on that colour theme of cerise pink.. just happened to come across 'Wild Cedric'.. wondering if you have you grown them? Apparently a strong old rose fragrance and good for flowering.. but have not heard much about it here... DA is still selling it despite stopping Munstead and Lady EH...
@cooldoc ... I think you mean 'Wild Edric'... I have heard that it has a strong fragrance but also when DA send out this rose, it is often sent with just the one cane, but it's quite normal for this rose, but some people have been disappointed at seeing just a single stick. We are used to seeing at least 2 and preferably 3 or more..
..interesting rose, as it's a Rugosa hybrid crossed with an old Bourbon, then crossed again with an English Rose...
Not one I've got around to trying but I'd certainly like to.. I've seen it grown en masse at RHS Wisley..
oops, sorry for the typo.. there was a pic of it being planted as a hedge with flowers from top to bottom.. Being a Rugosa, I suspect that the disease resistance would not be bad plus the strong old rose fragrance... added to my waiting list for now..
How was the thickness of canes on your new roses? medium to small sized I would say.. even Harlow Carr was sent to me as a twiggy growth..
My bare root 'Chandos Beauty' from TW had only four very thin canes about 3" long which I was surprised at with a HT rose. The root system was much better however so I'm hoping it will be okay.
'Ghislaine de
Feligonde' … [Turbat, France 1916].. Rambler ['Goldfinch' x
seedling]..
This is the only
rambler I grow now and I couldn't be without it. It repeat flowers
constantly until late. Even as a first season rose from bare root,
it continues to produce clusters of flowers, but it really comes into
its own from year 3.. can be hard pruned to keep within bounds, as
it can get very large if left to its own devices..
The colour varies from
apricot buds, opening yellow, to apricot, to white, and sometimes
pink..
''I have seen it in many places; the fact is that it behaves differently and these roses in particular change colour depending on the terrain, the temperature, the state of its flowering, the season, even the time of day'' noted a French writer in 1947..
Musky scent, good
foliage and very few thorns, just some irritating tiny prickles on
the flowering stalks..
A truly wonderful
rambling rose, that can also be used as a large shrub, Standard or
climber, but I would find this difficult to contain on an arch..
..early morning, flowers can be pink.. ...then change colour... same cluster later that day..
Gosh. I have one now in at the front. I CANNOT wait! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I know the rose is a whole different ball game, but what might the comparisons with Buff Beauty? I am considering clothing a back fence in one or the other... Many thanks.
@Fire I haven't grown Buff Beauty so I cannot compare... on the Roses thread a week or so ago member Alchemist posted a nice picture of this huge rose in his garden... It's more often seen as a large shrub but capable of being trained in different ways. Perhaps it has a better scent?..
