Did anybody order from Vintage's latest crop?
Comments (4)I just got a letter from them that my custom roots are going to be ready soon, so I refrained from ordering more. Right now I've got 20 in pots in my rose nursery, and with 6 more on the way I think I need to stop. At least until I get some of my potted roses planted their permanent spots, and hopefully an irrigation system so I don't have to spend so much time hand watering... They're not sure how many will be ready for shipment in Oct, but if they are all ready this is what I will be receiving: White Pearl in Red Dragon's Mouth Mme. Berkeley Niles Cochet Boule de Neige Mrs. Woods' Lavender Pink Paul Neyron I can't wait!...See MoreAny hardy climbers from Palatine?
Comments (15)All of the roses mentioned will suffer some winter dieback in your growing area and many will require severe pruning. New Dawn does well for me but still requires tip pruning. illinijt's problem with it is the graft died and it reverted to the root stock, not the rose's fault. Mine is a four year old own root. It's recycled four time this summer and has had some blooms on it all the time. I keep it cut back to a reasonable size by choice but it still requires some pruning each spring to remove a little dieback. E-mail me for info about Quadra. I have a number of rooted cuttings. Mine is five years old and has bloomed well for the last two. Before that it bloomed only in the spring followed by a few sporadic blooms throughout the summer. What's your problem with doing a little tip pruning. You'll have to move to a warmer growing zone to avoid doing any of it. I really like Dublin Bay but it dies back to a couple of feet. Quadra likes to bloom in large clusters. Dublin Bay will too but often blooms singley. To me the blooms stand out better than Quadra. All my climbers are listed as hardy, but hardy may mean it survives, not necessarily the entire bush stays viable. That's just a problem with climbers in cold winter zones like ours. I like Viking Queen, Clair Matin, Compassion, Berlin, Fourth of July, and Autumn Sunset but they'ed not qualify under your criteria of green to the tips. They all will have to be pruned back to about two feet depending on the severity of the winter....See MoreRoses Unlimited Rose Order
Comments (18)Moses, I cannot thank you enough for your excellent advice! Thank you for knowledge about Quietness, and proper pruning. I have a feeling I will be ordering another one of her next year, if she is productive as she seems! I am just struggling with trying to figure out where all of these will go! The spot I do have in mind for Quietness will actually be in my front bed, by our large decorative lamp post, which I think will be quite pretty. I am placing my order for Lady Ashe along with Heirloom from Northland Rosarium today, and have a lovely spot of 6ft-high fence reserved for her. That is an excellent idea regarding the French drain. We are lucky to have excellent neighbors as well, so I will see if they have any ideas, as they have mentioned drainage previously. I began the discussion of additional French drains to DH, and he agreed to "look into it." I suppose that if it proves to be too expensive, I could perhaps convert that bed into my cutting garden instead, since it will be filled with a lot of annuals or wetness-tolerant perennials. Since the annuals don't form deep roots, a shorter raised bed might still work, and I could just flip-flop bed placement. So many decisions! Spring is really approaching quite rapidly, for those of us who are doing a lot of garden remodeling, when you think about it!...See MoreAnybody have any before and after photos of their rose garden?
Comments (41)Hi Kit, The labels were an experiment gone right. I bought the slate labels and stakes from Amazon and then the names are vinyl decals from Etsy. They were $1 each from a little girl in Texas. I think the slate plates and stakes were about $3.50 each. The vinyl labels are rub on and they have lasted through two winters and the hot summers with no degradation so I am very impressed with them. My favorites are: Winnipeg Parks is a hot deep pink. I love that she needs no trimming in the spring and is naturally a good shape. Great bloomer. First in the spring and is frozen in the fall with loads of blooms. Every rose grower needs a Winnipeg Parks like rose in their life. It sets the standard for what all other roses should be. This is her when no one else was blooming. Iceberg is also a good shape with no real die back from the winter. She blooms alot and the pure white flowers are lovely. Easy on the Eyes is not as good of a natural shape but has not had die back in it's two years so I like it quite a bit. To me the flowers are spectacular. Blooms well enough that she makes the favorites list. Amiga Mia has been cane hardy for me and a good bloomer. I love the smell of her flowers. She wafts and perfumes the whole garden in the spring so I am enamored with her. To me she seems to be a continuous bloomer. I can only remember one time she paused during a super hot summer. Her big pink flowers are usually the ones people comment on when visiting the rose garden. Pretty Lady Rose has great smelling flowers and usually has no or minimal die back. She blooms in flushes. She was the one I wanted all other rose bushes to be like before I got Winnipeg Parks. Her best pictures are yet to come as she just started blooming. Candy Land is a delightful climber. She is the only one that I've had great success with. All of the above are cane hardy for me and don't wilt in the heat. I'm also a fan of Parade Day since I like the striped roses and Calico Gal because of her big flouncy blooms. They were both cane hardy this year but alot of my roses were when they weren't in previous years. Might be that they are getting established or we had an easier year for roses. Parade Day. Just starting her flush. Calico Gal. For the aching back have you tried the spearhead spade? It was recommended here on this forum a few years back and I got two sizes for my husband. He bah humbugged them and said he liked his shovels and would never use them. Now these are the ones he reaches for and we have gotten rid of most other shovels. https://spearheadspade.com/ You can buy them on Amazon also....See MoreBenT (NorCal 9B Sunset 14)
