Is this Austin's The Countryman, or a mislabel?
Comments (3)Good advice by Donna. I don't grow this one either, but on HMF, the pics by Rosenschule Ruf, a German nursery, also look like a match. And so do the leaves on most HMF pics. As to Hortico, I've had a ton of problems with the quality of their plants and delayed and random shipping (as in June (!) to NC where I lived), but I've never received a mislabeled rose from them, fwiw. Feed it well and let it grow and see what it does! Andrea...See MoreMislabeled Rose from HD/Mea, Any ideas?
Comments (4)She could be described at tall and narrow so far, based on how she looked when I bought her and how she is growing. Sort of slender canes. So far this rose has not as many petals as Bewitched has listed on HMF. Good suggestion, pat_bamaZ7. I'll keep it on the list as possible and watch her to see if she grows into herself and produces more petals. And, I'll check her canes to see if they are indeed crooked. I can see from the picture how you could suggest this rose from that photo, for sure. The only pink that Mea has on their web page for dormant roses are pink peace and Queen Elizabeth. I don't think it is either of those, though. Any other suggestions? :)...See MoreAny idea of which rose this might be?
Comments (9)Thanks so much for your suggestions everyone. Jeri, I have not yet rooted cuttings, but I think it is time for me to try it out! Thanks for the link. I went to the Antique Rose Farm in Snohomish today, and the Heritage Roses NW Society folks (who had a display there this weekend) looked at the pictures and also suggested Paul Ricault. Whatever it is, I am so curious about it that I think I need to try and propagate it!...See MoreWhat (mislabeled) Austin is this?
Comments (9)I'm not sure. It could still be Tamora. But just to add some insight from my experiences; I've had Austin blooms that don't look like they should on brand new plants. They usually need a few flushes or more than a season to settle in and really bloom. Teasing georgia was very peachy for the first few flushes & had half of the petals. By the end of it's first season it looked closer to the way it should. I thought it was a mislabeled rose. This has happened on a few of mine. The other thing to consider is the weather. We have had roller coaster temps. It went from freezing, to full on heatwave within 2 weeks. Not sure how your weather has been, but that can really cause blooms to grow differently....See MoreHalloBlondie (zone5a) Ontario, Canada
