Would like to know if brigadoon should be bought own root or grafted. I hear such glowing reviews on hmf about this rose, I am very tempted. plus I love blends.

Brigadoon is an excellent rose for the South, it keeps high quality blooms even in the heat of summer.

Can’t speak to own-root, mine is grafted on Fortuniana

Thank you so much BenT!! I didn't realize that pic is from your garden, this is the one that put it on my must have list. I have 2 roses on fortuniana and both are sickly looking. Munstead wood, Molineaux was planted in ground about a month ago. I have poets wife from david austin(not sure what they graft it on) right next to Molineaux(fortuniana) and it is robust, healthy sending numerous new canes. Munstead wood, Molineaux do not have not much growth on it. Munstead is a one stick wonder. I had heard such reviews about fortuniana root stock. I lost one that was also on fortuniana, Huntington. All were from K&M roses. Also, even though the plant graft is above soil level. Fortuniana is sending out side branches. I will take a picture and post it. I don't know what I am doing wrong as there is not one person out there that does not speak favorably of their rose grafted on fortuniana..Richmond VA

hmmm, fragrance? well, my friend says it is very fragrant but I really cannot recall noticing much of a scent at all. I checked on Beales website as it is one of his and he rates the fragrance as 7/10. In truth, I think I noticed the all round healthiness of this rose as it is not really one I would naturally gravitate to. I would say this could be a good rose for you in some ways, Sherry, as the breckland soil around Attleborough is basically sandy loam over chalk. I think the main difference, apart from the general all round hot florida sun, comes down to humidity - not sure how well IR would perform in a hot and damp situation as Norfolk is classed as semi-arid, being one of the dryest counties in the UK.

Own-root climbing HT -- how well do they do?

The best one for me is Climbing Iceberg which I purchased from Wayside. I believe it is grafted. This is the 2nd year and it just keeps blooming. As of now, it still has a few blooms on it. For just a young plant, I think it is doing very well. Teasing Georgia on ownroot from Jackson and Perkins just keeps on growing and is basically for me a once bloomer. Fourth of July also ownroot from J&P too grows alot but since that is outside my fence is continually eaten by deers so I can't tell you about that one. An interesting thing happened with Fourth of July- one of its hips apparently got buried under the soil next to the mother plant and from this, a baby FOJ is growing! What I have tried so hard and failed miserably in propagating rose cuttings, Nature has done her miracle so easily!

Does anyone grow First Prize own-root?

You're probably right that it wasn't bred to be an own-root plant. Roses Unlimited has much experience with own-root ht's and they are sure that many do well. I have some good own-root ht's and some that aren't, for whatever reason. I don't know how long First Prize has been offered own-root but somebody out there might have one, either regular or climbing form. Relative to my other own-root climbers Cl. First Prize is very slow. I think I've had it about four years. The one in the ground hasn't grown much at all, but one in a pot is a little better.

Judith: Pumice is porous volcanic rocks with neutral pH, versus red and black lava rock at high pH over 9. Pumice comes in smaller particles, and used for growing succulents with its fast drainage. Pumice is very expensive at over $25 for 3 gallons, versus I can get a 40 lb. of lava rock for $6 at Menards store.

Some things I notice on your fortuniana roses...... one I think you have a fortuniana sucker growing from below ground.... which also leads me to ask where is your graph union.... on fortuniana the graph is supposed to be above ground NOT below.... you may have it that way.... I can't tell from the pick.

Another thing is that you want to water enough to help get it established, but you don't want to over water them.... especially young plants. They have shallow roots so you have to make sure they don't dry out, but fortuniana roses can drown especially if they drop leaves from bs....

Fortuniana grafted plants are rather young and a bit delicate when you get them, largely due to the thin and high bud graft. They shouldn’t start out in an area too exposed, especially to wind. It might be a good idea to grow it into a 5 gal pot until the plant gets bigger, at that point its much tougher. Do snap off those suckers at the base when they appear, even my 4 year old Brigadoon will get them.
