Ugh, David Austin USA virused stock
Comments (108)Found this post in another thread, maybe the strain I dealt with was different from Diane's: henry_kuska 6 years ago There is no such thing as a virus named RMV. RMV is the group name for a number of viruses that infect roses. Even for a single virus in that group there are different strains that have different virilities. Also, the rose imune system has been shown to be more efective at fighting PNRSV (usually considered the most common rose virus in the U.S.) at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. Thus, someone in a warmer climate may feel that a certain virus infection is not a big deal, but that experience probably will not apply to the same variety of rose with the same virus (and same strain) infection grown in a cooler climate. Also, since we are normally dealing with hybrids, the immune system can vary from rose variety to rose variety. When you add that it may be a different virus, a simultaneous infection with two or more types of virus, and/or an infection with a different strain of an individual virus; you see that it is risky to make general statements about what an untested rose virus infection will mean to someone else....See MoreHelp!!! 2018 David Austin Catalog Supplemental List
Comments (9)I think if you look through the website at the varieties that are not Highly Recommended (no star), those are the supplemental varieties. Mary Magdalene has been on the supplemental list for years with good cause, as they readily point out it has poor disease resistance. I've kept it because the blooms are among my very favorites and I was willing to spray, but I'm reconsidering that lately. But gosh is she gorgeous, so maybe she's a good choice for a drier climate than mine? John Clare is another, arguably one of DA's most prolific bloomers. Sorry no pics, seem I never photograph John because he's a bit on the plain side. Great for a constant splash of bright color. Completely defoliates here without spray but keeps on blooming. Crocus Rose seems to be on the hit list. I finally eliminated mine last year. It felt wrong to let go of such an incredibly hardy rose but even with spray it suffered from BS. Perhaps a good rose for a cold dry place. Here it is looking fine in June, but once the temps rise the leaves go black for the rest of the summer. Funny they tended not to drop, but hung onto the plant and looked ugly. Sophy's Rose, I don't understand the problem; my version of BS doesn't seem to trouble it much, so maybe it suffers from other maladies. DA states its disease resistance as only "Good" (which means poor, and "Average" means terrible, don't even thing about "Poor"). Personally I wonder if it's not a popular color for English roses. They try to promote it as a red, but it's more of a magenta and fades considerably. To each his own, it's a stellar bloomer and heathy enough here. Tidy growth habit, doesn't get too large. I can't find any pics of Ambridge. I cherished Ambridge for the fragrance and the delicate blooms. Mine was own root, suffered badly every winter and didn't rebound. I eventually gave it up after a summer where it didn't reach a foot high. Might do better grafted. Seem to recall BS was a problem....See MoreDavid Austin 2019 UK new introductions
Comments (48)Marlorena, anyone on this thread could you please share how Eustacia has done for you. I know we are not getting her in 2020 =(, but I can't wait to have her. I will def try Emily and Mill on the Floss, but keep thinking about Eustacia. Also I read on a Uk rose review site that The Mill on the Floss gets black spot, any comments on this? After seeing how amazingly healthy Olivia Austin is, I had great expectation for any new releases....See More2022 US David Austin Handbook
Comments (114)I finally got mine, and I think I got the one with the weird paper, it feels just like one of those semi-glossy supermarket deal ads you get in the mail. Don't like that at all :/ Anyway, the magazine/booklet is boring to me. Nothing striking, no interesting text. Also, how did this photo get approved for the booklet? It's out of focus and the lighting/color is so weird... maybe it just got messed up in printing?...See MorenanadollZ7 SWIdaho
