Buff Beauty habits??
Comments (16)THANK YOU FOLKS ! Thanks so much to all the kind 'rosies', what a wonderful community of garden-lovers!!!.... I was interested in Buff Beauty because K & M Roses lists it grafted on Fort., and I have gotten several orders from them and thinking of ordering more... starting with another 'Julia Child',.... but I'm looking for some tall roses for the back of the beds and BB seemed to fit the bill... and she is the right color, cream- yellow- orangey..... I do have Crepuscule a year now, and it seems to have very small, dime-size blooms, very sparse blooms, not at all like the pics or write-ups... but a nice color...... I'm going to think abt. it, what with all the info you folks have sent.. but I do want to get 'it' on Fort., too bad there are not more Nurseries growing the OGR's on Fort. it would make it so much easier. I have tried numerous times to root several of my own-root roses, and never any luck.... if I could do that, then learn how to graft onto Fort., it wouldn't be so bad....then I'd get more own-root and graft them.... I love Bermuda Kathleen also Old Blush and both are own-root, they are bloom-machines, OB is in a pot... I'm trying to get away from spraying, and the OGR's do well w/o spray... but the HTs defoliate from BS and if not for companion-plants in front of them they would be an eyesore....but this is familiar to you-all. Thanks again kind rose-people, I sure appreciate all your help, sally...See MoreRoses grown for their foliage, thorns or unique attributes
Comments (37)Sherry, I think that refers to rootstock suckers. If you cut them off it's like pruning the rootstock suckering growth, which is invigorated and grows back more enthusiastically than before. I'm glad you like the sound of R. gallica 'Splendens': it is a handsome creature. Mine has started suckering (top growth) in the last year or two, and perhaps I'll be able to get a bit of it and plant it somewhere a bit more accessible than its current position. I have a notion that some of these Asian jungle giants are just not adapted to our garden conditions. I've failed with R. laevigata, and 'Cooper's Burmese' is puny. Both of these could be just poor siting and site preparation, too. I mourn our lack of big trees able to support humongous climbers.

Comments (65)Outsteelers, your rose looks amazing. Not bad since you bought it in Fall and it is growing tons of buds already. Got to post pics as it blooms and I bet it will look beautiful. Can't wait to see the blooms :) My rose is called Ping Dong Yeu Ji . Sorry for the delay of name. jin...See MoreClytemnestra? Thoughts? Thorns?
Comments (4)My Clytemnestra isn't nearly as large as Malcolm's. I think she's around 7 years old. She's more a sprawling shrub for me, but isn't planted near support. I'd say she's about 4'x6', slightly splatted out; "sprawling" might be a more poetic description, lol. Lovely in the Spring flush. Not too thorny. Enchantingly variable in color according to conditions, from gold to apricot to pure pink. I would say she has average shade tolerance...for a Hyb Musk; which is to say better than most roses, but don't go planting her in full shade. Mine gets morning sun on the east side of my house, up to 1 or 2pm, and does great, but that's unobstructed sun for six+ hours, then mostly shade the rest of the day....See MorePlumeria Girl (Florida ,9b)
