Duchesse de Brabant or Jacques Cartier?
Comments (11)Jacques Cartier & D de Brabant both do well here in coastal southern CA (I'm south of Jeri near Venice Beach). My garden is a bit too coastal for the Duchesse at times. Jacque Cartier is best in spring when it's cooler. It slows down in the hotter later portio of summer. But I still get several bloom cycles over 10 months. It is the most heat tolerant Portland or Hybrid Perpetual kind of rose I've grown. I would think that Teas would do pretty well for you given your location as long as they don't mildew. My garden isn't quite hot enough for them except in the fall....See MoreRose de Rescht?
Comments (20)I sort of had a Rose de Rescht a couple of years ago. I lived in an apartment and so did not have a garden (in fact, I am now retired and gardening for the first time in my life). But I had a friend there who had an arrangement with the apartment house management whereby she designed and did the work on various garden spaces around the place. I have had a love of OGRs for years - that is, I went to the places where they grew and read books and sighed over pictures of them - so I asked my friend if she would like to grow one. I said I would buy it if she would grow it. She was all for it, so we picked one out from a book I had - I basically deferred to her in the choosing, as I figured that she knew what the problems were, i.e., space, growing conditions, etc. So in the end, we got Rose de Rescht. We got it from an "own-root" mail order nursery, and I must say it grew really well. It did the suckering others have mentioned the second year in the ground. I loved the blossoms, but was less happy with the shape - it was rather rigidly vertical, and most of the old roses I had seen had a more spreading, graceful shape. I see, by the way, that some of the other posters do have a more graceful look to their bushes. It also didn't seem to have much fragrance, and it's supposed to have quite a bit - although I didn't mind about that, because the allure of these old roses for me is really visual. It never seemed to get BS, or much of anything else, but of course we are in inland California, where the climate in the summer is dry and hot. I have a fond recollection of RdR, because it was such a Dream Realized for me. But if I were to get a rose now, I would not get that one. I lean more toward something like Souvenir de la Malmaison (actually, I LOVE Gloire de Dijon, but will never in my life have the scope for it)....See MoreMy Jacques Cartier always looks crappy
Comments (8)Mine does not flop, but I prune it fairly hard, back to about 2.5 ft. or so, every winter, and take "more" rather than "less" each time I deadhead. This is a not-so-great photo I just took, but we are having an ultra-bright sunlight kind of day here and it's tough getting a decent exposure at the moment -- I will try to take another photo later, when the rose is all in shade. The bush is currently about 5.5 ft. tall and stays about this tidy and upright all season. Of course, this is zone 9b and waaaay different than your climates.... It is more or less a continuous bloomer here, with regular flushes and always a scattered flower or two....See MoreAdvice please.. telling Jacques Cartier from Compte de Chambord
Comments (12)How old are they? I have 3 CDC's & 1 JC purchased as Marchesa Boccella that are 4 yrs old. The JC is shaded by a beautyberry on one side & a hazelnut tree on the other, it is marvellous for being in so much shade, flowers are perhaps smaller than they should be but still a lovely rose. The CDC's tested my patience, small & straggly for 3yrs in an excellent location, they are now so much better. I took the 2 weakest & replanted them in one hole & they loved it. The flowers are heavenly. We have fairly high blackspot pressure but neither variety seems to be troubled by it. They do not appreciate companion plants at least not in my garden, I have also read this from several different sources, the CDCs that is. Jane...See MoreRelated Professionals
