Young Lycidas
Comments (17)Hi Maria, Thank you. I like the show that the Jasmine puts on annually, and am possibly going to add Arabian Jasmine near my RdV in the front yard. All of my own root roses, with the exception of two (purchased as one gallon plants), were planted in September when it began cooling off during the night. YL is a bare root rose on Dr. Huey, planted during the winter. The pot and roses in this side yard section; most of which are Austin's, all receive about two hours of early morning sun, and then thanks to the balcony and house, they are shaded or in open shade, then they receive about two to 2/12 hours of early afternoon sun. They are in total shade during the hottest part of the day. At my last home, I grew a floribunda in a pot where it remained for 5 years and thrived. It only received about 4-4.5 hours of sun. I have only grown one rose in a pot long term and tried to replicate the conditions. The Young Lycidas was potted in late January. Jaspermplants, I am purchasing a Bougainvillea today, for a pot I purchased yesterday:). I've read that they like cramped roots and do well in pots. I would not place roses in pots here either, except for the area in question. There's a large tree slightly in front but to the North of the area, plus a patio/ balcony and house to the east of it.

Comments (14)Well, I'm a year and a half late to this conversation, but I'm curious what you ended up choosing. It sounds like you are a lover and seeker of the same brilliant rose color I am. Out of roses I've personally grown, Big Purple is my favorite, and I've had great luck with it. It seems to get better every year. Photos never seem to do it justice! David Austin's William Shakespeare 2000 is probably in a tie with it: I don't think anyone else mentioned it here and I am surprised. It is a stunner. My DA Lycidas has not been all that thrilling in color or in bloom shape and size. DA The Dark Lady is a magnificent magenta, but the one I have has become ridden with fungus. It may be its location, so I will be moving it soon to see if it can be cured. Munstead Wood (when I've seen it at nurseries) always looks more black-red and depressing to me, even though when I see it online the pictures look quite magenta. The two plants I have been most coveting are Blackberry Nip and David Austin's Indigo. I am desperate for them! I can't manage to procure Blackberry Nip as I can only find it available in Australia (they won't ship to U.S.). DA Indigo I am hoping to find available in the spring--as of now, I am not finding it available....See MoreMy young Young Lycidas is doing well his first spring!
Comments (6)Thanks! Summers I think you will like it. I wasn't so sure about this one at first. With the funky shaped leaves and the floppy habit... but other peoples' photos convinced me to give it a try. I'm glad I did! The leaves are small so their funky shape doesn't bug me as much as if they were huge and funky... and it's not really that floppy for me. At least with the obelisk and the companion plants around it. Lots and lots of fragrant blooms!...See MoreHalf-half Young Lycidas
Comments (2)I had the same thing happen to a "Portland from Glendora" bloom a few years ago. I would imagine in these cases it's due to a mutation while the flower is forming that disables one of the genes needed for pigment formation in that part of the flower, since the color of the novel half is lighter. But, always fun to see! Here was mine:...See MoreRelated Professionals
