Silver Lining new rose for 2022
Just wanted to share my experience on this new rose for 2022, Silver Lining, a floribunda from Weeks (different than the *other* Silver Lining by Dickson). There's not a lot of info out there on it yet.
It was a bagged rose at my local nursery; I usually do not buy roses unless I've done research on them, but my son was with me and we bought it on a whim because we both like lilac tones. =)
Very healthy and began forming 11 buds within 3 weeks of planting it in a pot. I was very surprised by how quickly it formed buds.
It bloomed, very pretty silvery/lilac, and looked as if it were glowing from a distance. It lasted through two days in 100 degree heat and looked fine! The next blooms were more lilac, and due to that heat wave, the other buds opened more quickly, but still looked formed and did not lose petals after a few days on the bush.
I really love the greenish yellow at the base. Little scent. I had zero expectations for it and I am pleasantly surprised by its health and ability to take the heat without fading to white!
Here it is in stages:
After about 4 days the first blooms were fully open
The rest of the blooms were more lilac

Comments (23)Personally I love this rose and bought it as a bareroot shrub this season . It bloomed a lot for me and I didn’t have trouble with fading or anything negative to report. I did learn that tree roses , as interesting as they are , aren’t quite for me. I had kept them in pots , so that made them about eye level 5.5ft tall when new . Then as the rose grows , I’d not be able to see the top of the plant , and I just don’t love tree roses like I thought I would . Also they seem to require way more water too . The only one I still have is my Roald Dahl standard bc it stays mannerly for me and my bolero bc it was a gift . When I look at my old pics I do kinda miss them ! Actually when I think about it more , my bolero is shorter free trunk and that would be better for me if I bought them again like that . all in all absolutly worth having ! i cant report on black spot tho...See MoreNew 2022/2023 Proven Winners Roses
Comments (94)Spring Meadow Nursery doesn’t note the fragrance, only the taste (light pear). I wish they would as I’m sure others may want to grow for more than eating. https://springmeadownursery.com/plantfinder/flavorette-peard-rosa-63450 That’s incredible that both Reminiscent Pink and Rise Up Lilac Days have been so vigorous for you. Rise Up Lilac Days put on some great growth for me this year but then deer reduced it significantly at one point. Hopefully the fragrance of Reminiscent Pink improves for both of us. I think if ”scent” is included in the name, it had better deliver fragrance. I’m glad Rise Up Lilac Days has a wonderful fragrance at least....See More2022-2024 MY FAVORITE OLD GARDEN ROSES
Comments (403)SoCalGardenNut, Beautiful La Reine! Yay, 5 blooms! She has tge most girgeous blooms & fragrance! Don’t forget to smell her fab fragrance! That’s so exciting that you have a Mme Isaac Pereire! I draw designs of whete ai wish to plant my rosrs so I can look at the design and know which rose is planted thete when I first plant. I keep plastic labels on them, too, if they have them. Eventually I memorize them. Your La Reine doubds very promusibg with 5 blooms! She has really beautiful blooms! I live La Reine & Isaac Pereire! Berry, A 4ft La Reine is wonderful! I am really thinking Zi want to move mine out of it’s pot! Next spring! My La Reine had about 15 blooms first flush. However a ”larger La Reine” will probably have twice as many blooms!...See MoreRugosa Rose Share 2022
Comments (62)I had no idea. I generally go into Manhattan several times a week, but in recent years, especially since COVID, just to Union Square Greenmarket and back. Not very far away from the Greenmarket is this fantastic little community garden now called LaGuardia Corner Garden (it used to be further down the block): Photographer, Joe O'Connell,who lives nearby, used to post frequently on this forum as "LaBrea." He is an active member, apparently, and has photographed it beautifully. http://www.laguardiacornergarden.org/wp/...See More
