Some Photos of My Baby..... Augusta Luise, that is
Comments (45)Flowers, I'm not taking credit for her looks, though I do try to keep winter at bay. So I'll pass your compliments on to Augusta this spring--she's sleeping now as you know-ha. Crazy Love is quite pretty if you haven't checked her out. If you really want to torture yourself, search rose Augusta Luise on Google; then look at Google Images (you may have done this); they are incredible. I'm sure that eventually Tantau will get the message and get their tardy bums in gear. They are probably afraid to deal with us, we're so nutty. Probably have been warned about us already--ha.

Comments (129)@noseometer...(7A, SZ10, Albuquerque) From all I've ever heard, Bobby James is a wonderful rose. But it IS a house eater. I wonder if it's so vigorous that it rapidly outgrows a ship-able size? It might be a matter of timing it between, "OK, it has rooted" to "wow, that won't fit in a box", lol. Of course the rose could be pruned, but that's another step in the "shipping and handling" that's not necessary for most other roses. I'm sure the reason it's scarce is NOT that it's hard to propagate. It is a hybrid wichurana, which tend to root very easily. But it could just be that there's not historically been enough demand for it. Nurseries grow the roses they can sell. P.S. For anyone who is reading the whole thread, I DID get my Prairie Peace, and it's going to be spectacular. This last Spring (2022) was its third here, and it had at least 30-40 flowers, and it's becoming a more graceful shrub with time. Worth.Every.Penny. (And it was a LOT of pennies, lol) EDIT: I just checked HMF, and supposedly Roses Unlimited carries Bobby James. I checked, and it's listed on the website. You'd have to call to see if she really has it this year....See MoreCould this rose be Augusta Louise?
Comments (9)sugarandrose... what beautiful pics! Free Spirit is also a Tantau rose which explains the similarity. Beth....I saw your florist rose rooting thread and I think I'm going to give it a try. I just rooted a beautiful dusty pink, large, fragrant carnation and I'm really happy about it! Of course, carnations are much easier than roses :)...See MoreDiane/anyone, would Augusta Louise prefer some PM shade in my garden?
Comments (36)Lisa, I have dug a lot of roses up over the years, and only in one rose could I definitively see that it had gone own root. This was about 5-6 years ago and involved an Evelyn growing on the side of a slope where the deer would not leave her alone. She had been planted by the landscapers when we first moved here. As I started digging, I could see that there were now two Evelyns, both big and shooting out roots sideways and straight down. Maybe some Dr Huey persisted, but it was not evident to me, and the second E was very much on her own roots and separate from the first. The ground had become like cement as it ways does around here, and the roots just wouldn't quit. I had wanted to transplant this "rose", but finally I was forced to excavate a moon crater--or something similar. It was necessary to hack off a lot of roots, too, and no Huey ever tried to come up in this area. I was unhappy to toss the two E's in the garbage, but at that point I didn't care. I might note that this dig was way worse than the 2017 digging up of a giant PAoK, if you can imagine. Diane...See More

I think it stays healthy for most of the time, it might have a little BS at my suburb garden, because I planted so many roses in a suburb lot; the air flow is not prefect; the one at the country garden, I think it has no issues. I will double check that for you and report it back.
Here is a baby plant, planted it in May, bloomed for the 1st time at the end of June/early July, it looked pretty healthy.
