'Nother Silly Rose Story . . . .
Comments (60)reflected upon her wild ways. This really wasn't workin' out for her. She needed to stop MISS BEHAVIN' and being such a WILD CHILD -- well except for SPECIAL OCCASIONS anyway. Meanwhile INGRID had had a CHANGE OF HEART and decided that DR. HUEY wasn't such a bad guy after all. In the past he had alway been very kind to her. So after making a lovely BOUQUET of roses for THE DOCTOR, she rang his doorbell and shyly presented them to him. THE DOCTOR said, "INGRID, I'm really sorry about all the noise and in the future will try to tone it down." Then smiling a devastating handsome smile that made INGRID's socks roll up and down, he added, "this beautiful BOUQUET has quite frankly taken me by SURPRISE. Words can't say how HAPPY this makes.

Comments (52)Bellegallica, I'll have to report back later on Burlington and RVR's versions of Rose du Roi, since I just received the RVR version this spring. The canes and foliage do look different, but the RVR rose is so young, I can't evaluate it properly, yet. The one from Burlington repeated its bloom throughout the hottest parts of the summer (its first year) without any special pruning but did not sacrifice growth for bloom (I was too curious to remove buds). Christopher makes a good point about the other roses that are mixed up in the CdC mystery. Perhaps that original feeble, flesh colored rose has been replaced by the more attractive and stronger-growing Hybrid Perpetuals. But maybe it still exists, being sold under the names of those very roses that are being sold as CdC ...and each other. This does sound like a mystery worthy of some space in the garden. But I don't think I'll order Heirlooms 8ft tall rose that resembles Jacques Cartier and doesn't rebloom... I'll just go visit Carol, and see it in her garden!...See More2005 AEN Supplement Rose List, November 2005
