DA roses mildew performance in my garden
Comments (14)Wonderful thread. With the caveat that these are still young roses, here's my toll at this time: 1) Queen of Sweden - not afflicted 2) Molineux - none last year, too much this year. I sprayed with Bayers Natria -- not much help. Not affecting blooms, happily. 3) Munstead Wood -- just started showing a little today. Hopefully not a big problem. 4) Carding Mill -- not afflicted 5) Alnwick Rose -- not afflicted 6) Darcey Bussell - showing a bit of a problem today for the first time. 7) Falstaff -- not afflicted, but not blooming either. The only variety that hasn't bloomed yet. 8) Tamora - not afflicted. Blooming her little head off. Both my OGRs have mildew: Marie Van Houtte -- ongoing problem but controllable. Zepherine -- terrible. Horrible. May not last. Mildew has also been a problem on my Double Delight, for what that's worth, and to a far lesser extent (but still there) on my Gold Medals.None on Granada, Mr. Lincoln, Don Juan and my various mystery roses. Let's see what others have to say!...See MoreAnyone grow DA Mary Magdalene? Is Boscobel available on own root
Comments (2)Mustb, I have grown one plant of MM in two locations in Northern CA, and I am very fond of it. It is a good grower and a great bloomer. (Perhaps I should also say that I am not a DA fan in general.) I cannot really address the fading question because I always cut the blooms for vases. (Consider, though, that it fades to white, which is usually acceptable.) It is a fine vase rose, and I value in particular the darker colored buds. The flower colors, pink with yellow highlights, mix well with yellows, pinks, and whites. (I like it with Gruss an Aachen.) It does have that intense anise/licorice scent, which is officially called myrrh, I believe, and which I happen really to like. Larry...See MoreWhat other roses are there that are D.A. look alikes?
Comments (102)@Diane Brakefield I was reading through some of the older comments, and I just have a question on your Colette rose. Do you recommend it as a climber? Is it pretty free blooming for you or is it rather stingy? I’m just looking for a really pretty climber with nice blooms and likes to flower. I had my heart set on Eden, but after reading some comments on it tending to be stingy in colder climates, I might lower it from the coveted #1 position on my most-wanted list hahaha (if any other cold climate folks have personal favorites they’d recommend, lemme know!)...See MoreBelle Story- DA rose-Hortico
Comments (18)Love this rose! Thrilled my one potted one made it through "Snowmageddon" where temps got to 1. I put it in the greenhouse for warmth at night and leaves are coming out on it. If I remember correctly, it sets cuttings well and I hope to take as many as I can. This is a lovely rose, one of my favorite old David Austins. Dont understand why some can be sold in the US and some not. Maybe Palatine will offer it one day in their Austin sale....See MoreBenT (NorCal 9B Sunset 14)
