RSVP Rose Detectives - What Kind Of Rose Is This?
Comments (10)I came across your questions while examining my stats on my blog site. I appreciate whoever it was who visited being curious enough to explore my little realm of pain. The 6th picture down is definitely not the same as the first picture, although the species could - I suppose - be the same. But these were in different locations, so I would suggest different species. It is also one of the reasons I am not 'all that' at Rose names. I respect how many varieties there are far too much. I have enough on my plate at the best of times,....roses I love to look at, but that's as far as it goes. ;-) Typically, at that Rose Garden, they clump a few varieties of each together, making what ends up being a more effective and, probably healthier showing in general. I know they sure look good, lol. Here is a link that might be useful: Steve Snedeker's Landscaping and Gardening Blog...See MoreClimbing, spreading, purple roses?
Comments (34)I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last update! The two surviving bushes are doing great. The bigger one, the one that was already spreading like crazy last year, is still spreading like crazy this year. The other one is more subdued, but it's doing quite well, too, and they're both blooming like crazy. There is one thing, though, that's troubled me from the first time they bloomed: their color is more on the dark pink side than purple. Oh, don't get me wrong, they're very pretty, and they're darker this year than they were last year, but they're still not PURPLE and white, they're dark pink and white. Is there perhaps something they're missing in terms of nutrients? I'm giving them Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed Continuous Release Rose and Bloom Plant Food...but I had forgotten to do it for, well, a few months, until today. :)...See MoreHow to spread RRD inside a rose bed quickly
Comments (5)Henry, The cutting off of a suspect cane only works if you catch the problem when it's on a single cane. I think a friend in Asheville may have done this for a Knock Out bush in his neighbor's KO bed this past fall. As of this spring, the bush remained healthy. (This is one of the members of Asheville Blue Ridge Rose Society who have been trying the two strikes and you're out for quite a while now at my urging.) Something that had bothered me for the past two years was the spread of RRD within beds of KO. Some beds stayed healthy; others were almost infected randomly, but wind dispersal ISN'T random. Then I saw a yard crew working (blowing) near one of the beds I've been following and (not using a blower at home for anything) I surged into this century and thought about what damage those breezes could do....See MoreSan Jose Heritage Rose Garden visit; and, What rose is this?
Comments (8)Jill, thank you so much for your reply. That "Keith's B-N" is one beautiful little rose. I didn't find it on HMF--will it appear there? I assume it is not available at all (yet)? I can only imagine what it must feel like to discover an unknown old rose--and such a lovely, fragrant one, wow. I was very taken with General Schablikine, so #3 is probably him. I wasn't really intending to take photos, and I normally would have been more careful about snapping pix of the IDs, but I was so overwhelmed by the roses, also the heat!, and I just kept drifting around, often in circles, just drawn to the next beauty that caught my eye. There were some roses that I ended up visiting numerous times, zigzagging around the garden. I look forward to another visit and can't wait to see the spring bloom next year.
