Looking for a great yellow Tea Rose - Need Suggestions Please
Comments (30)Crepuscule would be a much larger plant than the shrub form of Lady Hillingdon. The one at the SJHRG, as a climber, is immense; I had a free-standing Crepuscule that was approx. 7-8' tall and 9-10' wide after 6 or 7 years in the ground, at which point I lost it to oak root fungus. The edges of the blooms would crisp on hot days, but there were always a bunch of new blooms opening, so it looked reasonably good even in heat waves. A touch of mildew in the spring, maybe, but very clean foliage overall. It's a wonderful rose. Alliance Franco-Russe held prime real estate here for over 6 years but literally never, during that entire time, was without severe mildew, even in late summer when even the roses most prone to it usually shake it off, if only briefly. It's now gone and I don't miss it. Lux, your Etoile de Lyon doesn't get the "brown ruff"? The Australian tea book notes that it happens for EdL, too. Here both EdL and Souvenir de Pierre Notting get it (EdL worse than SdPN, actually), but usually only during their first flush and maybe late, late in the fall. I have attributed it to the conditions being both damp and cool then, not heat, because flushes later in the summer on both generally have very little browning of the outer petals (even with dew in the morning) and produce the best flowers. (photos of them below were taken this morning). I wasn't all that impressed with Souvenir de Pierre Notting, either, until this year. The bush has finally filled in well and the flushes have gone from desultory and meager to substantial. I haven't been treating it any differently -- I think it's just reached a level of maturity that allows better blooms. My Celine Forestier is definitely yellow. In the photo taken this morning (below) there's a slight pinkish cast that happens later in the season; the first flush is generally pure pale yellow and flowers 5" across that look like pom-poms (later-season flowers smaller). Ingrid, I'm curious to know what color was yours? Souvenir de Pierre Notting: Etoile de Lyon: Celine Forestier:...See MoreLooking toward next spring and maybe a yellow rose?
Comments (19)I wish I could advise you about a yellow climber/large bush, but I have no personal experience with such a rose to date. Two yellows that I have been eyeing for myself that have climbing potential and winter hardiness are the D. Austin roses Graham Thomas and Golden Celebration. Golden Celebration is reported to be very black spot prone though. I do spray faithfully, so this liability may be a non issue. GC's scent is supposed to be very good. I have smelled Graham Thomas and its scent is of sour, stale tea (the drink), to my nose. The reason for my responding to you here is to comment on my experience with Westerland. I planted two some years ago to cover a 15' section of 4' high fence. They grew very well for two years, but were surprisingly black spot prone. The flowers were not particularly attractive nor very fragrant, but I was content to give them a go with the hopes the scent and flowers would improve in time. They both died to the ground after their second year in my garden after a very mild winter! They were initially purchased as gallon own root roses. Needless to say what was left of them was dug out and discarded. Westerland was altogether a very unsatisfactory rose in my garden. I fell for all the favorable reports on it. So, in light of my experience you may conclude that yours was destined to become a disappointment even with the best of care as mine were....See MoreLooking for a 2.5-3 ft tall yellow fragrant rose
Comments (24)Sandra, give Bernstein-Rose another look. I've grown three for at least 10 years and they are an outstanding rose. B-R also goes beautifully with Julia Child. As far as Julia is concerned, mine have grown to 6X6 feet in a good year, but you really need to grow JC. You will never be without lovely yellow blooms. I also have grown Golden Celebration for many years. I think you can prune it back to the size you want. Whatever you do, keep on with GC somewhere, he is a great rose, too. Diane Bernstein-Rose--all three plants never grow over three feet tall here. Julia Child...See Morelooking for non vining yellow rose seeds
