Speaking of rose names: playful combos
Comments (16)JFK and Camelot ended up next to each other here. Wasn't thinking of the names when they were planted. Don't have Titantic, LOL, Dolly Parton is next to Iceberg here. Wonder why Deb insisted on planting Hanky Panky between Ultimate Pleasure and Cuddle Up?? She wanted X-Rated and Pucker Up with them but I talked her into planting them on the other side of the yard.... away from Hot Tamale :) Deb is almost Always a Lady but has little devil mixed in there....See MoreMystery Rose- bizarre crimson/ bruise color
Comments (5)Thanks for your comment, Olga! In real life this rose has a considerably deeper color than 'Belle de Crecy' (at least than the 'Belle de Crecy' that is in the IBG rose garden). After looking through the photos of 'Robert le Diable' on helpmefind.com, I am convinced that is the correct ID. The photos match every detail that I can see, from the center shape of the mature flower to the shape of the buds (and of the leaves), to the faint streaking/ striping of the petals. It even appears that the people who posted there had the same difficulty that I did in getting the true colors to show up in a photo! :)...See More6/15 Peonies, Roses and More.
Comments (9)Cindy there isnt much to see in terms of overall garden this year.. Ill give you some examples, the rain made all of my rose bushes and lots of other perenials lay flat to the ground, nothing is supposed to take the amount of rain we had in that short of time. Duchesse drowned by rain.. Front Garden side Path.. this actually looked better a week ago with double scots in bloom.. I have better looking spots but just overall, I have to enjoy individual blooms this year and forgo the overall scheme. Silverkelt...See MoreThose purple Hybrid China / Gallica / Centifolia roses
Comments (42)Virtually all "purple" roses can vary greatly depending upon all the usual issues...soil/water pH, nutrients, heat, intensity of light, moisture, etc. The only "purple" rose I've yet grown which didn't have been Cardinal Hume and Purple Buttons. All the others have expressed anything from almost white to almost the right color expected from them. Those pigments demand the right range of conditions to express themselvs appropriately. It hasn't mattered whether the rose was an OGR or a modern "purple". Some have behaved better when provided protection from the light and heat intensities. Some have required acidifying the soil, a few times to the extreme. Some have only provided the desired colors in very early springs or late falls during unusually cooler and wetter conditions....See MoreUser
