Rosecanadian, I don't remember Parade Day's fragrance. The Japanese Beetles left it alone so I'm tempted to say there wasn't one but I could be wrong as I don't have one in front of me to smell (yet).

You asked for it!

Raspberry Cream Twirl

Flamingo Dancer — in January.

This one is a miniature (Burlington).

And this is a miniflora.

By the way, Matthew, I definitely see the Bob Weir resemblance in Harry Wheatcroft. I can easily picture him belting out “El Paso.”

☮️🎸🤤

I am not that into stripes because the high contrast of the colors distracts the eye from from the petal shapes, but I really like the more muted color blends of Peach Swirl, Candice, and Marc Chagall.

mmmm - well hopefully I'll find out this year. Mine never bloomed last year. :)

Sylvia - all the air left my lungs when I saw your Flamingo Dancer (Flamenco??)!!!! Utterly beautiful!!!!

rosecanadian, was it a fall planting? Why didn't it bloom?

I am so jazzed to see the pictures of peach Swirl . Mine just went in to the ground. Also waiting on Marc chigall and Maurice Utillo

3 new stripes whoo hooo!

mmmmm - I had the worst summer for my roses that I've ever had. Rain, rain, rain, rain and lots of cool weather. Plus I used a potting mixture with a lot of fines and no organic mixture...which I thought would be fine...but??? And I think the ph was all out of whack. And the worst was that I used organic fertilizer instead of inorganic (better for pots I think). After last summer, and how powdery mildew covered every leaf...I don't know anymore what I did wrong. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping for better. Plus I'm going to use inorganic fertilizer. Sigh...it was a horrible summer. And I had tried some pots with this type of "soil" and those pots with another and.... And then, my record keeping was terrible...so I ended up not knowing what the h*ll I was doing. LOL

Nick - that's a stellar Peach Swirl bloom...absolutely glorious!!!

I really appreciate your honest report, Carol. It will help many people avoid heartache. Someone talked about MG organic potting soil being a disaster for them. They might have been in a rainy area too. So many variables make it hard to figure out sometimes. I try to keep records to help me too. Good luck this year. You deserve it to go well.

Rosa Canadian — it is Flamingo Dancer, not Flamenco. Easy to confuse. My FD came from Burlington Nursery here in California. She bred it herself, I think. Check her out on HMF under Commercial Growers or Nurseries.

so easy to grow! Thanks.

Sylvia - yeah, later I looked it up and realized my goof. :)

Sheila - thanks! I will definitely stay away from MG organic potting soil. And with our lack of heat here, I, also don't like using potting soil with moisture control. Thanks so much for the good wishes for my roses. I don't want another summer like last year. :) You always make me feel especially valued here. :) :)

Sylvia, School Spirit, which is pictured above, was also bred by Burling Leong, I purchased it when she's spoke about rose breeding at our monthly meeting of the East Bay Rose Society last fall.

I'm not that crazy about stripes though I have a good many. I tend to like the softer, less contrasty ones best.

Rosa Mundi - I guess its simplicity complements the stripes .

Same with Fourth of July - this one is just always cheerful looking to me

I like Wonderstripe a lot , and I often think of it as a softer stripe :

Tiny Strawberry Swirl is a really cute miniature moss bred by Ralph Moore:

Hurdy Gurdy , a cl. mini

Vick's Caprice

Alfred Sisley

Edgar Degas, very healthy

Erasmus - You have a lovely striped rose collection! Peach Swirl appears to be available from Edmunds Roses. I think it was available from Regan earlier this year. I got mine from a local nursery in the Bay Area.

I like Wonderstripe too! How big is yours? Mine is starting year two and is less than 2ft tall.

2020 roses · More Info

Maurice Utrillo..the name kept disappearing.

Erasmus - now that you mention it...I love all of your subtle stripes the best! So I agree with you, even though it never occurred to me before...I love subtle stripes the best! Thank you! :) Your Wonder Stripe, Vick's Caprice and Alfred Sisley are swoony stripes!!!!!

Ann - Oooh! I love the brightness of the stripes on your Wonder Stripe!!! I guess I have no loyalty to soft stripes. LOL

111 - what is that rose called? It's very exotic looking! :)

Thanks for info on where to buy Peach Swirl.

Ann, I don't know how old my Wonderstripe is but I'm guessing about 5 years. I have two plants of it, one is about 4' tall , the other maybe 4.5'. Both are kind of upright but branchy. Not that wide.

Thanks erasmus! I'm looking forward to seeing my Wonderstripe build up some size in the next year or so.

Ann

Here's Rosa Mundi which may or may not be the first rose with stripes

These are also pretty! I have only ever had one, which was a mistake first place but I was very disappointed in the end when it died from an exposed graft in a cold winter a couple of years ago. It was unnamed and I id'd it as Candy Land. Lovely fragrance.

I am swooning over everybody's photos of Peach Swirl. Wow! Thanks for sharing. That would look magnificent in an arrangement with the color palette for most of my dahlias...

My first bloom from Marc Chagall, I wish there was a fragrance to match its beauty. (Single day between pictures)

Nick your Marc chigall is beautiful! I have some buds so it won't be long.

Ann, where did you find your Wonder Stipe?

Really loving Wonderstripe and Neil Diamond!!!

Hi Kristine -

I got Wonderstripe from Heirloom Roses who I believe is the hybridizer.

Ann

No one has mentioned the actual rose Show Your Stripes.

Show Your Stripes rose

Erasmus - Your collection of striped roses are stunning! Really liking the color combo of Alfred Sisley!

Ann - Your Wonderstripe is just gorgeous! Putting this one on my wish list!

Nick - Love seeing the transition of your beautiful Marc Chagall!

Striped roses are starting to grow on me. Here's a pic of my first striped rose blooming:

Maurice Utrillo

Greenman - There is something electric about Rosa Mundi ... and your picture showcases that presence it has! Gorgeous!!

Nick - the difference in the look of your bloom from one day to another is really cool!!! I especially love the 2nd picture!

Glimmer - oh wow!!!! What a fabulous stripey!

my only Raspberry cream twirl bloom without proliferation, so far. 😔

Love this thread. I just bought my first stripe today - Neil Diamond - on the strength of Ben's exhortations over the years.

Has anyone grown Ferdinand Pichard? I saw it in the David Austin rose garden last year in England. It was beautiful! I wonder how it'd do in my climate... I was also tempted by the variegata de bologna -- gorgeous photo.

that Vick's Caprice is amazing! I must go look that one up...

Does anyone grow Red Intuition? How does she perform In your yard? Will she be ok in the desert? I like her pictures on HelpMeFind.

Sheryl - dang! But, if it's any consolation...that one bloom is wonderful!!! My oh my!!!

Ann, my bank account is relieved Wonderstrip is sold out

Kristine - 😆 LOL! I hope you signed up to get notified when its back in stock. We need to support the economy!

Ann

I’m not huge into striped roses, but some of these are stunners! I would have to agree on preferring the softer stripes, with less contrast. Variegata de Bologna, Candace, Vick’s Caprice, Wonderstripe, Raspberry Cream Twirl and Peach Swirl would definitely be favorites.

I only have one, which I picked up as a novelty. First bloom on Alfred Sisley:

I actually like it more than I thought I would. Haha :)

Purple Tiger (I’m not 100% certain though) I took this photo June 7th 2018 and I’m in zone 6b!

Striped roses are my favorite! Here are mine:

All American Magic

Candy Land

I'm not sure about the name of this one. It is a miniature that I got from Home Depot; I think it may be one of the Sunblaze series.

Gigi

One of the miniature Parade roses, I'm not sure which one. It occasionally blooms with stripes on the flowers.

My Purple Tiger is going to open its first bud in a day or so. I'm so excited! It was the first striped rose that I had ever seen. I will post a picture of it when it opens.

Have a nice day everyone!

damask_rose : )

All so nice! Romanticorp, how does Purple Tiger grow for you? I love the look of it but hear the plant is wimpy.

Here's a subtle stripe: Peppermint China, tiny little blooms but lots of them

Ferdinand Pichard

Fran's Pirouette , my own open pollinated double, fragrant seedling of Fourth of July

Fran's Pirouette Is so beautiful. I like her more than the parent. I grew Fourth of July once and I did not care much. The canes were too stiffed to train. You are so talented, erasmus_gw!

Erasmus -- how is Ferdinand Pichard in your garden? Does the shrub look good most of the time? Disease-resistant? I loved it at the David Austin Rose garden in England, but haven't seen it in USA.

Romantic - My goodness!!! Those are STUNNING roses!!! The colors are glorious!!!

Damask - man, oh man I love your 2nd picture of AAM!!! I've always loved Candy Land (I don't grow it)...yours has so many blooms! I really love the picture right above Gigi.

Erasmus - I can't believe that you got that beautiful rose from an OP seed!!! Way to go!! Without you...that rose would never be...OP or not...you created it! I also really love your FP...that rose always bowls me over!!

Dilly - when I clicked on your picture and saw the full shot...it was mesmerizing! The bloom is really showy!

Erasmus- they were actually already growing when I purchased this house and it had been neglected and I think a bit poorly placed (they are right beside a driveway and close to a chestnut tree) but they seem to get enough sun to bloom. It is a bit gangly and the insects love to chew on it so i periodically check to spritz them with soap or a strong-ish spray with the hose trying to not knock the buds too much. The blooms are worth it. I need to find a spot to relocate it.

Rosecanadian- I think I read earlier in the thread that you’ve got some roses in pots, yes? Has that been successful? I’d like to try a rose in a container eventually, currently they are all in-ground.

My campfire ones went ballistic last year and bloomed twice!!!! Had to get pictures of them and it survived the winter with flying colors. In fact it was getting leaves on it before my shield rose!!!!

Thank you about Fran's P. I guess I'm going to have to try Purple Tiger.

I no longer grow Ferdinand Pichard but when I did I liked it but it was blackspot prone.

Romantic - don't get me started LOL...I've had about 8 years of glorious roses and 2 years of meh and last year of oh the horror! LOL There are many better people to ask. LOL I am good at overwintering roses in pots if my daughter doesn't leave the garage door open in -32C weather. Sigh.

My "Purple Tiger" finally bloomed! It took way longer to bloom than I thought it would. The blossoms got damaged pretty badly by the heat.

Have a nice evening,

damask_rose : )

My first Candy Land bloom!

Wow, it's beautiful! I'm so happy it is doing well for you!
