@edhelka ... I can't see it's anything else really... next time have a look and see if the stipules are fringed, as they are on Nollie's plant... The Fairy has this feature..
@Nollie Yes, it does. I would even say it goes slightly darker in heat. It is pure neutral red in early summer and later it goes darker, to scarlet red. The old blooms in autumn can be pinkish-red (at least they were last year, not yet this year).
'Plaisanterie' doesn't mind the heat and the blooms go darker as they age, thanks to the genes from 'Mutabilis'.
Dr Jamain is smelling divine, a bit glared out here. It's like ten differently behaving roses through the season, hitting every part of the pink-purple-red colour range at different points.
I love the contrast of the D. Rip City and the inherited cream rose, the depths and the shadows. One is talking Greek, the other talking Danish.
Still thinking about the country parsons. Those who have it, do you like it? I loved it in @celcius_kkw's photo but looked very messy in @edhelka's photo.
I have a problem with the Fairy roses I planted in autumn 2019 (I think) in that I planted 2 together (1 pink, 1 white) in the same hole. Can't remember why now. Anyway, big mistake in that they're in the middle of my main border and its far more vigorous than I envisaged with new canes about 3-4ft long in all directions. It's swamping all the perennials underneath and nearby. including a newish peony. The thorns are vicious too so it's difficult to weed underneath. Obviously wrong plant in the wrong place. My perception was that it was a small delicate rose, I couldn't have read the label properly! I quite like it though , it's covered in blooms, so I'm wondering whether I could somehow prop it up or train it as a standard next winter. If I dig it up, then I won't be able to plant another rose in the same place. Any ideas? (it wasn't expensive).
@newbie77 Interesting with the Country Parson, isn't it, given that it is the same plant and the angle isn't too different. Here it is again but from its nicer side.
