Had to order again at High Country Gardens
Comments (3)Kay, you have definately put in more new beds or enlarged beds both this fall and spring than I have. It must seem like I had done so much because I am the Queen of moving things around. Which is what I was doing last year. I do have that one section that used to be veggie garden which is my major project this spring. It is going to be daylilies, lilies, TB Iris, Siberian Iris and lots of spring bulbs. I have Joe Pie Weeds here for years. I love them because they grow so tall. In the summer when they flower they are so big people think they are shrubs, not perennials. I do love High Country Gardens as they have plants that one can't find anywhere else....See MoreOrdered from High Country Roses, thoughts, opinions, pics? Lol
Comments (21)I agree with what Jackie said. But of course I have to add my own 2¢ worth. Lots of plants can sucker, not just roses. My tree-form-trained crape myrtle sent up suckers from the root for its first 10 years or so, and still tries now and then. There are 4 redwood trees near our house and I cut root suckers off those All.The.Time. In my personal experience, the worst offenders in the rose world are the gallicas and the rugosas, also pretty much any kind of species rose. Damasks and albas follow after that. Rose de Rescht will sucker after it is well established. So will Grandmother's Hat, though so far it stays within a foot or two of the base. The difference between own-root suckering and grafted root suckering is that if you allow a grafted plant to sucker from the rootstock, it will eventually kill the scion rose and the rootstock will take over. With own root suckering you just get more of the same rose. Sometimes more than you want. I am having a similar problem with one of my oranges, 'Midnight', a Valencia-type orange. It must be less vigorous than my other oranges because it is the only one that is doing this. I've had to cut off rootstock suckers several years in a row, and boy, that rootstock is nasty to handle. Two inch thorns all over! Rosefolly...See MoreHigh Country Roses Sale!!!!
Comments (56)Joey, I have also considered Audrey Hepburn. I think I picked her up and put her down 3 or 4 times this spring. But I was concerned she wouldn't be cane hardy so eventually put her down. Kimberly, This is my 1 yr old Dick Koster today, as in 5 min. ago when I took the photo. The bush is still tiny but the one's at HCR were bigger. We increased the water to a number of our roses this year because they didn't have much growth. This is one of them that we may have been starving. I was grumbling to myself that I needed to pick more big roses after seeing Audrey and the Baroness, and then while out to take the Dick Koster photo, I saw I did have an enormous bloom on my Pretty Lady Rose. It is the only bloom on the bush right now so that must account for it's size. I'm really looking forward to my Parade Day explosion in a couple of days. The top is thick with buds. My Playboy continues to delight. Hard to get a good photo because it is so sparkly that it tricks the camera. It is a really good continual bloomer for me. You probably can't see it but there are loads of buds in between all those flowers....See MoreYolande d’Aragon
Comments (10)In Portland, both own root and grafted YdA are strong growers. Palatine’s roses generally burst out of the gate for me! If you get grafted, you can always try rooting cuttings later. I‘ve had success with rooting a layered YdA in a garden bed. I imagine that’s NOT a practical solution for nurseries, though. Or maybe Burlington still has YdA in stock? Burling is sending me a couple of hard-to-find goodies this spring. I just have to say that YdA’s fragrance is to die for! Carol...See Moreoursteelers 8B PNW
