Comments (7)Is there anything more beautiful than old-garden roses? I think not. So worthy of looking at them over and over. I love, love, love Petite Orleannaise! The lavender and pink colors on it are dreamy. I must visit the Heritage some day soon! Masha, you are an angel to keep putting all your pretty photos on this site for us to enjoy.

Comments (11)I agree that in general Centifolias are not as Cast Iron as Gallicas and Damasks but there are some excellent ones. I second Fantin Latour-it is wonderful the Minis...Petite Lisette is another good one. The pure Cents like Reine des Cenfeuilles and Rose des Peintres are definitly more problematic-they are supposed to be sports or cultivars of R. centifolia. Tour de Malakoff is good but huge. It is one I dormant spray on principle but I dont know if it needs it. Blanchefleur is a lovely white Centifolia-but obviously mixed background-that is a good one. I think it is interesting that the Moss sports do not suffer from the same spotty problems as the non mosses. Why dont I have Shailer Provence? People are always saying it is a wonderful rose. patricia...See MoreWhich (one only, now) Centifolia should I get?
Comments (27)Eric, that's definitely one of the most beautiful striped roses. Don't be surprised to find you're finding spaces for "just one more centifolia." Hard to go wrong with any of them. Just don't do like I did in Fresno with Gros Choux de Hollande (not a true centifolia) and plant it where you plan on a 4'x4' bush, because it's more like 8'x8' or larger, but fantastic. I was constantly taking huge branches reaching to the street and tying them back to the fence. Thorny job, that. --Ron...See MoreMagnificent Moss - photos
Comments (11)With house painters and visiting relatives I am not making much of a headway on George Schenk's "Moss Gardening" but I did have a aha moment in chapter two that I thought I would share with you. "Mosses have no vascular system-no pipes that send up nutriments, or send down food from the leaves. In these plants the transportation of vital elements is accomplished osmotic-ally, from cell to cell." Alison, Your area sounds like a few spots I have in my yard that my DH tries to battle each year. I think though I am going to take note as to where in the yard it seems the happiest and start from there. Hosta, I think I have heard the same thing about buttermilk. At one time I tried to encourage moss to grow by mixing some moss and buttermilk in the blender and painting it on a rock. It didn't work for me but that could have been for a number of reasons but probably moisture. Triciae, Thanks for the great info and Moss Acres looks like the type of place that would be willing to do a lot of hand holding with a customer. I am planning on giving them a call to ask about how best to prepare the area before planting. Now it needs to be said hands down you win the New England Forum's gold medal for person most dedicated to their garden. Typically the medal is in the shape of a trowel but I think in your case it should be gold tweezers. dtd, Sounds as though you battle the same garden pest as I do...non gardener who thinks of the yard as an outdoor place to rather than a garden. I loved NZ the indescribable beauty goes without saying but it was the people that left the biggest impact on me. I was travelling alone and the open generosity of NZer's made all the difference in my trip. After searching for a couple of years I think NZ will be an easier transition from where we are now than anywhere else we have looked. The different gardeners that I spent time with were all extremely proud that NZ's native plants exhibit placed second at the flower show in England. There is a strong movement in landscape design towards the all native garden. I just brought home two NZ flax the other day that were the answer to my desire for year round tall spiky that wasn't yucca....See Moreportlandmysteryrose
