...nice blooms Nollie, I do love Gruss an Teplitz.. mine has a way to go yet...
@MrsDeeGarden I think climbing Iceberg would go well with your yellow and purple... but there are so many to choose from...
@edhelka I admit, I'm a little stumped now with this rose... I have an idea that it's now 'Climbing Souvenir de la Malmaison'.. a rose I've grown before but a long time ago.. ...but I'd like to wait to see the blooms fully open and more mature on your rose... those are not quite open and as I said before, early blooms are not always that typical... I had expected it to be mostly thornless but those thorns have made me think again...
@Marlorena Yes, it's a bit puzzling. But after going through tens of photos on helpmefind, I still think it is the best guess. I don't think it is something too unusual, the previous owner was buying from a local garden centre and from major websites (I know because all catalogues in his name are still being delivered to this address) and most other plants in the garden are fairly common varieties. But he was certainly a collector, he wanted to have a bit of everything, every type of plant, every style and every colour We will see. I have retrained it anyway, the canes were cooperating well, the only tricky part was the clematis intertwined with it.
I have one more question after trying to ID. How does it work with leaves - 7 vs 5 on one stalk? It looks like this rose has usually 7 but not consistently.
Nollie and B3: Lovely roses, beautiful foliage. Here it is a mix of an aphid damage and wind damage. My roses in the front garden lost half of their foliage.
@edhelka I think we shall find out eventually.. sounds like a nice garden you've taken over there... sorry about losing some foliage on your roses.. my neighbour lost half his bushes of 'Comte de Chambord' due to the wind the other day.. totally decapitated..
The 5 or 7 leaflet business isn't all that helpful for i.d. purposes.. often you get 3 or 5 leaves on same bush, or 5 then 7... it's important to leave as much foliage on a rose and not to prune out all the twiggy bits with leaves, because the more leaves they have, the more blooms they are capable of producing...
The shape and texture of the foliage is useful for i.d. purposes though..
@edhelka. I rub the aphids off mine and I do it every day. They tend to congregate on the buds and those are easy to rub off. You also get them on leaves that haven't quite opened. These leaves you stroke very gently as if you're closing the leaf again. This squashes the aphids, but you need to be really gentle so that you don't damage the leaves. If I see magotty, caterpillars (usually sawfly) eating a leaf, I pull it off and throw it away.
@Marlorena I think I bought that rose from "Roses of Yesterday and Today" must have been at least 15 yrs. ago. It is a repeat bloomer. It is quite possible that my notes are off and this rose is actually in another part of the garden (which has also lost it's tag.)After googling it, Florence Delattre looks be a lighter, warmer pink? Things are just leafing out now, (photo from last year) so once things start blooming I'll take some shots of both and we can go from there.
Hi @Nollie. I have a very short growing season. Some snow in the winter, beautiful but cool springs, very hot summers and warm fall days with cool nights. I even had a hard frost last night, but the roses were ok, though their new growth is just coming out. My garden is at the edge of a big valley, surrounded by mountains. Nearest town is 3 miles away with a population of 154 people.
