Just in case any of you eye up Beth's delicious looking morgengruss like I did , it's available at high country roses! I was so excited to stumble on it . Matt said he just put it up and this weekend will add about ten more variety so I hope something else I wish for turns up .

OMG you guys have to get it!! I got mine in 2006 from Pickering (miss that supplier!!) so it's grafted on Multiflora. Took a couple of yrs to really get going, but I probably didn't fertilize it much (still don't). It's now a virtual monster! I will caution.... it doesn't repeat bloom much at all, but it could be because it has such a massive, long-lasting spring bloom, and plus the fact that I don't ever seem to get around to deadheading it til Fall (if at all). I imagine if you keep on top of that, and maybe feed it occasionally, it might produce more than what mine does. But OMG the sheer amount of blooms is pumps out in the spring, I can see how it just gets worn out from that! I know I would! LOL

Here... let me tempt you...

What a lovely climber! Thank you for calling attention to it, and Matt at High Country Roses for offering it.

Very tempting. The blooms look huge! I like the apricot pink color and it has a fragrance too.

Parade Day, new striped rose at High Country Roses for $16.95/liner.

Lilyfinch, I'm tempted to. If I do, there is no rose bed spot available for it, so it will have to be container grown for a while, which may be a good idea. I will then be able to study it further to determine its strengths and weaknesses for a couple years. As a liner size it will take a couple years for it to get large enough to get a reasonable evaluation. What drew my interest to Parade Day are its fragrance, and the possibility it is only lightly, subtly striped, and with mostly light pink stripes as the photo shows, hopefully not also having bold, white striped blooms as well. I do not like most striped roses in the garden, especially those with dramatic striping. They, in full sun, look diseased to me (mildewed, bleached, or hit with weed killer). In a vase, under different light, they look great. I grow roses mostly for their garden beauty, not for arrangements. To my eyes, subtly, very mildly striped roses are lovely in the garden as well as in a vase. Moses

It was held at the Denver Botanical Gardens and I think all the buildings there are pretty spectacular. Surprisingly the parking decks were almost full when we got there. I think it was because today was so gorgeous. I didn't get any roses but there were a number of people leaving with garden carts to help them with their haul. I think High Country Roses must have grabbed various plants that were Colorado appropriate from their flowering stock and brought them. Everything had a bloom. :-) Matt mentioned how Weeks Roses had cancelled their order but sold them a propogating license instead and so all his staff has been madly propagating the Weeks patented plants. They are even going out to member's gardens to get cuttings. I think he said they had 600 "parent" plants in house. In previous conversations he had mentioned that Weeks Roses sells them plugs that they then grow. It sounded like no plugs this year hence all the propagating. Matt has a great presentation style and incorporated alot of humor in his talk. There were alot of helpful 'science fair' style presentations for people like myself to come up to speed easily and quickly on all things pertaining to rose growing. I think they thought there was less attendance than usual due to Coronavirus but I think there were more people there than I thought would be. However, this is the first time I have attended. The other outfit selling roses was Bailey Bare Root Plants. They had bare root roses and peonies for sale. The bare root plants were pretty big, hence the garden carts. Bailey Nurseries I was pretty pumped to get a door prize but I was hoping for one of Matt's High Country Roses Gift Certificates. Some other lucky people got those. In my door prize basket I am most excited to try the rose food. We tried Mile High Rose feed last year and it drove the dogs insane! They kept trying to eat it. This new one is liquid so hopefully won't have that affect.

High Country Roses has 'new for 2021' roses!!!

Joey, If there are more new roses for 2021 coming, and in the numbers are proportionate to the roses beginning with the letter "S", a much used letter, High Country Roses will be off the charts with new offerings. I suspect the "S" phenomenon is a one in a million chance coincidence. Moses

Susan, You are correct! Many roses didn't have a tag so I may have pulled it from another in the region. I was always careful to note where I pulled it from and put it back in the exact same place. So I'm thinking I pulled the wrong tag. I will take that picture down. Looking at the web site I think the one I had a picture of was Double Delight as their display is alphabetical and that would have been next to Dublin Bay.

I love apricot so much and there is something so romantic to me about it! I know it's flouncy and not perfectly formed but I love it. I hope it does well here!

I looked at the HCR offerings again and I couldn't believe how many treasures were being offered since I got my last order.

Beth, that is beautiful. Great photos and comments. I think you are right that it takes time to make such large blooms, thus the slow repeat. Each bloom is a treasure.

Oh Beth, that's stunning! Does anyone know how well it perform s in the heat? I don't have room for it myself, but my friend Sarah is becoming a rose lover. Her birthday is coming up soon. I had the wonderful opportunity to acquire some amazing roses from "Cliff's Low Desert Garden", this week. He's downsizing and let us come dig up roses. As a result, I am cramped for space and have a large gift certificate to spend at High Country Roses. She lives in Bakersfield, CA and it gets even hotter there than it does at my place. Thanks, Lisa

Oh, Beth, that is so hitting below the belt!!!!!!!! I don’t have room!!! However, I did order Alchymist from HCG and I think I may have to call on Monday and trade that for Morgengruss. It’s that pale silvery pink floppy droopy rose thing with a scent going on that really gets to me. Gotta have it!!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT PHOTOS!!!!!

Beth, that's a beauty! It looks like it takes some shade happily in your climate. Of course z6 part shade is very different from z9 part shade. I wonder how it does for fall color or if it sets hips. I'd need this rose it if it does!

Edited, because I logged in to HMF - this rose likely does set hips. It's got four generations of descendants.

It IS stunning! In some of Beth’s pictures, ‘Morgengruss’ somehow reminds me of a very full petaled version of one of my favorite OGR’s, ‘Felicia’. Does anyone else see any bloom resemblance to the Hybrid Musk ‘Felicia’, or is it just me? The color of the blooms and the way the clusters hang down so fetchingly, brought ‘Felicia’ to mind. Sometimes I wish ‘Felicia’ had more petals, and ‘Morgengruss’ almost looks that way. It’s truly gorgeous! Thanks for the amazing pictures, Beth. I think you’ve just done High Country Gardens a tremendous favor! Lisa

Lilyfinch,

Morgengruss has a magnificent flower in bud, exhibition stage, and just when fully open. Then it goes....well, something uncontrolled looking, something like much beloved Phyllis Diller's hairdo. Are you OK with that?

You may have two roses in one, a lovely, elegant, classy bloom, that goes outrageous, lovably wild....a grand finale indeed.

Hello Moses ! It's a little messy but I find it on this particular rose very charming. Isn't it funny how sometimes these things are unacceptable others just what we like ? The color and size are what really draw me . It does look like Felicia in coloring! I have Felicia so I'll be happy to compare .

Rebecca - I was going to order alchemist also . Gosh the blooms look great but the reports on blackspot chased me away . I hope yours does great for you and that you'll share photos!

Sultry im going to do myself a favor and not look up rubens because I do not want to know ! Haha

I also just got Florence Bower's Pink Tea. I have been in love ♡ with that rose since Jeri posted about it. Rose Petals Nursery has it now so I had to get it lol. Definitely don't look that one up haha.

OH GOOD GRIEF, SULTRY!!!!! I just decided to get both Alchymist AND Morgengruss because of Lily’s comment and then you throw in this GORGEOUS tea rose. I thought I was safe because I can’t grow them here anyway, but then I looked and got slammed with that beautiful color and form and now I think I might have to move to a warmer climate just so I can grow that rose!!!!!
