Favorite orange family roses
Comments (35)Ooo! I like that one too. Portlandia is a similar pretty blend of pink and orange. However I think it has too many petals? This one also has what I'd describe as light or medium green foliage. Heirloom's website says Portlandia has 80+ petals and dark green leathery foliage. Heirloom sent me another email a bit ago for more info to help identify the rose. Hopefully they will have an answer for us soon? :-) We had an inch of rain here yesterday afternoon. The flower handled the storm very well. I'd say it just faded in color a bit around the edges. It still smells wonderful too. I'm not detecting a scent to Hot Cocoa after the rain, but I can smell this one before I walk up to it....See MoreWhat Roses have you ordered so far-2018 and want list
Comments (110)rosecanadian, you may have already seen the pictures I shared before, but here we go again! I love Belinda because she smells dreamy, tough as nails, in constant bloom and one of my first roses! (my mom purchased her for me, along with a few others) The other thing is that she has so many different "faces". Classy, upright buds that turn into the most glorious blowsy blooms! I can cut flowers and they seem to last forever in the vase...scents the whole room. I have seen many post that she is not that fragrant for them..but not the case in my humid, hot climate. She is a rose that I will always have..234I cut her back for the first time this year (4th year growing, I think) so she would put on more growth from the bottom. My son's lab plowed thru her while playing with my little dogs! My girls went under and Scout went through! lol I did see a touch of black spot this year, but she drops a few leaves and soldiers on. NEVER looks bad..even in our 98 degree + weather. I have one that I rooted a few years ago, planted in a spot in the yard that is a pain to access with a hose, and it is thriving. I watered it a few times with a watering can and that is it! This was a few years ago. She is in my back yard that gets full sun from the south and west. She never wilts even with the excessive heat radiating from the driveway and light colored bricks. (and gracious, everything else does!!) I actually planted a forest pansy redbud behind her...that area bakes!! Tea olives are another must have southern staple. They also just bake and thrive....See MoreHigh Country Roses has moved.

Comments (57)Vaporvac, I would love it if you could come. But there aren't any other rose aficionados there. I brought Oranges N Lemons and Sally Holmes last year and there weren't really any takers. The Oranges N Lemons went in the free for all at the end where you just grab whats left but I brought the Sally Holmes home. This year I didn't bring the Gourmet Popcorn I gave away because we hadn't dug it up yet. Instead I advertised it on Nextdoor so someone could research it and really want it. If I thought there would be any interest we would have made more of an effort to get it dug up. In terms of timing they are decided upon a few weeks in advance based on the schedule of the person volunteering to host. BTW, my other Oranges N Lemons I tried to propagate died over the winter in our basement but the Sally Holmes appears to have hung on. It showed a small amount of new growth this spring but is back in the basement due to bad weather. I don't yet know where I will put it if I keep it. The Oranges N Lemons in the yard showed great new growth a month ago but then got badly shredded by the hail. Right now it is looking iffy if it makes it with barely any green on it's little stub of a self. I think if it doesn't I won't replace it with another. We just have bad juju with that rose. First it gets run over with a garden cart the same day it goes in the ground, then the rooting portion dies due to neglect when my mom forgot to water the basement plants while we were on vacation. And now it gets hammered by hail....See MoreWhat Would Be a Perfect Fall Rose?
Comments (44)I just remembered that I have ANOTHER Augusta Luise coming in fall from Peter @ Freedom Gardens, in addition to the new one I just planted from Palatine...and I already have 2 Carding Mill. So -- I think I will stick with the peachy ones I have and maybe grow another Munstead (which I love)...Not that you all need to know my every plan! But the ideas shared here have given me inspiration. I also have a Madam Anisette that should give me the creamy tones -- and I have a Marmalade Skies that I planted for my husband...so if they all bloom together, I could make a pretty gorgeous fall bouquet...Plus I just planted two more roses that could work well in a fall arrangement -- Polka and Mel's Heritage. Though they are so small, it will probably be a while before I get a lot. Thank you all -- again -- for your great ideas! I went out several times this weekend trying to imagine where I could fit one more rose -- just can't do it. I still have these coming: Sweet Delight, Eustacia Vye, Gabriel Oak, and Heritage. Plus I have that one more AL coming in fall. So...already I don't have room for these. What am I thinking that I could add another? The only way I'm adding another rose this year is if I finally give up on Dark Desire, Madam Anisette, and Queen of Sweden. All have been beyond slow to take off. This is year 4. If they don't deliver this year... I moved MA & DD to new locations to see if that helps....See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
