?Silverado, Rock & Roll, Over the Moon?
Comments (13)Lynn, when I moved, all my roses came with me except for 4 that I gave to neighbor friends. It's less work because they were already all in pots. Allison, Brigadoon was terrific for me when I lived in Mobile. That time I did leave quite few roses behind, taking only young plants and rooted cuttings. That plant was so big and robust that I didn't want to "sentence it" to life in a pot. But it is a beauty. Regarding Over the Moon, I'm missing Valencia, which was a gangly grower for me but with beautiful and fragrant blooms that lasted well. I've kinda been on the lookout for a worthy apricot replacement for it. Regarding Rock & Roll, I think I'm going to have to get it to go along with the Red Intuition and Pink Intuition I already have. Used to grow Scentimental, but the blooms always shattered after just a day or two; too frustrating. As for Silverado, jury's still out for me. I have grown Paradise--several years. It's striking and a great bloomer of modestly sized blooms, but that raspberry edging is quit a different effect than paler lavender. It was a good bush but extra sensitive to garden chemicals; always needed extra diligent watering. If I had unlimited space, I'd still have it, but it was replaced by Fragrant Plum, another good rose, but it has not been the impressive bloomer that Paradise was. I recently bought a young rooted Blue Moon from Heirloom Roses. Nice delicate lavender color, but the bloom form still hasn't impressed me. I'm reserving judgment until it's third year. We'll see. Always on the lookout for a worthy lavender, though. If I don't buy Silverado, I may try Enchanted Evening. I just don't know if I'll be able to get cutting roses from it or if they'll all be in big bloom clusters. I don't have many floribundas, largley because of my bias toward HT form. Thanks for the input so far, everyone! Mike...See MoreRock & Roll, All American Magic
Comments (2)I grow Rock & Roll, but we have mild winters. Here, mine is narrow at the base and widening to about 4 to 5 feet at top. No bare knees...foliage to the ground. Beautiful blooms in the spring and fall. Here, mine will keep blooming all summer, but blooms are much smaller and they lose most of their splashes and stripes when it heats up...become mostly red with faint pink variegation. Very fragrant even in the heat, though. Blooms may keep their red and white coloring in the summer for you in your cooler zone.

Comments (2)We've been so busy with the show and DJ-ing live that I have not visited very often. I'm not Vikki or Suzy. Suzy left the show in search of the good life, and we aren't listed on the webpage (which hasn't been updated in a few years, but we've asked for it to be done). I'm been busy compiling a list of sings for spring so that I can do a series of Flower Power Hour segments with all sorts of songs about spring, gardening etc.......See MoreRock & Roll rose, please share if you have it
Comments (15)I've grown Rock and Roll for 7 or 8 years now. I started the project of digging up a lot of my roses and replacing with more bs resistant ones a couple of years ago. Rock and Roll is the only striped I've kept in the process. Not because it is bs resistant in our high humidity(not my worst offender, but certainly not my best), but because I love it so much. It is one of my favorite cut flowers...flushes produce enough flowers to make a big bouquet and still have plenty left on the bush; it lasts a long time in the vase and smells wonderful. The bush gets big here...about 6 ft tall by 4 ft wide and has flush after flush all season. As already mentioned, color is different in the heat...in spring and fall, it is very much a red & white striped/splashed rose that eventually ages to red, but in summer it is a red & pink rose with striping and splashes that are much less detectable and it quickly ages to red. I'm sure I will replace it when I find a fragrant, striped, bs resistant rose to rival it, but until then, it stays....See MoreCori Ann - H0uzz violated my privacy
