@edhelka ..there is no need to deadhead once blooming roses if you want the hips, your rose will still produce normal growth regardless... it doesn't interfere with that.. ...deadheading is really all about interfering with the rose's reproduction system, as it tells the rose it has to produce more blooms and hips, and therefore seeds, to replace those lost.... with once bloomers it doesn't have to bother, so will just produce new shoots...
..and with repeat blooming roses like rugosa types, they will produce more blooms as well as hips... even the newish DA rose Tottering by Gently, does not need deadheading, although I do it anyway.... but it will continue to produce vigorous flowering shoots even with the hips developing..

Love the intense pink of your Empereur Charles IV @edhelka. Roses do behave so differently according to sun/age/weather. My new PAoK is, unusually for me, a much cooler pink than I expected, with lilac tones. It only gets a few hours of morning sun, then dappled shade. I’m sure when I move it to a sunnier spot it will be a warmer pink - it’s currently in the spot I have now earmarked for Mme. Isaac Pereire.

This is my favourite rose in the garden but unfortunately I’ve lost the label so any help with identifying would be much appreciated. Smells gorgeous and as in the photo, buds start off a creamy pink but turn to pale lemon when in full bloom.
When buying old roses (well any rose thinking about it) is there any advantage to be gained waiting and buying them in bare root form as opposed to now in container form, as there are a number of old roses I like I could buy now in a pot.
Think your query got lost, pete, as the pages moved on. The main advantage to buying potted roses now, in my view, is instant gratification! The roots have had time to develop in the pot and you often receive then with buds on, so you will see some blooms this year, as opposed to waiting for next year if you bought a bare root in autumn/winter. I recently bought the PAoK I mentioned earlier as a potted rose and it’s already given me half a dozen lovely blooms and more to come. Bare root are cheaper, of course, if you can wait.

I usually get both colder and warmer pink from her, depending on the time of the year. But she has that yellow base of petals so typical for many DAs which gives some warmth to her. Quite often the effect is warm centres and cold/lilac edges.
..some lovely roses upthread on last few pages, from various members today... beautifully photographed too... Bradley, thanks for your rose, looking good, nice dark colour too. Edhelka.. unusual rose, I've not seen that one before.. Omori / Nollie... fabulous roses as usual, and labrador of course... shame about Prince's Trust though.. it happens.. Daniel Rutherford... Daniel, love your Country Parson... I'm going to talk about that in a moment.. Valerie... your 2 roses are beautiful, lovely reds... Allium.. Racine and Mary.. such beauties.. I wish I knew the name of your rose Mary..
..hope I haven't missed anybody... a couple hours away and a whole load of catching up..
I'll post this here as it's relevant rather than on my Notes thread.. ...if anyone wants to know what Rose Replant Disease looks like, here is an example from my garden... I have many examples as my garden is continually 'blessed' with it, due to too many roses coming and going over the years... I have at least 6 suffering currently.. some I have relocated to pots, others are still in situ.. I hope Daniel doesn't mind, but I've copied and pasted one of his roses here below..
..the beautiful 'The Country Parson'... very good indeed for a first year Austin.. they must be getting their roses to deliver sooner these days.. lots of buds, and good growth..
...here's mine today, suffering rose replant.. it's about 8 inches tall, little new growth and is just saying to me ''I don't like it here, I can't grow here at the moment''.. no buds, no vigour.. I might as well remove it and pot it up.. I would then get good growth and probably some blooms by July time... this is classic rose replant disease as it's been in the ground almost 12 weeks...
