Which Rose(s) are you Coveting?
Comments (23)Canary Bird, both the yellow sweetbriar and the hybrid xanthina. The sweetbrier doesn't appear to have made it to the USA yet. The hybrid xanthina is very difficult to find here. Rotes Phänomen, the purple/red rugosa, it is purple/red everywhere, including the stamens and inside the canes. R. foetida--the single form, I have the double 'Persiana' and love it. Nothing in rosedom more yellow! Schoener's Nutkana, which is a cross between the California native species R. nutkana and the hybrid perpetual Paul Neyron. SN was bred in California. Large plant and flowers (single medium to dark pink), repeat blooming in my area (botanic garden), shade tolerant, few thorns, lots of hips. And rust resistant unlike its parent Paul Neyron. R. hemisphaerica, the sulphur rose. Packed with petals. Very hard to get! Rosa cannabifolia, the hemp-leaved rose. A beautiful, and primitive, rare alba. Flowers look similar to R. fortuniana. White double flowers. Schön Ingeborg, an absolutely gorgeous light pink hybrid perpetual that Cliff Orent imported. Now to be found sporadically at Palatine. Very double. Suzanne, a double light pink spinisissima with the beautiful small foliage of that species. Gets big and bushy. Looks graceful and primitive. Missed getting it from Pickering (they sold out) a few years ago, then they dropped it from their catalog. Was on the waiting list at High Country Roses but their mother plant died. R. beggeriana, its big and bushy, with single white flowers, and reblooms. Produces plentiful black/purple hips which are good for wildlife. From hot, dry areas of the world. Lemon Light, a yellow seedling of the enormous tree-eating Kiftsgate but not quite as large. Used to be in the catalogs of Heirloom (and not seen anywhere else). Hope they offer it again. R. glutinosa, the pine-scented rose, a pink single. I like roses with either unusual scents in the foliage or flowers. Forestfarm grows it, but is out-of-stock. I've asked them to propagate it, so maybe 2014! Buttercup, a small yellow Austin, with flowers that resemble buttercups. I want it, but I don't want the RMV that would be inevitable should I purchase direct from Austin. Not readily available elsewhere, especially from any that virus index. R. horrida, it is, as its name implies, a horrible little thing! Loaded with thorns, the beasty suckers like mad, and thus appeals to me. White single flowers, sets copious hips. Good for wildlife food and safe haven. From the Caucasus. Paul Délépine, a stunning small polyantha I saw at Eurodesert. It is a sort of purpley pink. Very floriferous. Yellow Blush, a light yellow alba. Very double. I'll probably have to wait a good long time before this one is available.... Domine Sampson, a short light pinky lilac marbled hybrid spinossima.

Comments (40)Kimberly, I'm happy to report we've added a Denver's Dream to our garden! Thank you for researching it. If you hadn't wanted pictures I would have never noticed it. But it captivated me on my trip in May and I have been looking at it ever since whenever I am at High Country Roses. It is always in bloom! So I just got one yesterday. A hand in the picture for scale. Matt picked a flower to show me the reddish underside and I left it sitting in the base of the pot all day in 100 degree heat. In the evening I took it inside (all flattened and dehydrated), cut off the remaining stem and put it in a bowl of plain water. It perked up by morning and is still gorgeous. Did you ever end up getting any from that research batch? Don't feel bad if you didn't. I research some all the time and then decide against them. Occasionally some will stick with me time after time. Denver's Dream was one of those. I also added Calico Gal (finally) after thinking about it for a year....See MoreHas anyone been in contact with HCRs recently?
Comments (29)Sam, I almost missed it myself. On a normal year I wouldn't have ordered in advance, I would have waited until I went to see the flower. But because of Covid I placed the order on-line, and then almost the next day it was sold out. I think being zone 4, and a new offering, it was snapped up. I bought Easy on the Eyes after seeing your picture. The one I got was great! Roots coming out the bottom of the pot and has handled the transition to full sun fabulously. Looks to be a great plant....See MoreDuc de Fitzjames?
Comments (11)This took some hunting, but I found the name I was looking for. In the Vintage Gardens catalog they list two distinct "Duc de Fitzjames", acknowledging that they don't know which is correct. One they sourced from Pickering. Some years ago, I believe it was, DdF came up in a discussion here, and the possibility that one of the versions in circulation might actually be 'Mme. Lauriol de Barny', a rose grown by an English poster and a favorite of hers. My DdF, from the old nursery La Campanella, a good source, sounded very much like MLdB, a rose I've never grown. (There's a lot of undergrowth in the garden of old roses, isn't there.) Anyway, my 'Duc de Fitzjames', which may, or may not, be 'Mme. Lauriol de Barny'--is a medium pink, once-flowering, somewhat lanky and thorny rose. It's obviously hybrid, as its tendency to blackspot once flowering has passed reveals. On the other hand, it's a really notably tough rose, which is a quality I know how to value, and this, plus its general good cheer and good flowering makes it well worth growing. I suspect that Paul Barden's and my 'Duc de Fitzjames' are two different varieties....See MoreKelly Tregaskis Collova
