Show off your Red Roses, Part I
Comments (42)I only have two red roses- Munstead Wood, which I got bare root last summer and is barely hanging in there, and Showbiz. I find myself attracted most to the red and white roses. I love Cherry Parfait- I have Double Delight, but Cherry looks redder. I also love all of those red/white reverse roses- Snowfire set my heart on fire! Fire and Ice is another one, and Mariposa Gem is perhaps my favorite of them. Beth's black-reds are unbelievable. I would never even try one of those here with our heat, but I swoon when I look at them. I may replace the Showbiz I have with Lavaglut, since Showbiz don't like the heat and lasts such a short time. I am also looking at Don Juan- almost bought it today. Here's Showbiz: Renee...See MoreWhat are your "blackest" red roses?
Comments (25)The same rose is sold under two names -- 'Nigrette' and 'Louis XIV'. I got mine from Rogue valley Roses. You'll find other nurseries carrying 'Louis XIV'. Search both names on HelpMeFind and you'll see where to find them. :-) ~Christopher...See MoreNeed your help: choosing Red and Other Roses for Spring 2018
Comments (24)Palm trees? What kind of palm trees. Hopefully, not Royal Palm trees. They are terrible. They have a huge root system that mats at the ground level they will over take your roses if you just dig a whole and put the roses in the whole. I have ended up digging huge 4 foot deep trenches and lining it so the stupid royals (in my opinion tall weeds). That being said, there are things you can do to still have nice roses even if the palms are around, it might just be a little more work, but well worth it.... One of my best pinks, is Pink Peace. Though mine is on Dr. Huey and should probably start to decline as it is about 5 years old. I would love to find it on the fort. rootstock because otherwise it is really healthy, smells great and puts out lots and lots of blooms. Did I say it smells great? I have two reds that I love. One is Olympiad. Mine is an own root and I have it in a pot because it is own root. It is doing quite well, and actually put out two bloom right after hurricane Irma. It was saying everything is going to be alright. The other red one I have has more scent than Olympiad but still not a lot, but I got it because of the size of the blooms. That one is Legends. The flowers can be 7 to 8 inches. Makes a great statement for vases. I just purchased Veterans Honor, don't know how it does. The other reds I have is Chyrsler Imperial smells great, but BS prone. Oklahoma smells ok, but also BS magnet. I have JFK, but it always looks slightly yellow, so not too fond of it. I have Sugar Moon on a friends recommendation, however, she since took hers out because she had problems with disease. Me, on the other hand loved it so much bought a 2nd one. We both live in South Florida. It just goes to show that even in the same zones the micro climates can have an effect on your garden.Though I hear that Pope John Paul does well in Florida and it is not supposed to have a yellow tinge. Fragrant Cloud is my one of my husbands favorites. (his other is Double Delight) so I always try to have one each in the garden. FC does not do well for me UNLESS it is on Fort root stock. The Dr. Huey ones never seem to make it through the summer. I have a tiny little Intrigue that I got on Dr. Huey before I knew any better. It keeps growing back wards, but I have had it for 6 or 7 years so it is probably subcomming to nematodes. I did try to get one on fort. but can't seem to find it. So I broke down and bought it again at Costco on Dr. Huey and decided to keep it in a pot, only to find out it was mislabled..... not sure what it is, but certainly not Intrigue. If you like coral colored roses, I have Regatta that does quite well. Smells nice but not like Intrigue or Pink Peace. If you like floribundas I would recommend Outta the Blue. That one was a purchased mistake for me. I got the name confused with something else, but it was the BEST mistake. He puts out lots and lots of great smelling roses....See Moreplease list your favorite red roses!!
Comments (27)Thank you rosecanadian and Diane! They always seem to have the red mini at Grocery Outlet. I like it a lot, I think I have about ten of them by now : ). Every once in awhile their mini roses go on sale for 2 or 3 bucks each, and it is always the one to catch my eye. They grow pretty large for a mini roses; I think they are either a foot and a half or two feet tall. I love "Crimson Glory." I think it has the best smell out of all the roses I've ever smelled. "Paul's Scarlet Climber" is a great climbing rose, and a very profuse bloomer. It has one glorious bloom in the spring and scattered bloom throughout the rest of the growing season, and a smaller bloom again in fall. The picture I posted of it is from last year, but unfortunately this year it has slowly begun to die from some kind of gall growing at the crown and along the canes. My dad took some cuttings a couple years ago and we planted another one on the other side of the arbor, and another one on a different arbor. I hope they grow to cover the arbors like the original, I think we may have planted them too close to the structures. Have a nice weekend everyone, damask_rose : )...See Moresara_ann-z6bok

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoI've always loved red, magenta and purple roses!
Here's a few seedlings, very hardy and laughing off any bitter cold conditions the Canadian prairies can throw at them. This semi double is quite different, there's a bit of purple in the center of the petals, flowers are fragrant and it has fantastic looking healthy foliage.
This one is a purpleish red, blooms can burn though.
A dwarf compact floribunda type that always catches my eye!
I don't know, I might have lost this beauty after moving it :(
I LOVE everyone's photos !!sara_ann-z6bok

5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago! Wow! Love that improved Blaze! Well, as usual I'm late to the party but let's see what I can add. Here's Milano which is still very small but quite pretty color.
Next is Florentina. I only got one flush this year but have high hopes for it this spring. If not I have to move it to a better position.
The best fragrance ever! Climbing Crimson Glory.
I wish I could capture the rich color of dark desire. It's a gangly Bush for me but I do love the flowers, the fragrance and its constant bloom.
The lovely Tess.

the only pictures I have a red Cascade again. It's quite small when can really see its color next to the Deep pink of Zaid.
red drift. It's become really big now but this is the only picture I have. Always in bloom although not as much as pink drift. I'll continue in a moment.

5 years agoMunstead wood looking very red and luscious.
I bought this as Robin Hood but I'm not sure about it now. Has very long arms and black spots a lot. Or maybe that's the deer that's eating it! LOL!
the beautiful Barcelona. I wish I had better pictures but she died. :-(
Darcey Bussell. I really like this Rose even if it does black spot a lot oh, It's Always In Bloom and give us a bit of color in this part of the garden

5 years agoThe total wow of Lady in Red. It really stands out but I think it will be hard for me to place in my garden as a result. All eyes are on the Lady in Red. one can see how she literally glows!
lastly, Falstaff. I'm hoping for good things from this Rose this year. It looks really great next to first crush and Summer Romance. Just after planting her in the ground.
She thanked me for that by quickly blooming and sending up tons of basals and tall shoots.

5 years agoFalstaff mislabeled as Darcey. Got three of them last September. Tiny own root sticks in their 2-gallon pots. It was end of the season but one of them tried very hard and gave me one perfect beautiful bloom - more than enough for me to be excited about the upcoming growth/blossom!

5 years agoAnother red I have is scarlet carpet. I had five of them for a few years and one of them “colonized” with a baby! Didn’t care for their long octopus arms, finally dug them out to toss but then they kept blooming in the trash cart. Felt bad, took all six back out and planted them near the river bank under two Miss Sandra crapemyrtles :) It’s out of my main garden but will do their contribution at where they are now. Just did the severe pruning yesterday and looking forward to their second life!
