Strong Heart rose from Lowe's

alameda/zone 8/East Texas

I bought a pretty red cabbage like rose from Lowe's today. Named Strong Heart. I looked for information on the computer but could find nothing. There was also a pretty pink rose called Peaceful something or other....never heard of either of these. I think the red is going to be more of a lower growing rose that blooms alot - not a hybrid tea and dont think blooms will be as big as a floribunda nor small as a Drift. Quite a pretty thing and think I am going to like it! Hope someone knows something about it!

Maybe its one of those Austin undercover roses lol..I remember when some people would buy a rose at the big box stores with a wrong tag and then dug in the pot and find an Austin tag! I got a few that way.

Hansa is another Rugosa that folks like, nice reddish purple color. Roses Unlimited has a sale $8 gallon-size own-root last June....delivered to your house with blooms! They will have that sale soon, either 2nd week or 3rd week of June. Kordes Roses are very disease-resistant..... Roses Unlimited sale is sold out fast ... they won't take orders through e-mails ... phone calls only, and checks sent through mail only. It's the rose vendor with the most customer satisfaction, 25 years in business. If you google, "the scoop on ..... "name of nursery", that will give you people's reviews of any nursery in the country, be it bulbs, perennials, or roses. Best to call Roses Unlimited when the sale starts this month, and ask for the type of roses you want, and they will recommend, 1/2 off own-roots, which are much healthier than grafted on Dr. Huey. See below link for Roses Unlimited' vast selection: Here is a link that might be useful: Roses Unlimited own-root roses

That is indeed strange that another person found a way to post as you!!! Red Leonardo sent me scurrying to HMF. How big does it get for you in VA? I've been searching for a heart-be-still red, other than my lovely Mr. Lincoln, and this may be it. Francois Rabelais showed up as bright orange-red in our nursery! Phooey. L D Braithwaite, Red Eden, Rouge Royal, The Squire and William Shakespeare 2000 are ones I haven't seen in person and would like to. Comments from all are welcome - true color, growth size or disease problems.

Thank you, Jackie & Ingrid! Jackie - I'm in Western Australia and we have "Mediterranean weather" with hot, dry summers (temps up into the 40's C / 100s F sometimes and very low humidity) and very mild, sunny winters. I only have a tiny garden (seriously tiny) and have pretty much filled it up with David Austins (!) but I am still learning about roses and will definitely look into teas and chinas as you recommended. I was really specifically wondering about Pat Austin as she's the only one I'm worried about - since everyone says she really needs shade - and it's hard for me to give it to her, given the position she's in. Ingrid - I'm sure you're right! I have to just try things myself in my own garden and see. I guess I'm being an impatient newbie. :-) Also, I'm worried about doing things wrong so I keep trying to make sure I'm not making a terrible mistake so I can try to correct things early. But I suppose maybe what I need to learn is that there is no specific "right" or "wrong" in gardening...!

True red, highly fragrant, low thorn rose that stays small?
Q
Comments (46)
Thank you, Stephanie. Mine has some thorns but not a lot. It's classified as a Bourbon some places...to me it looks like it could have tea or China in it. The stems are pretty and green, with only the oldest stems brown and woody. It does have a strong fragrance, sweet and peppery. I don't remember where I got it but I think it was from Almost Heaven Roses or from Jackie Day who was partners with Lisa at Countryside Roses. I know it wasn't from ARE. Here it is a little deeper color: see above. I have a second plant of Maggie in a different spot and it is not that big...it is maybe 5' tall and 4' wide. For fragrant red hybrid teas I think Oklahoma is my favorite. Blooms are huge, a beautiful dark red, rebloom is good and I don't think it's that prone to blackspot. Here's Griff's Red, a very healthy Buck. I find it moderately fragrant but some don't. Roses Unlimited might have that one..they have a big selection of Bucks.

In small letters on the tag it says Altman Plants. They are in Troup, Tx near me. I looked at their website but no mention of any roses - so maybe more information will come out on this one later on. Leaves look very shiny and healthy and there are lots of buds. Hoping to find more information on it.........

It looks like they carry the TrueBloom roses at the CA location, at least. Maybe theyre growing their rose side. .

I saw Strong Heart at my Lowes today too! Also saw True Love. Both were gorgeous. And I was self controlled enough to let them there.

I took a photo at my Lowes.

Apparently it's a new CS King collection.

They clearly don't like our climate, edges are fried!

I bought one today on the clearance rack 50% off so I paid about $12. Looks really healthy and says hardiness zones 5B to 10

3' x 3' full sun. Worth a try for $12

Sometimes when a brand new rose comes out there is not a whole lot of information avaliable. But if it has been out for a while and there is no information on it, be suspicious of the quality of the rose. you might find more information on a site called Help Me aidentify. pick plants then roses. Then type in the name of your rose.

Cam, the correct name of the website is Help Me Find.
