Any updates on Madame Anisette?
Comments (388)Well, because of Cori Ann's photos, and Chris's comments re ADR, I hung in there with MA since 2017! It's now going into 2022 (in 3 days), and my MA will be coming out when I prune. I had MA in a prime spot in the garden, toward the back of the border due to reports of its height. I got 2-3 blooms first year, then some buds that crisped up in a hot day/dry wind day -- then nothing for over a year, then a couple of blooms, then nothing. So I moved it to a shadier part of the yard where it wasn't in a prime spot -- and got maybe 2 buds, but deer got those. So -- not MA's fault that deer got the 2 buds from 2021, and not MA's fault that the buds in 2017 were dried up by the sundowner winds. And, maybe not even MA's fault that it got a poor start. The famous nursery about an hour's drive away that sold me both MA and Dark Desire sold them in 5 gallon pots, but the roots looked more like 1 gallon plants from Heirloom. The Dark Desire died, and I replaced it, and had about the same luck with that one. I gave DD away last month to a neighbor, and will now offer him the MA. I've given MA and DD 5 years to perform, and they haven't. So, as Moses says, life is too short (and garden space too limited) to wait that long. So, bye bye MA. Sigh. p.s. I mis-remembered my dates in above post -- I got MA in late winter of 2017....See MoreMadame Anisette ..aka.. Glorious Parfuma ..aka.. Madame de la Vallière

Comments (6)I gave up on Madame Anisette last year. Never bloomed. Grew like a telephone pole. I may have gotten a dud. It got a great spot to grow in, and dutiful care. I may try it again in the future after the reports from many folks start to paint the true picture of this rose. At my age I should have learned by now not to rush into putting a new rose into my bed regardless of the marketing hype. I have always fallen for a pretty face, rose or female! My one and only rose bed is 8' X 18' and every spot in it must have a satisfactory rose or out it comes to make room for a better candidate. Chamblee's removed it from their inventory. A good rose does not get the boot by Mark, at Chamblee's for no reason. He gave the same boot to Summer Romance and Zaide recently, too. Both of these were duds for me. There are some great Kordes roses though, just not these in my garden. Moses...See MoreIs your Madame Anisette bush flowering this year? Please, let us see.
Comments (39)Oursteelers -- your photos show not only the beautiful blooms but also what beautiful glossy foliage this variety has. Sumera -- try Roses Unlimited: she carries it as an own-root young plant. See https://rosesunlimitedsc.com/ It is listed under "Collections -- Kordes", and I think it is under hybrid teas also....See Moremjkjrobinson
