The first bloom of Lady Marmalade. The shape is not what I see in most pictures - cupped bloom with the petals reflexed inwards. Is it really LM?

Comments (8)I didn't add any extra mulch around the peony and the amount of sunlight should be the same as it always is, though, like you, weeds (field grass for me) are trying to take over the world. The plant did get rather wet feet last spring because of the monsoon we experienced throughout May and into June last year - had standing water in my backyard - but the other peonies in my backyard that experienced this, budded and bloomed as usual this year. I haven't divided the peony since I planted it. I never even thought about it and haven't ever divided my other peonies, either. I grew up with peonies, it seems, but don't recall ever seeing my parents divide them, either - all were well established by the time we moved in there in the 1960's and I never saw "new" peonies planted elsewhere, just the original 10 or so planted along the stone wall in our backyard. From what I little I have read about them, I didn't think division was a requirement, just if you wanted to increase the number of your plantings or if the plant was doing poorly in its current spot. I am not sure that one year without buds means my peony is doing poorly, but something has changed with it and I can't see that it would do harm. I wouldn't mind having more peonies in my garden either, so I look forward to seeing your demonstration so I can learn the proper way to divide them. Sounds as if a positive identification would be difficult to impossible so I won't worry too much about it - I only know the name of one of my other peonies, after all. I was curious about this one because it is definitely an older cultivar. Don't know how old, but the house was built in the 1700's and the stonewall along which the peonies were planted was original to the farm that used to surround the house. As has been said, what's in name anyway? Peony blooms are still beautiful no matter what you call the plant. Holly...See MoreJust got back from Ontario and this is blooming in my garden
Comments (14)I tried seed as well but although they sprouted easily they eventually died off. I bought these at Canadian Tire, believe it or not. The greenhouse that grew those is only a couple hrs drive away and sometimes grow plants that is not available anywhere else. I bought two of those, my sister bought one and a friend bought one. This is the only one surviving. The other plants died within a couple of years. This one is probablly between 10 to 15 yrs old. It has been moved three times and is doing well where it is now. It gets sun but also shaded a bit but this year we haven't had much hot weather and it has done great. It has too be moved because I am redoing my beds and I am conflicted because I don't want to lose it. What to do and where to move it!...See Moresome blooms from my garden
Comments (11)Thanks, everyone! Seil, she is a wonderful rose I must say. She came to me as a mislabeled plant this spring but it has been a top performer this summer. She covers herself in blooms with very quick repeat. She doesn’t just repeat with a bloom or two but a full flush after flush. No blackspot. I am growing it in a pot since I don’t know where to plant it yet....See More

The bloom is a perfect HT with high center.
Claude Monet is from Holland. I don't know where to find it in the US.

I need advice from people with personal experience of Lady Marmalade and Betty Harkness to decide which one I have. In Europe LM is a great hit.

I wish I could purchase Claude Monet since I love striped roses. I saw this rose last month at the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. The pink shade was a bit darker than yours; it has a lovely fragrance.
