Clementina Carbonieri
Comments (10)I have this one as a young band from Vintage. It is over-wintering in a pot, and will go into the garden in spring. The colors of this rose in pictures are breathtaking, which is why I ordered it. I can hardly wait to smell its fragrance this coming season! In two weeks it will be time to prune here, maybe I can start getting excited about the garden again! Allison...See MoreOlga-just how much shade Clementina Carbonieri
Comments (2)My CC was in full sun, but unfortunately it died to the ground last winter and never recovered. No experience with this rose other then full sun. It was not too much burn for me here. I think in zones 6/7 Teas need as much sun as possible. They are southern roses and need heat to be happy. Olga...See More'Clementina Carbonieri' Please tell me about..
Comments (19)I'm just south of Jeri in the coastal belt (inland from Venice Beach) and I've also had 3 unsuccessful attempts with baby ownroot C.C. It's actually quite chilly in my garden even tho it's southern California. We get bouts of damp moldy conditions & ocean breezes thruout the year. I have experienced a lot of failures with very young Teas & Chinas due to this. I've also realized how difficult windy conditions are for growing plants, particularly roses. But, this year I discovered a trick - by accident, of course. I have a little side porch that faces south with a very low small concrete landing and a low wall. It's so hot & dry against this wall that almost nothing grows here except for lavendar & germander. Herbs enjoy growing in a large pot on the concrete stoop. I recently stuck small ownroot VIntage bands in this pot. The bands arrived just as we were going out of town so I stuck them quickly in the pot so they didn't die while we were gone, and of course, I forgot about them until a month or so later, when I realized that all these tiny roses had taken off superquick, faster than any spot in my garden probably because of the heat & sun reflecting off the walls, and the shelter from the ocean breeze. So this area is now my ideal nursery setup for bands, and now, I'm having very good luck with several roses that have repeatedly failed here. As for CC, I finally got the 4th one going by putting it in a pot on this stoop -- it's an absolutely beautiful tea: dramatic dark foiage and lovely muted orangey-salmon flowers. I'm going to plant it out this spring....See MoreClementina Carbonieri help?
Comments (10)Hm.... Buford, I'm in Tuscany - equivalent to zone 9 I believe. It's VERY humid although that part of the garden is quite exposed and windy much of the time. My CC is squished in a too-small flowerbed with some other roses and small shrubs (a huge rosemary and a slow-growing myrtle, oregano and other such things). I have to decide to move it or another rose because they're planted too closely. I guess the sensible thing would be to move CC... even though she looks great with the rosemary! I'm definitely not giving up on her yet. As catspa said, it's so healthy, fragrant, and such an early bloomer for me. It was in flower with the tulips this year! But after that glorious beginning it just looks awful all the time! I sometimes have to deadhead even before the buds open. Crispy-orange-pink is NOT attractive hanging on a bush. Buford, you mentioned it not being hydrated enough.... could that be it? I thought the crisping could only be related to sun-scorching..... Is it possible it has to do with it not getting enough water?? Thanks all for your comments..... It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one with this problem!...See Moreberrypiez6b
