enchantment they were beautiful. Nothing from Summer Romance or MA but they are growing well. I've also seen a few blooms on First Crush they were also gorgeous.

Chris I thought they did but it was from a nursery with initials. I'm so sorry. I've only ordered from them this one time. I'm sure they'll be fine with time bc all my other Kordes are amazing. So sorry for the confusion. I have so many roses and am OLD!!! Lol. Judy

I finally have a tiny bud on Earth Angel but nothing on Mme Anisette

I pinched off the top of Madame Anisette's tallest cane just to see what it would do. It has put out three new laterals that are headed straight up. So I'm waiting to see what these do.

Yeah! Finally!!! I came back after almost two weeks away (I hate United Airlines, delays for days with no reimbursement), and was rewarded with four beautiful flowers on one of my Summer Romances. They are so much prettier and more fragranced than those from Lowe's. Mine were from Chamblees. It took over four months, but was worth it and I can see it will continue. I actually just put it in the ground two weeks ago with only one bud. The other one that was damaged in shipping is still a comparative runt, but definitely improved. They both send out longish canes and aren't bushy at all. I wonder if I can pinch this growth to encourage bushiness or not. Do you experts do this with roses?

Fire Opal has been a blooming dear since the get-go and is a great plant. All the lit says no fragrance, but it has a definite apple scent when freshly opened.

The two Dark Desires I bought two week ago from Lowe's have continued budding and blooming. I agree they all must just take some time before thinking of reproduction. (On the other hand, my little Margo Koster which has been two tiny sticks for months, suddenly started leafing out and immediately set buds. I pluck them off everyday, but missed doing so while away. I'll soon have about six tiny flowers.)
