Sharing some of my rose photos as a thank you to you all for sharing yours! I love seeing everyone's gardens and learning from all the advice!
Queen Nefertiti is my favorite this summer. In our mid-80s daytime temperatures the blooms were lasting for about a week.

Comments (27)Oh, you lovely ladies, if you could see my garden now you'd be horrified, it's all sticks with old leaves attached, and new ones coming through, and tiny rose bushes with wire fences around them. However, I hope that will all change in another month or two, when I should have blooming roses in my garden. I hadn't looked at these wedding photos in quite some time, and Cecil and I had such a sweet time remembering that day while looking at these pictures. How fortunate I am to have spent all these wonderful years since then in this wonderful place with that amazing man....See MorePictures from my garden (long)
Comments (6)Nice photos John! It sounds like you are happy with All the Rage. I love all the color changes each bloom goes through, and have you noticed how the blooms close up a little in the evening? I agree that not many of the Easy Elegance roses are very interesting but for those looking for something easy care to throw into the perennial bed they are just perfect. Have you looked at Macy's Pride? I really like that one. Very light creamy yellow to near white, sometimes the slightest blushing of pink at the edges and a light fragrance. It's breeding includes Graham Thomas and Carefree Beauty! I've posted a few of my pix on HMF. I'm sure you can't resist a quick peak to see for yourself.... Those lilies are a thing of beauty!...See MorePictures of my rose roots! Transplanting my roses.
Comments (8)Marion, I do the following to root my roses: I like to take the cutting from a branch that has had a bloom that has just finished blooming. I cut it so that I will have 2 sections of leaves, then I cut the spent bloom off the top. I put the cutting immediately into water while I get more cuttings, prepare the soil, etc. I like to use few drops of a product called "Super Thrive" in the water I soak it in, and in the water for the dirt. I use miracle grow potting soil in a small container. I get it wet, but not so much that it will be sitting in a puddle. I make a hole in the dirt with a pencil. I take the rose out of the water, and make a few shallow cuts at the base, then I dip it in Schultz TakeRoot powdered rooting hormone, and stick it in the hole in the dirt. I put the little pot of dirt and rose into a zip lock bag (I like the 2 gallon ones) then I zip it most of the way up, and blow air into it to create a mini greenhouse. I put it in a window that does not get direct sun. In my case, a north facing window. I don't touch it for at least 2 weeks, then I lightly pull on the stem to see if it has rooted. If the stem turns black, it is dead. If it grows mold, it needs to be cleaned off immediately or thrown away so that it doesn't effect the other cuttings. If you are successful, in 2-4 weeks new leafs will start to grow. If you used clear cups for the dirt, you will start to see white roots in the soil. I adapted my method from this video I watched when I first started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiL83eUKWY8...See Moresome of my roses from my garden (lots)
Comments (19)I am located in the Kansas City, MO area, not exactly California. I have grown Kordes' Brilliant in the Pacific Northwest and here in the midwest. It gets about 4 - 5 feet tall, has reasonably good disease resistance, but does benefit from a regular spray program. It is one of my first to flower and last to quit. Its growth habit is straight up, almost cylindrical, but spreading a bit. Its flowering habit is what you would expect as a grandiflora which would be a good class for this rose, but that class is not used in Europe. It blooms singly and in trusses as shown. The color in the photograph is quite close to real and is quite stable from beginning to end and through cool and heat. It does not have much of a problem with our winters here either with the multiple freeze-thaw cycles. It is fairly sturdy. It is one of the few that I have more than one of in the garden. It is available from Hortico and Vintage Gardens. I would put it as one of my better oranges....See Morejoeywyomingzone4

4 years agoI am not usually a fan of bright orange roses but my husband found this Mandarin Sunblaze on sale at Lowe's and brought it home for me to brighten a dreadful bout of morning sickness, so it has sentimental value, and in its stock tank it is doing a great job of perking up the patio. I do love that it stays constantly blooming until after the first snow falls, and the foliage is always an amazing glossy bright green.
