Oh wowo! I actually love that one. The bloom kinda looks like a magenta Munstsead Wood or William Shakespeare 2000 with that quartered look.

That is a really beautiful rose. I love both the form and color

Very beautiful!

Ooh, I like it too!

I think I might need this in my garden. I like the silvery back of the petals and the open blooms look great.

Supposed to be fragrant too!

Dingo, what a luscious rose. I'd need to know more about it to order one, and would definitely want to see more photos of this rose growing in a garden. I don't totally trust J&P's hype since it was acquired by the company that owns Wayside Gardens and Park Seed a number of years ago. These companies seem to be doing better more recently, and I just ordered a bunch of seed from Park. Diane

There is another new one I ordered a month or so back, an apricot climber called Tangerine Flames that looks really pretty. Where did you get information on the "shipday" code? I picked out a few other JP roses I would like to order - wonder if this promo code would be good on those too?

It’s a beautiful rose, very unique.

I found the promo code - ordered Voluptuous, Like No Other, Ultra Violet and Jane Goodall. Like No Other reminds me of Celestine, a Brad Jalbert rose, that I got from Palatine last year. I dont hear much about it, but it is a beautiful thing - liked it so much I ordered another this fall. Be interesting to compare the two.

Ben, I raise Miniature Horses, live on a farm. So yes, have plenty of room for roses, but time is my problem. I have alot in pots and have had built a cute garden cottage with my pot ghetto there and raise many bands to maturity before planting them. This can be problematic as I find it hard to keep my appetite for new ones in check........hence the pot ghetto!

Very pretty. The description certainly checks all of the boxes. I'd be particularly interested if it actually has a round and bushy growth habit, and is disease resistant. How is the quality of J&P plants? I haven't bought any of their product in many years. I assume they're grafted on Dr Huey? I'd be concerned with getting a virused plant as well. I'm eager to hear how this plant performs for those that buy it.

Havent gotten any virused plants [that I know of] from JP. Quality is good and they have grown well. Both Tangerine Flames and Like No Other look really pretty, esp. the apricot climber so am excited to try them. It will be awhile, but I will post later on in the spring as to how they grow and bloom.

alameda did you ever know Poly K....e ? She was a Miniature Horse show judge, judged some classes in England. She kept Buck's books in trade for training back in the day. This was all when you were doing your beautiful big horses. Years ago when she stopped showing and judging Poly's spot was the retirement home for several minis . Her barn was so lovely I wanted to live in it and receive all the great care she gave all her animals.

any idea what the blooms size is on Like no Other

How different is Tangerine Flames from Tangerine Skies? J &P has both.

Austin, yes I knew Poly! What is she up to now? I knew all the Arab people - it was like a huge family. I got away from it after we sold Kaset and Kadet then I went to nursing school, moved and was big into minis. Lost touch with alot of the Arabian people. Alot of people older than me have passed on. Wonderful years, wonderful memories. But time marches on and people get into other things. The shows are not at all what they used to be. I am not interested in showing anymore - the rigors of training and conditioning to win are intense and I am so competitive that I would do that at the expense of everything else, but now my gardening is of the most interest to me.

Tangerine Skies is a gorgeous climber!! The blooms are fabulous. I just ordered another, it came in quart size so still growing. My big one is planted, is very stout and bloomed very well this year. I adore anything apricot so am excited to see what Tangerine Flames does and how it compares to Tangerine Skies. There arent that many apricot climbers so hoping T. Flames is good. I ordered Mme. Jean and Barock from Palatine - both are potted up and making new growth - they look to be a pretty apricot color. Polka is wonderful - I have one growing in one of my beds - blooms look like peach sherbert. I got super lucky when Walmart was selling them this fall for $5! I bought 4! Of course I have no idea where they will go - repotted and residing in the pot ghetto for now.

I also whanted to know the difference between TS and TF and basically they sound the same wxcept it says TF has a yellow.reverse on the petals. The photos I've found make it look like TF has some lighter shades of apricot than TS. Both say they are fragrant. Both say 8ft tall.

The Lowes or HD 's here (cant remember which one now) had scores of TS last spring on trellises. Some were really Quicksilvers mismarked as TS. The few real TS I saw, were beautiful. I need to find a place where I can put another apricot climber and get TS or TF this year.

I wish our WM had Polka. Last year they had tons of Lav Crush but no Polka. I'm keeping my eyes peeled this spring for both.

Sorry rose people please just pass this post on by as I have no idea how to contact someone from the past that shows up on this site. Such a treat just have to respond.

alameda just talked to Poly this morning can't wait to tell her we hooked up via roses. She and I used to discuss our gardens daily. My H was different than her Tball. She could even grow bearded. She is now in Virginia. They moved when her husbands mental health declined.

They move close to her husband's family for emotional support. Hired people just can't do all that you need in those sad situations and P did not want him in a home until absolutely necessary. He passed earlier this year. Poly is great. A strong lady with a good attitude and still smart as a whip. Doesn't garden or do horses due to back issues. Update in case you don't know....Buck sold his barns in Magnolia, Dexter died suddenly of heart years ago (big surprise to all). P and I were both out of the picture by then. Poly had moved on and I had gone to Bataglia finally stopped all horse stuff totally (had 2 kids in college and the $$ didn't stretch that far). Those times were wonderful so many, many precious memories. The horse world is a world unto itself hardly acknowledging the greater universe. I am going to call P right after I finish this and tell her how we linked up. Small world. Hope I don't get kicked off site for off topic. This is my first year to post much and all these people would probably be happy if I got the boot. Me and my long post and strong opinions. I am trying to be polite when I disagree because so many have such good good ideas. After telling people what to do and how to do it in my design world and getting paid to do so, it is hard to zip-it when my opinions differ Ha even though I am often wrong in this gardening domain. Best to you Judith

I contacted J&P on LIke NO Other for flower size and thorns. (have gotten tired of the super thorny guys). Below is the response for what it is worth.

"Thank you so much for contacting us here at Jackson and Perkins! We value our customers' comments and questions very highly and we appreciate hearing from you.

The petals would be 3-4 inches across."

BenT... I ordered Tang Skies and had planned to put it with Lav Crush on a 94" x 21 obelisk from Kinsman. I saw a 2017 post where you mentioned liking this idea also but said LC would not share well. If this will not work then I will consider a small arch but from a design standpoint the obelisk would be better. I already have my Evelyn and Paul Neuron on these obelisk and the 3rd will lead your eye through my beds to the rear gate. Thanks So

Hi Austin,

Yes, I think Lav Crush would need its own obelisk, it is rather thick stemmed and vigorous, and probably can’t share with another rose. Also, since roses don’t bloom uniformly or coordinated, there’d be spots of orange and Lav/purple randomly. Perhaps a clematis , something like Prince Charles or Venosa Violacea with Lav Crush would look really nice where the colors are complimentary rather than a strong contrast, that way even if the bloom wasn’t uniform it’d still look good.

Like no Other has average thorns according to J&P.

I have gotten tired of getting eaten by the heavy thorn-ers.

Thanks Ben I just read a LCrush Sept post with a picture you shared. It looks like LC grows similar to Lady Ashe with those tall cans and bloom pattern. It was the description of her size and fragrance that peaked my interest to purchase now I must search for a location. I have space but running out of sunny spots. Have a new neighbor doing a remodel and house is extending way way way back to almost cover our 180' deep lots. Also the ceilings appear to be 12' down and 10 up Pretty house I'm sure but I fear it will block my remaining sun. Sun is on my Christmas list. :))

Don't suppose LC would be happy with sun half day?

Just went to the J&P website to take another look at this rose and it's sold out :( Oh well. I certainly don't have a spot for another rose anyway.
