Comments (4)Thank you, aimeekitty and Lance. Lance, I am glad I took the pictures of the "right" roses. Majorie Palmer is indeed impressive, the blooms are huge for a poly and she is very generous with them. I hope you like yours and please post pictures.

Comments (10)I've had Katherina Zeimet for a couple of years now. It started as a bareroot grafted from Pickering, but when I decided to grow only own-root roses I was able to root a cutting of it no problem, which can't be said of many rose varieties. My experience with polyanthas and fragrance is different from yours--I find that most lack fragrance, and Katharina is an exception as she does have a nice, moderate fragrance. She does bloom almost non-stop. I just recieved my Lady Anne Kidwell from Vintage, and she hasn't bloomed yet. I hear her color is fabulous and unique, though. One thing to think about perhaps--the Rogue Valley clone of this rose has developed the RMV, and the Vintage one apparently has not, so you might want to either grab one for that reason, or be suspicious that it might have the virus without symptoms, depending on whether your a pessimist or optimist....See More"Must Have Roses" ??
Comments (20)I've been pondering this question for several days. Roses are much like children: One loves each one, but in a different way. Consequently, it's hard to assess them in a comparative way as a "must have" or not. Looking at it completely objectively, I'd say that 'Faberge' is certainly a "must have." Objectively, it's the best rose I've ever grown: Floriferous, blossoms which are beautifully formed in each stage, handsome healthy foliage on a stocky and vigorous plant, good gradation of color in the flowers, nice scent. It's about as perfect as a rose can be. But I'm not terribly fond of orange roses; and so my feelings of appreciation of the merits of this rose, while strong, are a bit cold. Yes, it's a must have, because it's a perfect rose; but [shiver] it's orange. But if the question were "what roses could you not do without?", it would be a more personal question, and easier to answer. In no particular order: --'Souvenir de la Malmaison' --'Leonie Lamesch' --'Climbing Cramoisi Superieur' --'Anna Olivier' (my specimen, alas, is dying; but I have a new one on the way) --an unknown pink Tea originally from Heritage Rose Gardens which resists all my attempts to propagate --Robichon's 'Sunshine' --'Zalud House Shingled Raspberry' (might be 'Clara Barton') --'Leprechaun' --'Archiduc Charles' --'Peach Beauty' --'Robinette' --'Lady Ann Kidwell' --R. hemisphaerica 'Maxima' --'Snowbird' --'Chrysler Imperial' in some form (I have the climbing version) --'Safrano' I have many many other roses which I cherish; but the above, despite whatever fault or faults each might have (the unknown pink Tea is probably the closest to perfection), are the ones which, when I see a bud opening, or see the plant in full bloom, or smell the fragrance wafting from afar, uplift my heart. They are my "must haves"; they might not be another's....See MoreYour Best Spring Performers
Comments (21)Wow... these photos are gorgeous and I will need to go back through and read more of everyone's wonderfully informative descriptions once my brain isn't fried from weekend classes. Ingrid... Schon Ingeborg has been a quite impressive new spring performer here during my hot and dry spring. It did so well in hot, full sun over the past couple of weeks that I thought I would test it next to a stone wall with a lot of radiant heat to see how much it could actually handle. This may prove to be too much for it, but it's in a pulp pot for now so I can keep moving it and testing it in different places until I find the right spot for it to flourish. It is VERY fragrant. It came from Palatine and was a bare root, not a band. It's just a little short thing for now, but lots of blooms! If I'm not mistaken, the mother plant was from oldrosarian's yard. She said it balled terribly in the PNW, but I'm learning from this forum that blooms that ball for others do quite well here and don't blow or crisp as easily in the dry heat. The heat here encouraged it to set A LOT of fragrant buds. They're really petal packed, luscious, fragrant and can stand heat. It's a great one so far for my hot and dry garden!...See MoreRelated Professionals
