Please recommend mid-size pink/dark pink old rose look shrub
Comments (15)I would recommend Gertrude Jekyll for colder zones. It is very hardy. I don't have too much trouble with blackspot in my no spray zone 5a garden although Lady Emma Hamilton sure gets some. Mary Rose is also good. Rugosa roses such as Pierette Pavement or Foxy Pavement are another alternative. Hardy Buck roses like Earth Song or Country Dancer are also hardy and disease resistant but, like rugosas, do not have old fashioned bloom form. Easy Elegance roses are also disease resistant....See MorePink Hydrangea Tree ??
Comments (12)Hi there. Well, I have about 13 types of paniculata. I haven't really noticed that any of them hold their pink longer than others. But they all do bloom at slightly different times. Some of them are a clearer pink than otherse, though. My Pink Diamond tends to have a little bit of green in it. I've posted this picture before, but Ruby aka Angel's Blush is my favorite - the brightest pink. I can't comment on my Quick Fire since it was just planted last spring and didn't do much during it's first growing season - it seemed to be similar to Pink Diamond in color. I believe the name is in reference to it's earlier bloom time. I have not grown the other three types you mention. Dirr's book has only a reference to Pink Cloud. There is also a new one I have on order called Pinky Winky - supposed to be an improvement on Pink Diamond....See Morebest pink flowering hydrangea, advice please?
Comments (4)Thank you all for your advice. I looked around on the internet and then went to a fine nursery which had Bella Anna, which I tbought to be beautiful and more than I had hoped for. The Bella Annas were in large containers and were a bit expensive but an employee pulled me aside and whispered to me that the nursery was having an unadvertised half price sale on a number of plants and all hydrangeas were included. I wish I had the space for several more but am grateful that I can put this one in! I will be there tomorrow as they unlock the doors and open the gates. I dont suppose that there is a reblooming blue flowering hydrangea similar in characteristics to Bella Anna - or is that just too darn greedy of me to wish for? ;) When I have extra time Im going to read that thread Hay started - I am familiar with him through another forum and am aware that there are very few that knows as much as he does about hydrangeas. What a gorgeous garden he must have, not just due to his hydrangeas but all the other planting beds he must have. Thank you all for your help and I am certainly going to explore Glowing Embers. If I must, other plants could be sacrificed to the gardening gods in order to make room for a new addition! The drawback would be the single bloom rather than reblooming abilities. I dont have a lot of room so all my roses and hydrangeas must be work horses. The only thing that can escape a rebloom and remain are my peonies. I only wish some genius could introduce a fluffy, frilly peony that would constantly rebloom AND would produce more the more you cut for the vase- what perfection that would be? Sadly, that will probably not happen in my lifetime. But, I can dream......;)...See MoreRecommendation for white/green hydrangea for border
Comments (2)Little Lamb's a great one, and sounds like just the right size - there are some good threads you can find about it by searching. Little Lime's unproven and expensive, so there's that. Can't speak as to the other two....See MoreUser
