Mrs. BR Cant, Etc
Comments (10)Here is a full bush picture: Jeri is right, it is a large rose and does not like to be pruned. I had to prune mine a few weeks ago. What I did is take out the lower branches (which were too low, too heavy and became weighed down with blooms and rain and threatened to break off). I took these canes off at the base or back to the original cane. She is putting on new growth now and looks like she will be higher and fuller instead of low and flat. That is if the county doesn't dig up my front yard :(...See MoreIs this Mrs BR Cant?
Comments (7)My Mrs. BR Cant was huge. This winter, everything above ground died off. But the roots survived and now she is about 3x3 feet of new growth. What I did when it was time to prune, was take out entire canes rather than shorten canes. It can get too many canes and then gets weighed down with too many blooms and you can get broken canes. I would do that every couple of years. I have to move mine too, so it's good that is fairly small. I did take some cuttings, just in case....See MoreMrs. B.R. Cant VS. Knock Out 2013
Comments (21)The 'Duchesse de Brabant" was a first runner up. About comparing personal observations with the results of the report, there is no possible comparison of the results of the referenced trial with results observed in a "good home." At least, that is certainly my impression of the trial. The roses were severely stress tested; the roses were not coddled in ANY way. As I read it: "Plants were provided with minimal amounts of water and fertilizer, no control for diseases and insects, and no grooming or deadheading." I think of it like being planted in a graveyard and subsequently being forgotten and untended for years. Surviving such conditions in Florida is quite a feat....See MoreI think 'Mrs. B.R. Cant wishes to climb...
Comments (1)I have found with Mrs BR Cant that she will throw out those canes. But they soon become weighed down with blooms and laterals and don't really climb as much as stretch out. I suppose if you put a support near her and supported those canes they would stay more upright, but I don't know if they would 'climb'. I have noticed the same with Madame Lambard and Monsieur Tillier. I have them near small cherry trees and they are in the trees. Also, while your Mrs BR Cant is 3 years old. That is still young for a tea. I think that tall cane is what she could grow to in total if left to her own devices. But I have also found that the very long canes can split at the base if they get very heavy....See Morebayarea_girl_z10a_ca
