New 2022/2023 Proven Winners Roses
I usually don’t get excited about rose releases by large plant distributors because it has been the overall trend that they release roses that are shapeless and smell like plastic. However, this year Proven Winners is releasing a ”Reminiscent” and ”Rise Up” rose line that seems to break that mold and I’m actually looking forward to them.
“Reminiscent™ roses represent a new day for rose lovers, combining the classic beauty and fragrance of old-fashioned roses with modern-day performance. They were developed in Serbia by a breeding team that is devoted to bringing out the best in color, fragrance, petal count, and flower power.” There is Reminiscent Pink, Reminiscent Coral, and Reminiscent Crema.
They are also releasing several new Chris Warner roses. Three are new fragrant short climber - Rise Up Lilac Days, Rise Up Amberness, and Rise Up Ringo. Another r. persica variety called Ringo Double Pink.
It appears they’re available to order online for 2022 and should be in garden centers in 2023.

Comments (41)Sorry for the delay. Here is the response from Emily Wilson who is head rosarian up there. "We honestly do not do a thing for rose midge. It has not been troublesome enough to need to do anything about. Unfortunately, they have a few generations throughout a growing season. But some suggestions would be prune out and destroy infested plant parts, and removal of old mulch in the spring (then of course reapplying new) to eliminate overwintering pupae. These two things would hopefully lower populations significantly."...See MoreA new source of vintage David Austin Roses
Comments (139)Hi BirdsLovesSoCalCoast, I live in Stanislaus County in Central California, less than a quarter of a mile from the Stanislaus River. Our water and soil are probably neutral to slightly alkaline. We grow own-root roses, rose grafted onto Dr. Huey, and roses grafted onto Rosa multiflora. They ALL do very well here. The multiflora roses typically have thinner canes when you receive them, but they have monster root systems, which can be 18 inches long or longer. Those grafted on to Dr. Huey typically have much thicker canes and roots, but the roots are typically trimmed. This difference in the size of roots and canes between these 2 types of grafted roses, is due to the fact that the grafted multiflora roses from Canada are budded in the fall of year one and harvested in the fall of year two: so they only spend one year in the field. Typically those grafted on to Dr. Huey rootstock in the US, spend 2 years in the field. If I had to choose between the 3 types of plants, I would choose own root, as they will never produce rootstock suckers; also, I have never had a problem with Rose Mosaic Virus on an own-root plant that I have purchased. Of course, if you root a plant from a virused plant, it will also be virused. Most rose varieties that I have grown, do fine on their own roots in our area But there are exceptions, such as Gingersnap and a now obscure Austin rose, Ellen. My second choice would be those grafted onto Rosa multiflora, as they tend to be very vigorous and tend to produce less rootstock sucker than Dr. Huey-grafted plants. Also, I have never received a plant grafted onto R. multiflora that had RMV. I think that many of the growers graft the scion on to a R. multiflora seedling plants, which would make it highly unlikely to be infected with virus. My last choice would be Dr. Huey, especially from companies that are selling them as bagged plants at places like drugstores and big box stores. Besides the sucker problem, these cheaper roses are sometimes produced by grafting onto rootstock contaminated with RMV. But if you buy plants from more reputable companies such as Weeks and Edmunds roses, you are more likely to get a healthy plant. Still, most of my Dr. Huey plants do grow quite well without problems....See More2022 David Austin Roses
Comments (10)I was assuming that we'd have a lot fewer "new" roses this year, esp. from David Austin, given all the pandemic trouble both in England and in Texas (not to mention the flooding). I agree that the newest DAs are lovely -- though my Gabriel Oak and Eustacia Vye were so tiny compared with previous DA purchases. They looked about the size of a one-gallon from Heirloom. And the blooms on both of them have been tiny so far. But my James L. Austin? What a winner! If only he were more fragrant, he'd be perfect. Here he is even after very weird weather, unusually mugginess for summer, and in the midst of a drought and deer attack:...See MoreGet ready for 2023 dress shopping…
Comments (194)In my mind, black is for a more formal wedding. I like that first dress you show but I don't think the next one looks too small, in fact I think it shows your waist off more. Unless it pulls across the hips and it doesn't appear to. So I might order it in a smaller size. But, depending on time of day and what color the wedding party will wear, I'm still on the fence. For a spring wedding I am seeing a pretty color instead of black. I also think as we get older, black can be a bit harsh against the face. Hmmm strappy silver shoes would look good with that dress though!! Do you know when other son's wedding is (month?)...See More

2 months agoI’ve orde from Great Garden Plsnts before and they were decent. One quart is small but this rose seems vigorous and should grow up fairly quickly. It has a strong citrus and damask fragrance and the color is a nice lilac changing to lilac pink. I liked it so much I purchased two more from PW.
Here is a picture of it when it first arrived:

2 months ago@Moses, Western PA., zone 5/6, USA -I haven’t had many blooms yet since Reminiscent Pink is new and what can be considered spring weather has just arrived (sort of), the blooms are about 3 1/2”. Here is the only pic I have of it so far - I feel with maturity and better weather the blooms will be more full and increase some in size.
@forever_a_newbie_VA8 - Awesome! I know, I want to try all of these out.Dave4bWY

last monthHi I am wondering how are your new roses doing? My 2 plants bought as quart are still small, barely reaching 1 foot but a bit wider, but are growing well. Riseup lilac days now has a tiny bud. The reminiscent pink is a bit smaller but still healthy.

last monthlast modified: last month& FRIENDS,
Reading about Reminiscent Crema , it says at Great Garden Plants, ”their delightful fragrance will waft through your garden all summer long, even well into fall, …easy care, disease resistant, vigorous, and low maintanance… reward you with continous blooms,“ They say NO dead heading needed. Although, I always dead-head my easy care shrubs.
Reminiscent Pink, & other Reminiscents , It says,”Packed …with flower power and….fragrance…” So I gather the 3 roses will be fabulously fragrant! And it says ”zone 4-9…3 or 3.5 feet tall bushes.” Great winter hardy roses and nice acrub sizes.
The Reminiscent all-3 series, Great Garden Plants says are,” similar to English roses…packed with petals, high petal count, rich color…”
I’m excited to see the big blooms as they mature!
Proven Winners say,”Heat tolerant, long blooming….” blooms!!!
I notice as all my general rose’s blooms mature into bigger blooms and the first day the blooms open on a rose it will have it’s wonderful fragrance. Since my new roses are only a foot tall I don’t expect a fabulous bloom w/ fragrance, yet. I am looking forward to the potent fragrance & continuous blooms-all summer long, too!!!!!!!!

last monthlast modified: last monthComing back from 10 days vacation and my rise up lilac days is blooming with 8 flowers in total. they are kind of small, 1 to 1.5 inch cross. They have pleasant spicy scent although still light. Also i caught covid in the trip so that might affect my smell. the colors are just what I am wishing for from pink to lilac. And they are petal packed.
There are a lot of buds showing up so I expect it to be a fluent bloomer.
My reminiscent pink has not budded yet

12 days agolast modified: 12 days agoReminiscent Pink is blooming now. Odd thing the flowers did not have any scent the first couple days but now I can smell the sweet damask fragrance. Not very strong but I am hopeful it will get better. I like the color and form too and its reasonably good size
