Brand new 2021 variety from Jackson & Perkins. I bought it on impulse, thanks to the marketing picture. I do like the color. I can only detect a light fruity scent so far. It has a nice bushy upright habit. Blooms are a bit on the smaller size.

It's true... roses do not perform well after 1st year in pots
Comments (15)All my roses are in pots for the reason that I'm a renter and that I like to rearrange roses periodically. I'd echo many of the points already made. I agree growing roses is generally easier in the ground but can be successful in pots. I'm not personally familiar with Austins. The one I recall growing years ago, Graham Thomas, was a sprawling monster not suited to being in a rose bed with bedding roses, let alone in a pot. It also blackspotted horribly, but that's an issue only of concern is some regions and climates. Selecting compact varieties certainly helps. Drainage and good potting medium are key. As already mentioned, lots of tap roots are not helpful in pot culture. I'd just add that this is precisely why I try to avoid roses grafted on Dr. Huey. I don't know what Australia's roses tend to be offered on as far as rootstock. But Dr. Huey rootbounds for me after 2 years. Growing roses on their own roots is my preference for pot culture. They seem to adapt more easily to pot life. If I can only find a variety I'm looking for on Dr. Huey, I'll get it but watch it and plan on root pruning every couple years, or, when appropriate, rooting a cutting from the grafted plant to replace the original. Occasionally a rose doesn't grow well on its own roots. I either give up on it or get it grafted on multiflora or fortuniana. Both have plentiful feeder roots and few to no sprawling taproots. Sometimes I procrastinate about root pruning, but usually by at least 4 year intervals I will do it at winter pruning time and partially replace the soil at the same time. That seems to rejeuvenate the roses. If it doesn't, I replace the offending rose. There are always new varieties on my wish list eager to take the spot. Though potted roses are more trouble in general, one advantage is I can control and ensure good drainage much more easily. Another is that I never struggle with invasive tree roots, which often happens in the ground. Mike...See More1st day of 'Summer' pics
Comments (5)Yeh I have probably over 100 potted plants this year. Im still not sure if I will let the big yuccas die, but if I do sometimes I take off the heads and root them. They root really easily. The yuccas came from Home Depot and the tall one was 30 dollars and the small one 20 something so they werent too expensive for their size. I wish I could take all my plants in, but I only have room for the more expensive ones, or the harder to find ones. The good thing about cannas and elephant ears though is they dont take up any room when you store the bulbs....See MoreBack Garden Shots - 1st Set
Comments (18)Thanks again everyone, your kind comments are greatly appreciated. Judy, thank you, that was so sweet of you to say that. The rose your are talking about is St. Patrick - a lovely HT. Of course it is washed out looking on this picture. Judy I am not quite sure which path you are talking about. Is it the one that goes through the new bed, leading to the shade garden. If so, that path goes through and behind the shade garden. Right in the middle of it is small circular lawn which I hope to add a fountain to the centre. There WILL be a seat in that area. I may post some of the shade garden pics after the next couple of batches (posted before) but You may get more of an idea. Daun, I have dabbled with HMF and posted some pics, but I have many more that I would like to post there. Yes I do have some roses listed there, but not many, and No my garden is not on the site. (under Pauline's Roses) Thank you also so much Sheri and Les and Jeanie. I will post some close ups as soon as I can. I do have trouble with my wide angled shots, detail not clear enough and washed out. All other aspects of my camera are great, but I get frustrated and actually took almost three days off from the garden just to try and go through my manual to get better pics and experiment. I really got myself in a mess. changing all the settings to find out that that was not want I wanted either and changed them all back again.. Very frustrating. I will get me that Cannon, yet! heehee! Bustopher, here's one for you Here, there are purple petunias, lobelia, and campanula in the rear rose bed, blue and white. I also grow lots of different campanulas which I will post pics when I am more caught up also Johnson's Blue geranium, just started delphiniums, of course Hydrangeas and fall asters. Thanks again everyone for your great comments. Pauline - Vancouver Island...See MoreGrandiflora Rose - Fun in the Sun (1st year - 1st flush)
Comments (9)My Fun in the Sun rose (planted bareroot this year) is on its second flush -- just as good as the first flush -- super healthy - gorgeous flowers - lovely fragrance. LOVE IT. I looked it up on helpmefind and read this -- which I don't understand -- "The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, a non-disseminated seedling of my creation by the following combination of characteristics: whereas `WEKpupmobalip` bears very double flowers (about 54 to 146 petals) of gold suffused with pink coloration, the non-disseminated seedling bears double flowers of soft orange coloration with significantly lesser petalage (about 24 to 28 petals). The new variety bears flowers with a strong fruity and spices fragrance, whereas the seed parent bears flowers with a light tea fragrance. The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, `WEKjucistwe` by the following combination of characteristics: whereas `WEKpupmobalip` bears medium to large sized flowers (about 8.3 to about 10.7 cm. in diameter) of gold suffused with pink coloration, `WEKjucistwe` bears significantly smaller flowers (about 7.0 to about 9.0 cm. in diameter) of yellow blushing pink coloration. The new variety bears very double flowers (about 54 to 146 petals), whereas the pollen parent bears flowers with significantly lesser petalage (about 45 to 65 petals)."...See MoreHoang Ton - Zone 9a
2 years agoOk, I take back what I said about the blooms being on the smaller size. It started out what seem to be a small bloom then it opened up big on day 2. The blooms are ~4 inches. What got my attention (other than the color) is that they seem to last pretty long. The bloom on the front right is on its 4th day and hasn't faded one bit. Jackson & Perkins does put that tidbit in its description about non fading blooms. We'll see how many more days it will stay looking nice like that. It's looking very promising so far.

2 years agoSorry I'm spamming everyone with this rose, it's just so pretty I had to do a retake on it. The color just pop against the green background. Flowers don't fade at all, blooms lasted 4 days then petals dropped on the 5th day. This is the best orange rose I have ever owned so far.
