Princesse de Monaco
Comments (9)I lost three own roots roses this winter, including one that was two years old. So no, own roots don't guarantee survival. But it does make me less anxious since any growth is going to be the right rose instead of having to worry that the late growth I'm seeing is the rootstock. As for Princesse de Monaco, I really like mine. It is short here (less than 2 feet) but it blooms well for its size and the blooms are lovely and fragrant and last a long time. Gemini is also a great rose with similar coloring although my Gemini can turn almost orange in the right weather. Another good one with similar coloring is Falling in Love, but that one is more pink than the others. And fell free to ignore the zone info on hmf. I do all the time. It's only if someone in my area has grown the rose and had it die that I worry. And even then I'll give it a shot if it looks good....See MoreThe lovely Charlene de Monoco
Comments (18)Gorgeous April. Mine got wind whipped in the storm we had recently so I had to prune about a foot or two off since they were broken canes. I won't have blooms for a while. I also decided to move them to a spot where they would get a little less radiant heat since I was pruning them down a bit anyway. Mine seem to be water hogs. Have you noticed that?...See MoreAnyone grow both Princess Charlene de Monaco and DA’s Boscobel?
Comments (34)Lol, ok I can see that being funny “haha”, as long as that Tacca(sp?) plant puts out more than one bloom per season. I’ve always wanted to grow the white version, but it’s just so dry here! They’re so exotic looking. I know they can be grown indoors, but I run the A/C like crazy all summer, so it’s dry indoors too. Im finally posting the pictures of my pruned Princess Charlene de Monaco. Diane had me second guessing myself for a bit, but no, this is how I’ve always treated HT’s. I noticed around town that all the HT’s were pruned down to 12-18”, as well, so it must be a So CA thing. If I wanted PCDM to cover an arbor, I wouldn’t do this, but I need all the space I can get. My sweet peas need a place to climb while the giant roses have been cut back. This is what’s left of her. I’d like to cut that central and left cane a little shorter, but either my pruners are getting dull, or I’m getting weaker. I hope it’s the former, but fear it’s the latter. If I can remember to ask one of my sons, I’ll have him trim it a little shorter. Those canes are SO thick! I couldn’t cut through them any lower, even with my good Felco’s. These were taken near dark, so they’re not the best. This is PCDM #2 next to #1. The first one was just like it a year ago. She grew fast! These 6 blooms/buds were my reason for leaving the few long canes unpruned. Was it worth it? It certainly was! Having 6 of these beauties in early February is definitely worth leaving the canes on for a few extra weeks. Look at those long stems. Some buds are a little bug damaged, and twisted at the neck, but I’m glad to have them. I really love this rose! Lisa...See MorePrincesse Charlène de Monaco - 2019 - Zone 8B
Comments (17)Rifis, Extra spraying of the tips is not necessary for midge. More is not better. Just enough is best, any more is just waste. On roses like: Quietness, Earth Angel, Quick Silver, etc., which get no black spot here, when it's their turn to be sprayed, only to about 4* down on the developing tip is sprayed. These growing tips are not sprayed any more at all once the developing bud thereon is garden pea sized. Midge no longer lays its eggs on tips at that state of maturity here. Essentially, if there are no vulnerable growing tips at all on one of my black spot proof roses, it gets no spray applied at that session. The method I use for midge control also keeps rose slugs and cabbage butterfly caterpillar damage to about zero, since they target upper growth also. The most midge vulnerable growing tips are those growing from basal breaks. They grow so quickly, and although the Bayer insecticide is systemic, it does not translocate to new, additional growth made after the last spray session. It only is absorbed into plant tissue with which it initially makes contact. Since basal breaks grow so quickly, just a few days after a spraying, they are vulnerable to midge attack. Every two week spray sessions are not frequent enough for basal breaks getting adequate protection. Moses...See More
