Same issue as last year with Marie Pavie
Comments (17)Thank you all very much. Patricia, I'm happy to hear she grows out of it for you. I will do as you say and give her a boost. It's been in the mid to upper 80s here and about 60 or just under at night with NO rain - and none to speak of expected until June. It's reasonable that she's a little weaker after her bloom. She's had plenty of watering. It's interesting how I'm seeing that generally that seems to be the case with the roses I have. They're either getting ready to grow or just bloomed, cycling through. To my mind, BS looked at that way doesn't seem as bad. It's a by-product of growth - at least with the Teas, Chinas & Noisettes and, I guess, some other heat loving roses. Looking at it that way prevents me from panicking and saves the lives of many roses who don't know any better. Thanks again. Sherry...See MoreMarie Pavie?
Comments (26)I have Marie Pavie in Western Europe, morning shade, but under open sky, and it is really a nice plant. It stays small and does not produce the enormous blooms of some of the Austin roses, for example, but unlike many of those, for me it has been a really great continuous bloomer, with lots of small flowers appearing pretty much every day, and this went on until until we had some big freezes in December, even though in December there is very little sun in the back, so it's good for a shadier spot. And now in March, it is one of the first to have buds again, and many of them... Despite the fact that it has been cool, humid and not that sunny. I do not notice much scent but it is really quite lovely and tough. It is not tall but mine likes to spread horizontally. A good plant if you want lots of blooms and are sick of fussier trendier varieties that are a bit more stingy or temperamental. You can actually put it in front of the border, mine is front of a taller rose, for example, so it can definitely have its place about anywhere....See MoreI have her labeled as Marie Daly, but I think it is Marie Pavie
Comments (4)I don't know which mine is, and I call her 'Marie' ;) I'm glad yours made it! Mine has been treated so badly, but I did transplant her this spring so I don't forget about the poor thing anymore. She's tough! Mine got hidden in Bermuda grass in a very small garden area I didn't expand after I put her in. Oops. Now she's in a real bed and much happier, lol....See MoreMarie Pavie and Reine des Violettes in pots
Comments (9)I grow Marie Pavie in a large pot, too. I think this is my third year with her & mine has gotten pretty big for her pot. I've never done any pruning to her, but think I will need to cut her back some this spring. Unfortunately, mine only gets a few hours of sun once the trees leaf out...so I get wonderful wafting fragrance coming from lots and lots of blooms in the spring & fall. She repeats okay in between for being in so much shade, but usually not heavily enough to enjoy the wafting fragrance...have to smell her blooms up close then. I have Reine des Violettes planted in the ground, and after two years here, it is tall, but rather lanky (I have a support behind it, but the trellis is only about 4 ft tall, so doesn't help much). I do think it has a good fragrance & love the color and bloom form. Mine repeats fairly often, but only heavily in the spring & fall...and the summer blooms don't last too long in our heat. So far, its disease resistance has been poor here...foliage looks terrible more often than good and sometimes it completely defoliates. I don't plan to remove it, but if it were to die, I'm not sure that I would replace it due to the fungal issues. Here's my Marie Pavie in her pot last year (pic is from May 2014)...I don't have a full bush shot from this year, but she's grown a lot since then...about twice as tall now, but really not much wider:...See Morepippacovalent

Here's one of just Marie because I'm already enamored with her tiny little blooms.
