I am impressed with Tuff Stuff
Comments (35)The Tuff Stuff I planted a year or two ago is also doing poorly in the flowering department - not worth taking a picture of the few florets that have some colour! But my Tiny Tuff Stuff planted 5 or 6 years ago that has not done anything much since, is finally making a show! Mind you, it's so small that a show doesn't amount to much :-) Maybe the big Tuff Stuff needs a few years too to mature enough to flower decently....? Pictures of Tiny Tuff Stuff from yesterday afternoon: From just inside the front arbour, showing Tiny Tuff Stuff's companions: The poor little thing tends to get swallowed by its more vigorous neighbours! Hopefully the full-sized Tuff Stuff will eventually perform as expected!...See MorePoseidon & Plum Perfect Roses
Comments (47)I gave that one to my mom, but I've seen it a couple times this year. I really like the color. It was perfectly healthy this year and we've had a ton of rain this year near Cincinnati. I think I just heard that it was the wettest July on record. I know it's difficult to draw conclusions on a 1st year plant (especially one growing in someone else's yard), but I like what I see so far. From what I've read, the hot and humid isn't a problem for Plum Perfect. However, there was some uncertainty on winter hardiness due to it being a new introduction though.

Comments (12)I think 'Plum Perfect' is the prettiest purple of the purple roses I have. I ordered from Chamblees and got three in the pot and 2 'Lavender Veranda's in a pot and also 2 'Poseidon's in one pot. So I have more purple roses than I know what to do with as I also got 'Love Song' and 'Magenta'. Here are some pictures of Plum Perfect, I now have two this size as I gave one to a neighbor out of Chamblee's gallon. I have also put photos of Love Song and Lavender Veranda for comparison. It is hard to get the richness of Plum Perfect's real plum color. Plum Perfect: Lavender Veranda: Love Song: Another rose that has purple tones that is just gorgeous, blooms in flushes spread apart but last for a long time is 'Soeur Emmanuelle'. It is very upright like as a Hybrid Tea:...See MoreDoes anyone have plum perfect and violets pride?
Comments (10)Get both if you have room. They are diff colors for sure. My PP bloomed much better but I've had it a little longer than VP. If I had to pick one I'd go with PP bc I don't have any other roses that color and they last forever on the bush and in a vase. Love love love it. I'm sure I will love VP (don't remember it having any pink in it but didn't bloom much) but this girl was blown away with PP. I've deleted so many of my pics but will see if I have any still. Go on now and order it. Go go go. NOW!!! NOW!!! NOW!!! Edit : Ok I think this is a pic of PP. It's hard for me to be confident of a pic from last year. Do you have Poseidon? I came across the bouquet of Poseidon looking for PP...See More
