Not really thornless - Pinkie, Cecile Brunner, Lavender Lassie
Comments (20)Kippy, no rose is as good going up a post or pole as it can be when planted where it can be spread out horizontally. Not that some can't be forced to do the job, but none will provide the foliage and flower performance and cover they would if trained horizontally. Unfortunately, when any is grown vertically up a post like that, you end up with bare wood, which gets thick and old with time, and little to no foliage or flowers until the grow spreads out on the upper portions of the structure. A fence or wall would be much more conducive to getting an explosion of flowers from any rose than a pole, but it can be done. The best idea is to wrap the canes around the post as you train them upward. At least by wrapping them around it, you're interrupting the sap flow, stimulating more basal breaks than you're likely to see from canes growing straight up. Kim...See MoreLavender Lassie
Comments (11)from the pickering site: http://www.pickeringnurseries.com/web_store.cgi?cod=19lav Blooms continuously - check Strong Fragrance -check Picture - check ( I will see if I get the stamens). The bush is about 6x6 and the lower stems are bare which might be the deer. Most of my OGR were purchased from Pickering and Hortico around 1987-1989. I did purchase a few bushes at Vintage Gardens in Sebastopol and the annual celebration of old roses in El Cerrito. When I was rose crazy, I planted roses anywhere that got some sun and where there was more shade, I planted Hybrid Musk. I had two large Monterey Pines that shaded the area. I got rid of them and the roses were happy If the mystery rose is Hybrid Musk, based on color it matches well with Lavender Lassie. I don't have black spot and only the HT have any fungus issues....See MoreLavender Lassie unrecognizable
Comments (1)Did you buy 'Lavender Lassie' budded/grafted onto Multiflora? If so, I'm thinking that the top growth died and what you see now is the Multiflora rootstock sending up shoots. :-) ~Christopher...See MoreWhen in rose season does Lavender Lassie begin flowering?
Comments (16)Very helpful; many thanks. It does sound like LLassie blooms more or less at main rose season. Of the roses listed by Lily and Sheila I only have Crepuscule, but that never struck me as being late, and none of the Austins that I have -though they are different varieties-are late either. Plus I see that the bustopher (great name!) is in z6,so if it opens in May in that area, it ought to be fine in my area. Sheila, how long does Albertine's flowering last? Photos of this rose are luscious, and it's widely offered here in Italy, but I have read that it is one of those ramblers whose flowering is quite brief,which is a thing that I find disappointing( Paul's Himalayan Musk is like that in my climate). And how about Russeliana? That one's been on my wish list for a long time......See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
