I love Julie Andrews the actress. However, this rose is in my ok category.

On the other hand, if you look at a rose with similar name and a different spelling, Julie Andrieu, I think it is one of the most beauriful roses https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.77591.0&tab=1

@bayarea_girl_z10a_ca julie Andrieu looks very pretty . i would definetly buy her if she is available .i read in another discussion that Julie Andrews was in the shovel prune list and some like you have said its just ok no idea why its being marketed as most beautiful rose of the century when most reviews say otherwise.

rainbow_2007 - Hybrid Musks typically bloom in flushes and typically bloom more heavily in the cooler weather. That said you can (i) deadhead - a giant pain as you might imagine; and (ii) feed heavily - that will get you more frequent flushes - weather cooperating. The intake is really more important than anything else. They need to have the energy to grow new canes/stems on which to bloom. The bushes always look good - even now. They have thousands of small red hips on them in sprays that match the last bloom (which I did not deadhead). I've been using the hips with evergeens in the house all winter. The problem I have with Ballarina and Marjorie Fair is that they overun their bounds inside that particular garden. We just planted three Hybrid Musks around a big stump and will allow them to make a big display rather than trying for control. I'd try to find someone in this zone who grows Cornelia to see if it will behave reasonably politely on a porch railing. Just don't plant Red Cascade! Thanks all for the words of praise. These pictures were taken in May at the beginning of the second season of gardening in NC. About half of the roses came with me from TN, about half I have purchased since. There is an east garden that is mixed colors; two smaller round gardens in mixed colors and the front of the house has 6 red climbers and approximately 6 red bushes. The property border is home to some monsters and once bloomers as well as a lot of other shrubs. I love perennials as well, just trying to get the roses in the ground and companion plants in place. This property has full southern exposure across the front, a shade garden in back and a small side yard on the west side that I guess can be classified as part sun part shade. I have a lot to learn as there is considerable difference in gardening in NC even though the zone is the same as I was in TN. I have ambitions in the direction of having a tea in the rose gardens this spring. Trying to schedule that when the roses are close to peak is a dance with the weather and means I can only give short notice, but I'm going to give it a shot.

What terrific pics, pianoman, hoovb and sachow! Intriguing! I wonder if my baby will ever look like that? And I wonder if it will be flexible enough to tie horizontally? I didn't realize it would get that tall and as it is in front of my front deck, I don't want it to get so tall either. I have Illusion planted in front of mine, and am still planning to get a cream or apricot colored rose to go next to Illusion. Hmmm...difficult to get the spacing right. Brandy

Anyone who will help me sharing their pictures?

I must say that Julie Andrews was the only variety out of the 25 new roses I grew last year that I classified into the ’definitely dumpster’ category, and she got the fateful shovel at the end of the season. The blooms were not generous, she opened too fast, faded badly, the promised fragrance was largely missing. Usually I’ll give a rose a few years to improve, but in this case I thought even if she improved markedly in garden performance, the faults (fading like soiled kleenex, opening fast and pancake flat, mostly scentless) would still be too much.

As for the ’Grande Rose du Siecle’ award she won, I see several other modern roses have won it too, so there must be other roses those Lyonnaise liked this century, not just Julie. Still, I’m baffled that Julie won anything at all, just like I was when Marisa Tomei took home an Oscar. Perhaps all the other roses had been accidentally doused with Round-Up, leaving Julie the sole survivor to win. I don’t know and can only imagine.

The actress is wonderful and I’d love to grow her namesake, but just not this one.
