Thank you for Robert and Connie
Comments (20)Hi I am posting the pictures and I hope I do this right. I just wish I had taken more pictures at Connie's, but it started to rain. I know others took pictures so I hope more will post as I totaly forgot to take pictures of her fantastic front yard rose beds.

Comments (4)Hi folks Thanks for your collective problem solving so far! Paul, I appreciate the definitive word about RWR, and I'm looking forward to starting a thread of "I love Barden Roses" as soon as my plants get big enough to show the impressive blooms and hardiness they clearly have the potential to do. Your roses have at least 90% healthy survival in my yard, which tops even my favorite Delbard, Kordes, and Buck roses. Keep up the good work! As for the RV mystery, we're still not sure, but as KSGreenman and I have the same rose and I have 4 more of them, I'm inclined to think it's something they are marketing. I don't think they'd produce that many bands to distribute of something they're testing. Catsrose, the color in my photo is pretty true to what it looks like in my yard, that "red" i.e. hot pink edge with a high contrast center, so it's closest to how you describe your Robin Hood (thanks for the contrasting info on all 3). On HMF, there are variations of all these candidate roses so the RV site photo may not look exactly like our plants, but I'm still leaning toward Robin Hood unless I am convinced otherwise. Other opinions are welcome! Cynthia...See Morefor Jeri- Lady Roberts?
Comments (27)Here is a picture of the back of the small bloom today - I am now completely convinced that it is Lady Roberts - supposed to be a darker color sport of Anna Olivier, which is exactly what this looks like. I am looking forward to its variable blooms in the future - my AO sometimes puts out blooms that look nothing like the typical ones - tea roses keep us on our toes! I am interested in the "flower sport" issue - this bloom does not appear to have as many petals (65!) as the first few - I will be counting them when it has blown. Jeri, if you see this can you let me know how many petals your LR has, or does that vary a lot? Jackie...See MoreTea rose Anna Olivier or/aka Lady Roberts
Comments (13)debn, I really would like you to get your 'Anna Olivier' because the roses from a Santa Cruz bush, of an Anna Olivier that were brought to the Old Rose Celbration were full of petals, a marvelous blend of deep peach, apricot-yellow and rich pink roses, the most fragrant Tea rose I've ever smelled, of fruit and rose. I encourage you to ask for permission to take cuttings, and from my own experience, I've learned to tell a little about myself so that the supervisor will be assured I will not be hacking a rosebush. I've been given permission to take rose cuttings by the supervisors of 3 out of 3 public rose gardens, that I asked, after writing to them and telling them that I've grown hundreds of different roses over the years and that I'm interested in propagating and conserving Old Roses. -I'd treat their rosebushes with the utmost care and respect. -I promise to take no more than 3 cuttings per square yard of plant. This is far less than is removed when most roses are pruned, and the little growth I would take, will typically grow back by summmer. -I promise to take cuttings from only non-patented roses. I ask the supervisor to sign the paper so I can show it to the groundskeeper or whoever is in charge on site at the garden. signed___________________________________________ all three supervisors at the 3 gardens, let me take as many cuttings as I wished and one man told me I could return year after year to take cuttings. I've propagated more than 80 rosebushes from those cuttings and given many new plants away. Best wishes Luxrosa...See Moreseasiderooftop
