Rose petals or rose hips?
Comments (1)Only you can know whether you will have more use for petals or hips. Hips are used for tea, are you more likely to use the sunburn remedy or drink tea? You can have both. As the flowers fade, gently collect the petals by knocking them from the flower, leaving the flower stem intact. The hips will form if you do not cut the flower but simply pick the petals....See MoreRose Petal Beads
Comments (3)When I was a little girl (way back in the 19 hundred and 50's) I remember my mom and aunts talking about rosaries made of rose petal beads made by local nuns in SE WI, the only nuns I remember were Benadictine order. Don't really remember if it was them or not. Have never looked it up. I remember that made quite an impression on me that someone would sit and roll those rose petals till they formed a bead.(all those beads, wow). Then they sold the rosaries in their little gift shop They were dark red beads and I thought they would smell a lot like roses, but I remember being dissapointed that they did not. I'm glad your earrings smell nice around you, that would be a treat this time of year.., Donna...See MoreOld Rose with single white petals
Comments (13)It is R. multiflora. In addition to the identifiers above, multiflora blooms seldom keep their yellow anthers for more than a day, and yours shows the browning of the anthers. You wrote"I was told to get rid of it as it was invasive and yet we have lived here for 30 years and it only grows in a few places where I have allowed it to grow". That's not exactly the whole story All those lovely red hips are major fodder for birds and those birds don't have gizzards so the seeds pass through undigested. They may not be deposited on your property; but they are out there, for miles around you. The real hidden 'gotcha' it that the seeds remain viable in the soil for at least twenty years. You do have Rose Rosette in areas upwind of New York state, and multiflora can get sick with RRD out in the country and not be noticed. But from there it does spread into gardens with desirable roses Your decision. Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Rosette e-book...See MoreHoles all ready for my new 3 from Rose Petal Nursery!
Comments (4)I seem to remember Sherri in Florida also got rid of her Rosette Delizy. Mine is growing really well and is about five feet tall and blooming even now in the heat. It makes me wonder whether they prefer a drier environment. The humidity is 15% today which sounds a lot better than 100%. I truly don't know how you can stand it. I hope your Duquesa does well, it's such a beautiful rose. Good luck with all of them! Ingrid...See MoreFrozeBudd_z3/4
