Gravetye Beauty is the only one on your list that I have and it, along with Princess Dianna and Etoile Rose, can be mildew magnets in my garden. Using a Neem based fungicide has helped with the issue this summer however. Gravetye Beauty in my garden is more of a burgundy colored clematis to my eyes anyway. For reddish colored clematis that do well in my garden, I would recommend either Madame Julia Correvon, Kermesina or even Avant Garde. If you can get a good red clone of the texensis I have, I would also recommend it.

Jeri J, Thank you for bringing to my attention, a correction in the October 2005 “AEN” supplementary “Rose” List. Should a correction be noted on ARS or my part, the correction will be addressed in a following post. The November post will reflect a correction, removing the name Bevoniensis from the list. As stated in the header, the primary purpose of the “Supplement Rose List” is to compliment the 2005 AEN, by address Corrections / Additions / Deletions a continuing process. Devoniensis is listed in the 2005 AEN, indicating eligibility for Dowager Queen (the reason it was originally included); therefore its removal from the list is in order. Happy Holidays.
