New Kordes Roses on Newflora
Comments (55)Great info on zone 5 climbers, Bella Rosa - I agree with your assessments. For me, Jasmina has been reasonably cane hardy but not a very robust bloomer in my zone 5. Rosarium Uetersen has been rock solid hardy and fairly trouble free, so perhaps by z5b is a touch warmer than jjpeace, since it wasn't hardy there. I've only overwintered Amadeus one year but so far so good. Other hardy Kordes climbers have been Antique 89 and Harlekin - not always the entire cane surviving, but pretty good. Illusion has had no problems with my zone 5 winters but isn't as robust as Quadra or the othe Canadian explorers that Bella Rosa mentioned. I've found Florentina to be very cane hardy in my zone 5, better even than The Prince's Trust that started out more robust but hasn't been as enthusiastic in later years as Florentina. I really love that rose and recommend it in cold zones - it's robust and has a quick rebloom with terrific deep red color. I planted Quicksilver last summer but it didn't get established, so I'm replacing it this year. It's good to know it might appreciate some TLC. FWIW, I've tried Hella twice in my zone 5 yard and it hasn't overwintered at all. Moonlight I've tried at least 3 times, and I keep being sure it will survive each time, but it doesn't. Golden Gate I only tried once in a non-ideal spot, but it didn't survive either. Rosanna has gotten through one winter but I don't think it was fully cane hardy. I have Seminole Fire on order from Chamblees and am looking forward to seeing how it does. Thanks for the extra information on the new releases Chris - we're so glad you chime in with feedback!

Comments (2)No help, but you can still say 'Merry Xmas' as far as I'm concerned. There's one more day until the twelve days are done. Edit to add: I looked up the map for the Columbus Garden of Roses and they have Prairie Harvest and Prairie Joy planted in the same Earthkind test garden bed with Country Dancer. I don't recall them together, but most of their roses are well-placed....See MoreThe Spring 2020 Order(s)!
Comments (17)Why, thank you. Louise is actually going to be a gift to a friend that loves orange blooms. I'm hoping it's a better option for a completely green (haha) gardener versus something like Fragrant Cloud or Tropicana. My friend expressed interest in Kordes's 'Las Vegas' due to its colouring, but I was leery. I don't want the first experience too riddled with black spot. Then again, almost everything here except purer rugosas and native species get black spot. Even the Eurasian Rosa eglanteria will get it here. Sooooo, in regard to the post title, I've gone rose raving mad and ordered a final slew of roses from Regan's... America (once had a sad body bag that gave lovely blooms I would cut for my Grandmothers AND Great Grandma) Blue Moon (strangely, I love those greyish blooms) Gold Glow (had this one once before when I was a high schooler and thought I didn't like it, but I do remember it performing and blooming so very well) Good as Gold Graham Thomas (own root; love the rich colour of fresh blooms with their odd, dry "tea" scent and to be honest, expect a bs disaster) Papa Meilland (absolutely loved this when I had it in the early 2000's as a high school student) Queen Elizabeth (a friend's mom had a body bag one that became a returning giant, even here in the cold North) Red Masterpiece (reminded me of a time I was with my Grandparents 2016 or before looking at plants at nurseries and garden centers in Panama City) Savannah (own root; new Kordes roses seem incredibly healthy and durable. My own Mme Anisette will be going into its third year and is doing better every year) Sedona (orange and I LOVE the scent. It is just like that of ripe pears) Sunset Celebration (something I recall being new when in high school; I also consider the celebration of experience and wisdom those in their sunset golden years have to offer us) Tess of the D'Urbervilles (own root; had a Dr. Huey grafted one in HS that grew and bloomed great but was definitely a thorny octopus) Thomas A Becket (intrigued at general description and wanted to try, but not at DAR-USA prices) White Dawn (there's something about hybrid wichuraianas I find absolutely captivating and fantasy-like versus hybrid multifloras) Whew. I think I ought to give my pocketbook a rest for the rest of the season! Happy gardening! Steven...See MoreUpdates on Tangerine Skies from cold zones?
