Comments (3)Welcome to Garden Web! I see it is a patented David Austin rose. It is available at davidaustinroses.com for $19.95, and also at Heirloomroses.com for $16.95. The heirloomrose site stated that they are only mailing to zones 7 and up at this time of year...others will be mailed in the spring. She (Evelyn) is a real beauty.

Comments (7)I ordered my Evelyn (in remembrance of a favorite great aunt) from Roses Unlimited a couple years ago and was really pleased with the large, healthy plant they sent in a 1-gallon container. I'd definitely recommend them as a source. It was my first time ordering from them, and all of the roses I ordered took off like racehorses!...See MoreWhere can I find pine bark fines for 5:1:1 mix?
Comments (29)The main issue I see with raw pine bark is that it is pretty hydrophobic because of the high lignin content. Aged pine bark has much less of this problem since some of that lignin would have decomposed. Last year I filled a 55 gallon drum with the raw bark with a handful of high nitrogen fertilizer and left it outside. I have not used it yet but looks nicely aged - that is uniformly black instead of brown. Nitrogen binding (and decomposition) is a very slow process and requires proper microbes to be present. In containers with chemical fertilizer it is less of an issue. The fertilizer is immediately available to plants and is mostly consumed in a short period. Aged bark not only holds water better but also releases the fertilizer better. Peat does the same even better than bark but is much too fine to be used as the main ingredient....See MoreEvelyn rose surprise
Comments (32)Tututara Zone 7 Your "yellow" Evelyn is in its 3rd year, and most roses, even grafted should show its true scent by then. If it doesn't smell like Old rose and strong peaches as stated in David Austin catalog, then it's NOT Evelyn. There's a good chance that it's Charles Austin, which gets tall as grafted, and Charles Austin gives a sport called "yellow Charles Austin" in HMF. A decade ago when Princess Alexandra of Kent and Young Lycidas were hot new items. Folks posted pics. of both in the vase, and raved about how good they are as cut blooms. So I called David Austin and asked if they make good cut flowers, and the lady (with an English accent) told me NO. She told a lie to discourage me from buying items which are in high demand. Years later PAK was listed as good cut in David Austin catalog, and I bought Young Lycidas from Regan Nursery, and it was the best rose ever for the vase !! For that reason I never buy from David Austin for my entire life. Back in 2011 High Country Roses was very honest. I reported a wrong rose, and they sent me the right rose immediately. I was so impressed that I bought more from them. David Austin catalog is full of manipulations, such as Queen of Sweden as being good for the vase. Bought that as own-root and it shattered 1 day in the vase. Or David Austin's info. about Evelyn as having a few thorns. Evelyn has the largest thorns and many thorns. Evelyn is the most easy to root ever !! I gave many rootings to friends and they all raved about their 1st blooms being intensely fragrant (old rose and peaches). If your "yellow Evelyn" cannot root from cuttings, then it's Charles Austin since no nursery can root that, except for LongAgoRoses, but I could not buy it since it's too wimpy. Also no one rave about Charles Austin's scent, but Evelyn is known for its amazing Old rose and fresh peaches scent....See Morefig_insanity Z7b E TN
