Gallica Season is starting!
Comments (38)I'm not French, and it's been a while since I took French in college, but I think you would want to pronounce 'Crécy' somewhere in between Cress-see and Cray-see. And if you want to roll your 'r' just a bit, I won't call you frenchified... I have serious Gallica envy, but not to the point where I'm gonna move somewhere where I'd need to shovel snow. I was surprised that RU had 'Cardinal Richelieu' on their sale list, but I guess his China ancestry makes him capable of managing without as much prolonged cold? I'd have ordered him in a heartbeat, if I'd thought he'd do well without however many chill hours he presumably needs. Come to think of it, one of those Florida nurseries had 'James Mason' in stock. I wonder what's up with that?...See MoreMy Gallicas are REALLY purple!....(photos)
Comments (28)Celeste, I, too, love the purple ramblers..I've got a collection of them growing around my circular arched "Mottisfont" structure. I've got Violette, Veilcheinbleu, Bleu Magenta, Rose-Marie Viaud, Amadis, and Donau!...I think that's all of them that I have. They do get somewhat chlorotic, but I think that's the nature of the plant. I've planted clematis to go up them as well...hoping to hide some of the chlorosis and some of the nakedness at the bottoms. Robert...See MoreGallica Share 2020, Anyone?
Comments (120)I know I posted some gallica pics when this post was first formed, but I must have forgotten to press submit! I love looking at everyone's pictures!

I'll see if I have any pictures left on my phone...I got these. , but alas, I can only guess at the id...I wish I had a way to save them with names, cause my mind just can't remember. I can only tell you how much I love and enjoy them, and wish to aquire more! Lol...See MoreTime to start a 2021 Gallicas in bloom thread?
Comments (173)Thank you all for the interesting questions and discussion involving T and TS! Paul, thank you for your photo and description. I 100% agree that MetteBee has TS. And Monarda your TS is lovely! TS is my absolute favorite rose. Ever. T is difficult to get and seems to be really mixed up with TS in commerce. Paul’s photo is a great reference! From a distance, T’s flowers resemble a yellow stamen-exposed variety like La Belle Sultane. Up close the blooms are usually a few petals fuller than La Belle. TS, on the other hand, is quite fluffy, even when exposing its stamens and even taking into account petal count variation and the age of individual blooms. Carol...See Moreportlandmysteryrose
