Suggestions for identification, please?

6 years ago

These images were sent to me with the back story the rose is said to have "been in the family since the Civil War." It grows in Southern California and a rooted plant was taken to Seattle where it died. Supposedly, it repeats. That's all the information I have been able to mine so far. I will request more about scent, prickles, perhaps further botanical images. But, based on just this, any ideas? Thanks!

My first thought was "a whiter version of Mme Pierre Oger", though that variety originated after the Civil War. A Bourbon?

It looks like some pics on HMF for 'Louise d'Arzens'.

I would use an H. tray for everything except cacti & succulents, you can prune roots anytime if the plant has been established in its location (and has always been indoors), but otherwise would wait for spring - and do it only if it's needed, to fit a certain pot (but not before its time), or to encourage new feeder roots, but not just because it's what people do to bonsai. Generally you'd cut 1/4 to 1/3 of the roots, like a shallow bowl, but only if there are a fair amount to sustain it up near the top, and if there's a hefty pad there, you can even take more on occasion. If the soil is really fast draining (mostly grit vs peat), you can water more often without a problem - though never let the pot sit in drain water - but generally the top layer at least should be dry between waterings... learn to read the tree's needs.

Hi - you have already posted this same post 3 days ago (Saturday Feb 13). There's no need to post the whole shebang all over, all that's needed is to post a comment under your entry of Feb 13 and it will bring the topic back up to the top. Just a little hint ;)

Have the label, Gardengal, (includes Winter Jewels series) and have other hellebores purchased, around the same time, which are Winter Jewels series and do look like their labelling. Thank you. That was my thinking also.

It’s not quite white enough to be ‘Boule de Neige’, is it? I think I see a little pink shading instead of green shading. Also a couple years off. Lisa

It does look like Louise d’Arzens in photos. Doesn’t Virginia grow this one? Lisa

Hi Lisa- my Louise Darzens here is not that shade of pink; it is usually dead white with green tinges. The Aussie photos at HMF do look similar, but they might not have the same rose? Or just different growing conditions...

'Blanche Lafitte', perhaps?

Honestly, my first thought was that it looked like 'Baltimore Belle'', but I guess if it were a climber, Kim would have said so?

Waiting to see more info,

Virginia

Everything I know about it so far, is posted above. The discussion on Face Book seems to be leaning toward Clothilde Soupert. Though I've never seen the flowers that large, which only means I've not seen them that large. Others have.

Baltimore Belle? 1848, spring or summer flush with "scattered later bloom" according to description.https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.245907&tab=1
