can anyone identify this rose?
Comments (9)Not sure I killed it, but the canes are dead to the ground (scaped and they are brown and dead), but the roots are white and moist and look alive. I can't tell if it's grafted or own root. It isn't About Face I dont think--my rose is quite large, clearly a hybrid tea and not a floribunda. I don't think it's the other suggestions here either as the petals are very straight--they don't curl back as they open and the suggestions do. Wonder if I will ever be able to replace!!...See MoreRose variety in American Beauty film
Comments (3)hee hee... reminds me of when I was watching the show on PBS "Mystery" when they were doing the Cadfael series. One of the episodes is called "the Rose Rent", which is quite a good one. Oh but the horror of it when I realized that the rose bush was a VERY fake one... plastic and fabric all. Sigh. Once spotted it is hard to ignore, and plastic never looks good in a medieval context. Forgive my ignorance, since I am more an antique rose person than a HT person, but isn't the rose in American Beauty supposed to be the rose "American Beauty"?...See MoreWhat variety of Rose might survive in Mid Coast Maine?
Comments (2)Yes, there are roses out there that will survive well below -20 but I don`t know what kind of humidity you have in the summer. That can often create problems with powdery mildew and blackspot. The Canadian rose series Explorer, Parkland and Canadian Artists groups are pretty tough for the most part. Any shrub roses(Hansa for example are also very tough - I grew it in the Northwest Territories -40 below and colder and it did fine) I would think that Quadra, John Cabot, Felix LeClerc, Henry Kelsey, Ramblin` Red or William Baffin could work for you. Some of these are REALLY thorny but vigorous. Hope that helps....See MoreID for a yellow rose bush
Comments (1)Maybe Sunsprite. I found mine opened really fast too and the petal count and color look about right....See Moredara_gardener-Vancouver Island, Z8
