Oliver, did you order this rose or get lucky and find your locally ?

I saw one a couple of years ago ad a bodybag at Walmart and thought. Who the heck had even heard of this rose lol Guess that the joke is on me

Buy the way your rise is pretty incredible!

Thanks. I bought it from a local nursery. But I would also order it online from Regan nursery. the roses I got from them always look great.

Looks like everyone is sold out right now so it could be next spring. But then my husband will maybe believe me when I say that I am done for the year

Kristine,

I can only comment on Rosie - first year in a large pot, planted grafted bare root. It did well in Spring, then summer came and lost half the leaves to black spot.

It's struggling in the heat but it's still trying to bloom - but the blooms are probably less than half what they were in Spring.

I can't judge it by its first year though - but I can provide some pictures from Spring, soon after being planted bare root. I hope the BS issue and defoliation will be overcome with maturity, but who knows. It's a recently introduced rose, after all so it's not clear how it performs long term.

Very similar to Easy Does It, which you might want to consider if you're looking for a sunset type rose. I love those. It does become more washed out with heat and bloom maturity.

And in the summer...much smaller blooms - they look even smaller in reality than in this picture. Less than a regular zinnia.

And BS defoliation...

Based on what I've seen so far, I doubt it will become my favorite rose but it's nice in Spring.

Now I am kind of thinking Brilliant Veranda

So I take it you're looking for a big punch, striking orange?

I love super bright colors in the landscape! I am now thinking of Vavoom.

Severe. I have lots of peachy colors but nothing electric orange

It is time.

I love the color of The of

Rosie has been a great rose for me, very interesting colors, profuse bloom, nice habit.

Here is my Adobe Sunrise this afternoon. The second flush is a lot more orange than the salmony tones of the first.

I can see lots of orange coming my way. Whoo

BenT,

Is this picture taken now? In the heat of Texas summer? If yes, you must not be human! :)

If I could ever get my Rosie looking even 50% as good, I will consider myself a pro. She is in a container and I will give it a while to see what she can do potted.

But your bloom coverage! Aah! Superb.

Rosie was released in 2017 so your bush can't be more than 3 years old.

And you got it looking like this in 3 years? That's a whoaza.

Kristine,

If I could have it my way, every single flower I have would be electric something. :)

I am a sucker for neon colors in the landscape. I love the way they grab you by the collar and make it clear you have a bloom party going on. :)

Kristine have you looked at Ring of Fire? I think I have one (unlabeled clearance from Walmart, the only two oranges they stocked were Ring of Fire and Sweet Mademoiselle) so I have been looking them both up on HMF and RoF is an amazing rich orange color. It is very healthy for me and a nice tidy rounded bush. Just throwing it out there : )

@BenT (9B Sunset 14), Your Rosie is so beautiful! I think someone on the forum commented that the flower did not last, Is that your experience too? I personally do not like self-cleaning roses, especially the ones that flowers last only a day or two. Please share your thought.

Severe, I agree, I love those hot colors.

Thanks Joey, I will check out Ring of Fire

Joey, Ring of Fire is a really hot color. I love the color but it is too tall for the place I have in mind.

There are sure some fabulous orange roses.

As an update, Cinco de Mayo is a great little rose

I totally forgot about Mango Veranda

I almost ordered it last fall. So whatever else that I end up with I will definitely add Mango Veranda to the list.

Adobe Sunrise is on its way.

I was going to replace At Last but at last it finally had a wonderful flush that was impressive enough to keep it around.

But I have another place for AS so no problem.

Another really cool rose that I am so happy with is Frida Kahlo.

I had considered Ring of Fire but with all of the local losses to fire, I think that I will pass for now

Kristine LeGault 8a pnw do you have a photo of your Adobe Sunrise?

I ordered some roses, but they ran out of one of the ones I ordered, so I randomly picked Adobe Sunrise instead.

Kristine will probably have some better pictures but here's my Adobe Sunrise last year.

joeywyomingz4b Now I'm really excited! I wish the sellers alerted me sooner, I ordered a potted Margo Koster on 6/1/21 and they didn't tell me it was out of stock till I called today 6/18/21 and picked out Adobe Sunrise, but yours looks amazingly glowy and beautiful!

Roses, I haven't gotten a pictire yet, the light was never right but Joey's picture is accurate. It is so much prettier than I expected. The sunset colors are really pretty.

I know that you will love this rose.

I dont know what the problem is with my Adobe Sunrise? but in the spring I got 4 blooms and nothing since . I have to blame the soil so I will try it in a pot for a while. Maybe a cactus in its place

I bought Rosie because of BenT's photos, also a photo posted by Judy's Pretty Petals on IG. Now, if she would just grow. She's coming back from winter kill this year, so the poor thing has had a rough life. The blooms, here, have been an orangey, pinkish blend, so maybe not the vibrancy you're looking for, Kristine. Crazy Love is similar, but more orange.
