Comments (37)Jeri,I totally agree that most rose vendors (maybe with the exception of David Austin, lol) do what they do out of love. This is one reason why,in the past I've tended to not concern myself with taking cuttings : I'd just buy multiples. Ridiculously childish and irresponsible of me, I know; way too expensive, I can't afford it, and after all, I do what I do out of love, too! no money coming in. So I'm ashamed of my past behaviour, but I'm glad that you put that up; it explains though does not justify me. And I am totally unrepentant of the fact that I bought 3 Annie Laurie Mc Ds, for example ( the thing about Carolyn Supinger seems so wrong to me also because it was bred by our very own forum friend, Paul Barden,not by some long-ago person of the past!!! so this type of reason alone motivated me to get Kim's Carlin's Rhythym and Lauren when I could...) and 3 Karlsruhe's (beautiful, beautiful rose that seems by now to be available here in Europe exclusively from Peter Beales! Laguna is NOT a "replacement"! the colour is totally diffferent!) Because by having multiples, I have some assurance that at least one plant will make it to maturity in my harsh garden (that is a real concern with me for Annie, since that rose is slow to grow as a plant; just wants to flower, and since I can't get out to my garden on a regular basis even de-budding is a struggle). Kate, what incredibly beautiful roses. Absolutely love those colours....See MoreGive Me Gaudy! Your most Flamboyant Rose
Comments (78)Diane, Now I am trying to figure out what was it about Augusta that I decided not to get it, after all. Maybe it was not available? :) I still have Dee-lish in the small pot it came with from Wallmart. I tortured it like this the entire summer; it survived, but obviously couldn't do much in those crammed conditions. I was thinking to dig up Dick Clark and place Dee-lish in its place, to let it show what it can do. But what if I were to do this with Augusta Luise instead? Or maybe put Augusta in a container? The picture here makes it sound like it would do well in a container too: https://www.rosen-stange.de/images/product_images/original_images/augusta-luise-k-bel.jpg Then again, we all know what pictures on the Internet say it's possible and what actually IS possible. How some people get so much bloom from one plant is still beyond me! I really need to get rid of one to get in another one, I can't keep adding. Yet I somehow can't make myself get rid of Dick Clark, as much as I hate the color. It seems like a lot of trouble to dig it up, plus it grows large and sturdy, blooms pretty well, and blooms have a relatively long vase life. But IT IS my one garish rose....See MoreYour 2022 Rose Companion Plant Champs
Comments (22)I have no favorites since I literally began my rose garden four days ago, and as of now not a single rose has been planted. I did buy three pots of pale pink dianthus to plant in front of the roses when they arrive here on 10/30, and later, if all goes well and my plants don't get eaten by the ground squirrels, I plant to intersperse the roses with some blue and purple companion plants, the type not yet determined, although everything I see on this post looks gorgeous. I'd also like to have reblooming irises as I did in my previous rose garden. Limonium perezii (sea lavender) was also a favorite near the roses....See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
