Ohio Event - Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance- Open Day
Comments (15)Most likely, I'll be the one in the purple polo shirt that says "Historic Rose Garden, Sacramento, California." That should make me fairly easy to spot, I bet! I haven't done much for Kelly and the Wooster garden, but I'd love to do more! There was talk of trying to put together a team to help identify the roses, and I'd like to make that happen. There was also talk of a regional HRF symposium there, and I'd certainly help if I could. I visit Ohio three or four times a year because my mother is still on the farm there, north of Dayton, so it's not like I'm making a separate trip. I'm retired, so have quite a bit of available time, although it seems that I'm volunteering somewhere just about as much (or more) than I used to work!

Comments (1)I went for the first time last weekend and it is a garden not to be missed! If you want to learn what a particular rose looks like when fully mature, here's the place to go. You can see it in comparison to so many others too. How might it look in your yard? What does that foliage look like? What is the ultimate shape of the plant? As Eurodesert is closing, and roses are being sold all the time, there just won't be an opportunity again to see and be able to purchase such a variety of very rare roses. Some never seen in North America before. So put on a pair of comfortable walking shoes and plan to spend the day absorbing rose history and adding something very special to your own garden. Here is a link that might be useful: Cliff's High Desert Garden...See MoreMy most beautiful bloom EVER!!!! Falstaff!

Comments (12)Stealth Bomber has always done well here. In fact, it looks like it's going to have one of the best bud counts in my garden this year - at least it's showing the best branching so far.. The color is dazzling. I've just had it so long (10 years or more), that some of my excitement for it has worn off.. I've sold divisions of it and traded with it more than five times, so you know it's multiplied fast in the past 10 years. I have highly recommended it over the years, and It's the same thing with Black Falcon Ritual. I bought it the year after it was introduced. It is a wonderful plant and seems to grow well everywhere. No Boys Allowed has that gorgeous bloom, but I've always been disappointed at the bud count on that one and it's reluctance to set pods. It does clump up fast though. Maybe it will do better for you. Let me know if you ever get more than 9 buds per scape. I keep it because of the pretty face and for hybridizing efforts. Grape Twizzler, on the other hand, is one that has always gotten more than the registered bud count and is taller than the registered height here.. I've sung its praises for more than a dozen years, so I'm so glad you have it in your garden now. Debra...See Moreorganic_kitten
