The better climber? Teasing Georgia or The Pilgrim?
Comments (13)Kate, My largest TG plant is 13' high and 9' wide, but that is counting some new canes at the top. I'd say most of the plant is about 9x9'. The octopus canes at the top are bigging to arch over. It is not a sprawly gangly plant, but mostly makes a well-branched sturdy plant, just a nice shape and covered in blooms when it blooms. My smaller TG plant is not as happy in its location and is about 4x4'. My Dublin Bay plant is not grown on a support and it is about as wide as TG though not as tall. My Golden Celebration plant is about 6x6' I think. TG is bigger than Eden here, taller and wider. I just don't think TG would need a pillar and would overwhelm one. My The Pilgrim plant is so much sprawlier, but a friend's plant of it was about an 8x8' globe shaped thing. I wonder if Danae would be a good yellow for you. The blooms are not 1/4 as beautiful as those Austins, IMO, but they are pretty and the plant is very blackspot resistant. Danae has more flexible canes also. Good vigor but doesn't get as huge here. The color fades quickly though. Buff Beauty is often yellow. Linda...See MoreTeasing Georgia as a pillar rose?
Comments (7)I live in Florida, so we have different conditions, but I can tell what I have observed in my garden. This is Teasing Georgia's first year. Currently it is covered in blackspot, but I have not sprayed for a while. It is the kind of rose I think that gets a lot of blackspot, but does not defoliate. Florida is the blackspot capital of the world by the way. It had less blackspot in the hot humid summer than it now has in the cool dry fall. Other than the blackspot it is very healthy. Mine is grafted on fortuniana rootstock. It has not had a ton of blooms, but they are very pretty and have a light smell. The thing is a monster in my garden, it is at least as tall and my Don Juan climber. It puts out these stiff octopus canes....See MoreTeasing Georgia Rose question
Comments (7)Two things come to mind. It could very well be a sucker from the root it was grafted onto. If it is fortuniana then it would be he Cherokee rose, which has white flowers once a year. I'm not sure what the other root systems would throw up. It could also be a sport, which is a new rose on a branch that unexpectedly comes about by mutation--very accidental and rare, but they do happen. Below is Malcom Manner's explanation of a rose sport. If it is a sport it would be very cool because it is new kind of rose. You could get a cutting and have it named after you. Here is a link that might be useful: rose sport...See MoreTeasing Georgia as a pruned shrub
Comments (26)I had to dig up my TG. It was in a spot right by my front door and as I said, I was struggling to keep it in line without pruning it every two weeks or so. I dug it up a few weeks ago and put Crown Princess Margarete in it's place. She will also climb, but is much more mannerly. Digging up these huge roses and keeping them in pots over a bad winter has not been fun. But since planting CPM, which I was concerned about, I see she has many new basals starting. Of course I had to cover those from the frost last night. TG I honestly thought I killed it. It was in a pot, the largest one I have, but any growth left died back. I had to cut it back to one large cane. But it does seem to be getting new growth. TG has always came back strong from being cut back. I did put it in the basement last night, so it would not get hit by the frost. TG is going to be the centerpiece of my new circular rose bed. I have a large 7 foot wood obelisk that she will go on and no chance of snaring visitors to the front door....See MoreShay (5a NH)
