Climbing rose for arbor in Zone 5???
Comments (22)Thanks the morden man, they are pretty when they are in bloom.....just planted Blossomtime and Awakening rose bands next to them, hopefully in 3 years I will see some re-blooms out of the same spots. Also I will try deadheading after their first bloom this year.....I might buy another New Dawn and give it a try if I can find a grafted one at any local nursery...... I see you're in Ontario, there is a Niagara Parks Botanical Garden, it has over 2400 roses, I love there! Thanks again...See MoreJos'ee Lilac for Zones 2-9
Comments (11)I ordered Josee THIS year. I tried it in Fl. last year it was almost dead when I got it. It died. I have my first blooms on Josee now like 8 little flowers but I AM thrilled !!!! TAMPA BAY here. It had its Winter Chill already I assume....... I grow a lot of plants that people say do not grow above 8 ... I have 6 or so different types of hollyhocks in bloom now . I grow mainly roses ....dont think I could do an Alba, ya never know tho. Anyways ....no scent I can detect ...for now... I wasn't expecting the lilacs like my mom grew but a lilac is a lilac. Now isn't Colby Wishing Star also rated to 9 ? Anyways,I will try to report next year on it? I assume this is its first bloom ever to be sure.... I have never deadheaded a reblooming lilac soooo any help would be appreciated. The wood isnt really hard so I feel crazy for wanting to cut it ..... can someone help ?...See MoreMy Roses in Zone 9a - 2016
Comments (200)Khalid: Your Michelangelo is stunning & gorgeous color-blend. LOVE THAT !! Port Sunlight (deep orange) and Molineux (yellow/orange) are known to be LOW in thorns & smaller & compact bush with little scent. Golden Celebration is wider-spaced large thorns. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.225184 If it has very large thorns but wider-spaced apart, and vigorous & big bush, it could be Crown Princess Mag. (medium fruity scent large climber with thick stem). Below is cluster of Crown Princess Mag. in June, I used sulfate of potash, resulting in cluster-blooming. Crown Princess starts deep orange-yellow, but fades to lighter yellow. But when I compare my CPM leaves to your "Golden Celebration", My CPM' leaf is bigger & darker & more elongated, versus roundish & smaller Golden Celebration or Teasing Georgia leaves. Bloom color changes, with high-phosphorus fertilizer or compost, blooms shift to the red-zone, resulting in apricot/orange, rather than yellow. Since I used sulfate of potash (high potassium) my CPM is yellowish, rather than deep orange. CAUTION: sulfate of potash, anything high in potassium tend to BLEACH blooms. One fall I put too much sulfate of potash on W.S. 2000 and the blooms became whitish, rather than deep red/purple. UP the potassium, you'll lower phosphorus (needed to shift bloom to red-zone). Below is your "Golden Celebration" which I copied here to compare:...See Morebareroot tree roses not leafing out (help this newbie out) zone 8b
Comments (46)K s- thanks I think that's what I'll do. Since u got credit, I might as well leave them be and see if they produce and maybe I'll get a couple free rose trees out of it. I never knew about the antique rose nursery, I'll have to check them out at some point. The nursery down my block and the Wells Medina both carry rose standards but since I have a credit I rather save my money and buy from JP again, although I'm a little nervous about the same thing happening....See Moresuncoastflowers
