Climbing Pinkie vs. Renae
Comments (6)I have not grown Renae but Pinkie is very lax and amenable to training, as you well know. I think it would do very well in the situation you want if the wall is not too high - 4 feet or less? BTW, I saw your duplicate, but mirrored in the title, posts and my initial thought was David Letterman with the 'Uma - Oprah, Oprah - Uma' thing and then Jim Carrey doing Ace Ventura Pet Detective with 'Finkle and Einhorn, Einhorn and Finkle' bit. So maybe that's the joke??? Pinkie and Renae, Renae and Pinkie . . . Sorry, I thought it was funny too!...See MoreTwo different Climbing Pinkies, Brass Band, and more
Comments (20)Aw, thanks, you guys. The weather here has really been cooperative. This has convinced me to get more roses, which means a five-year heat spell and drought is in order. Pippi, the peachy-apricot flowers are nasturtiums, either Apricot Trifle or Creamsicle. The pinkish flowers in the second to the last photo are Martha Washington pelargoniums in a barrel. Jenn, the chartreuse plant behind Cajun Rhythm is Golden Feverfew. Easy to grow from seed. I am not sure how tall it gets, but it's scaring me already. It gets little white daisy flowers. I am so pleased with the Showbiz bed- it's the first time I ever had an idea that worked out right, where the plants bloomed together and were the right height. And I'm so glad they didn't die when the irrigation system broke last year and I didn't notice for two months! Renee...See MoreHow hardy is Renae Climbing rose or Annie Laurie McDowell?
Comments (29)Nahema is NOT hardy in my zone 5 .. died after 2 winters as own-root from Roses Unlimited. I successfully rooted Nahema, but it died recently in my unheated garage with temp. at upper 20's. Annie L. McDowell survives 2 winters for me since I planted it right below the rain spout so it gets constant moisture. Winter here is -30 below zero with wind-chill factor, and Annie dies to the crown every year. For its 3rd winter, this year, I plan on watering Annie during the winter in case we don't get any snow. Zero winter-protection except for a thin layer of leaves, it's on a steep hill so I can't pile up winter-protection. I planted Annie in a deep hole with MG-potting soil and topped with dense clay to seal in the moisture. Let's see if Annie survives its 3rd winter....See MoreClimbing Pinkie in Colder Zones
Comments (5)My area tends to be rather ... dynamic for temperature ranges. This last winter was especially cold and harsh. That said, we also had more snow cover than usual too. My Climbing Pinkie is still young and last winter was its first in my garden. It had some die back, but still had several feet worth of cane for the slightly older growth. I expect for it to do fine in my zone after my previous research and opinion gleaning from these forums, and now with my albeit little experience indicating similar. Young plant, with spikes to -10 degrees, with some snow cover to help = still going strong and put out several 12' canes this year though it didn't bloom overly well and took a bit to take off this spring (but everything took a long time this spring)....See More- 4 years ago
