Leonardo Da Vinci....
Comments (13)Brooke...you have a good sense of daylilies. I took "numerous" photos of this one. The color in this photo is dead on. And it "is" in the process of being converted. I bloomed this one three years ago. If I hadn't kept the bed it was born in a third year, I never would have had this one. This was the only time I ever let a bed bloom the third year..it first bloomed the third year, being crowded out by it's siblings. That first year it had one scape and 4 buds. I now have 15 scapes and the bud count has increased dramatically. Two top hybridizers, whose names you would know have more than a casual interest in it. I hesitated to show it, but I don't think many hybridizers get on this forum and you folks have been so kind to me, I wanted to let you see it first. Just don't tell anyone! thanks.

Comments (8)I agree with your comments it really is a nice reproduction of OGR. jeanz5il: If you are looking for a rose that looks almost the same, but is very fragrant try to grow an OGR "Louise Odier". It does not have the same disease resistance and needs spraying, but It has a very strong old rose scent and is one of the best and most vigorous, and hardy of the repeat blooming Bourbonroses:...See MoreQuestion About Leonardo da Vinci
Comments (25)Ann......first I will have to find my Leo photos.....then figure out how to post them here. After my computer got Windows upgraded, I dont know how. I think I have the climber as it has arching canes. Mine isnt a large one - never did have to trim it back. If I remember correctly from last spring - it bloomed again but not like the huge flush in the spring. I am going to pay more attention this year. It is a gorgeous thing - a real stunner on that first bloom flush. Healthy too but I do spray. Whether it survived the polar vortex last week remains to be seen though........I searched it out and bought it from a photo in Flower & Garden magazine - the photo was so striking. Fortunately, the name was on the photo so I looked around and found it, dont recall where I got it, maybe Hortico - that was years ago. It didnt do well out on my front fence - perhaps too hot and wasnt in a rich enough bed, but it loves where it is and though it probably should be more in back of the bed, its at the entrance of a patio in front of an ornate scrolled archway. Its not getting too big so am leaving it there. I keep a metal fan shaped arbor behind it to tie canes up with. Think I would like to get the bush - wondering if the bush form blooms all year?

Comments (44)I agree with Lilyfinch, Ben, that looks like Leo. Those big, glossy, deep green leaves give it away as much as the blooms which are very full and you can see the eye clearly in the center. It'a a great looking bush even when it's not in bloom. Mine takes a rest between cycles. It's not in bloom continually for me but might be in a warmer climate. It maintains it's neat and tidy shape. No wayward canes, no drooping to one side or developing bare spots. Even the blooms are uniform in their shape and size. I don't know if it's a negative or just a characteristic, but the petal tips can get lighter as the blooms age. Maybe it's the full sun, or something that can be controlled....See MorenanadollZ7 SWIdaho
