Christmas Tidings

Feliz Navidad blooming down in the foliage, and splotchy. The flowers were prettier last year, but I don't think it was this short

Not sure what this one is, it is a heavy bloomer, I received it as something like RAdiation Biohazard. Someone had suggested it might be HEartbeat of Heaven, so I ordered it to compare. Don't you know the blooms failed on the new one so will be next year before I can compare. Bloom time is very comparable.

Have you used that outside? I used it on garage window for my mom & it has held up fine but it doesn't get any sun & door goes out to covered patio. If it is Gallery Glass Paint I think it said no direct sun(or rain, snow etc) I do remember someone made a huge shower door or something like that covered with florals but I think it was in corner of porch that was covered. It was about 1 yr ago, shortly after I came on. Nice work, thanks for showing! Jan

I think I want to try a Hybrid Tea (I think)
Q
Comments (43)
Because many Austin roses are nearly as hybridized as Hybrid Teas, (being bred mostly from Florabunda class roses) the earlier H.T.s should go well with them. The first two H.T.s, have a growth habit that is bushier and more attractive than the typical H.T.. 1. "Snowbird" is a white H.T. that has an old fashioned bloom style. Very fragrant, of floral perfume with a hint of lemon zest. 2. cl. "Mrs. Herbert Stevens" I would grow this because all the white Tea roses I've grown have mildewed badly in my organic rose garden, near San Francisco. "M.H.S. blooms early with the Tea roses in spring, while other H.T.s must wait c. a month later to bloom. Bushy and as floriferous as a Tea, it can be grown as a free standing bush. I hope vintage gardens sells it again soon. 3. "Sunday Lemonade" is the light pink sport of "Lemon Spice". S.L. opens to show a frilly old fashioned bloom style. It's real strength in beauty is as a cut flower. Fragrant. 4. "W.E. Lipcott" I saw this rose at Luannes and thought it was an H.P. at first. It has that plush style of bloom. It is very fragrant, of damask rose. The color blends from a rich rose-pink through rose-red, and would be stunning beside, or in front of a taller white rose. Luanne uses organic methods too, and the bush appeared to be quite healthy, in our powdery mildew prone climate. Lux.

I saw the post about RRD...I think all my wild dog roses have it!
Q
Comments (3)
The wild rose is probably Rosa multiflora and most often the blooms are white, although there's a naturally happening light pink sport that shows up every so often. (Rosa caninda, the dog rose, has larger pink blooms and can be a more elegant rose, holding itself up in a vase shape.) Can you talk your husband into bushhogging this weekend? IF your temperatures are not yet in the 70s, burn them (with proper permits). Multiflora isn't supposed to be red at this time of the year nor are you supposed to be able to see that something is wrong from a distance. Please read my e-book. Come back here with questions. And could you tell us which county you live in? Ann

Thanks cyn . We used to grow a New Dawn rose on the south gate arbour. We swagged some of the canes onto chains running down the south alley in an attempt to control its long and very vigorous growth! DH called it The Killer Rose because of the thorns and how fast it grew. It got to be a hazard and also started to get Black Spot. We removed it in 2010: (note the safety goggles and rose gauntlets - but, foolishly, no shirt - it was a very hot day in July 2010.) DH shed blood that day! :-) Now we only grow non-thorny things on the arbours (mostly clematis). So consider the maintenance issues when planting on whatever arbour you might get.

Love the garden shot! It looks like you have more room for daylilies ; ) I really like Party Pinafore, it’s a bit unique.

Gorgeous garden shot! I think Christmas Tidings is my favorite. Thanks for posting your short Feliz Navidad. It makes me feel better about all my short plants. I don't think your NOID is Heartbeat of Heaven. The edge is different and HOH doesn' have a halo around the watermark. At least mine has never shown one.

You must be nearing peak! Peak here is usually a week after the fourth, but believe it will be earlier this year. Your noid has a rounder bloom than the H of H I have seen. Also, H of H has more loosely looping ruffles. Party Pinafore can be quite a looker, though likes warmer mornings.

Kay, Green Rainbow did pretty well last year after planting in the spring, I am very pleased with it this year.

Sherry, i liked Party Pinafore when I first saw it, and so happy to get it. It did not bloom its first year, and has not produced nearly the number of scapes as there are fans, but I do love the flower.

Thank you Lori, thoughtI would put in at least one shot of a garden bed. I do have room for more daylilies, not the energy, although I could get rid of my iris, they really take my energy trying to keep the weeds down and constantly dividing them.

Debra, I thought of you when I bought Christmas Tidings and Feliz Navidad, your pictures convinced me I needed more red. FN has not reached its height last year or this year, sure hope it improves.

I think I am right at peak now, maybe just shy. Three or 4 of my early bloomers are done, others getting close. I still had quite a few that have not bloomed yet, but all but my really late ones should be opening soon.

Maryl, I would love to know what that one is, but so many with that look. It is a nice height to me, about 32", 6" blooms, mid to mid late blooming. I was not sure last year when a couple of people suggested HOB, but some of the blooms looked spot on, and it was going through that stage when I posted my photos.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts on my noid. Such a heavy bloomer, I wish I knew what it is. This year the blooms do not have a good clear, crisp look. The flowers do vary some, some with this darker, lavender color to a light pink. Some do not have the halo, so not very consistent, but still pretty.

Wow, love the garden shot! Looks heavenly. I'm sorry to hear that about your new Heartbeat Of Heaven, shoot! Too bad you will have to wait to see what you think on the comparison to your NOID.

Nice shots of some really nice blooms. Hard to pick a favourite . I wonder could your noid be Spiritual Corridor by Curt Hanson ? I know the stats are off from what you are saying your plant has but it sure looks a lot like SC

Love the garden shot! My favorite flower is Party Pinafore along with the noid. I agree with signet, it looks like Spiritual Corridor.

I have a few Iris for the time when not much else is blooming. But they are so disappointing--such a short bloom time. They are not the most reliable bloomers either. I don't want to put a lot of work for just a couple weeks of blooming.

I saw Spiritual Corridor in person a few days ago, and that thought crossed my mind. Glad to confirm. Mine is a bit taller, hers had been blooming about a week she said. I can check if i can get back before hers stops blooming a nd take a flower with me to compare side be side. Still, pretty close.

Lsura, my poor real Heartbeat of Heaven got chewed up by bugs early on the season. I lost buds on several flowers because of that. Later blooming plants were not affected, but I guess because this one was new.

Brad, iris don't last nearly as long, but they get a lot more attention than my daylilies. Probably because every one is wanting spring.

Green Rainbow and Christmas Tidings are looking good. Didn't realize Party Pinafore had such a large eye. Beautiful garden shot.
