hello! I do have quite a few roses so I am keen to keep abreast of this new thread but i usually look away and there are 25 more pages Love seeing the pics.
I was wondering if anyone could offer an insight into the habit, performance etc of any of the following:
Thanks everyone for your useful advise. It not as well established as yours @owd potter but clearly has roots and new growth. I have started to put it outside now as the days are warm and sunny and I think I will keep it potted for at least another year just to be on the safe side. Thanks again.
oh and has anyone bought from the Fragrant Rose company? Tess has sold out on the DA website and I did want to add it this year, as I have a sunny bit of fence crying out for it. FR have some they say...
@pandakoalagirl49lS9c8QR_ .. I'll be highlighting 'Tottering by Gently' on my Rose a Day thread tomorrow, but mine is on an obelisk, about 6 feet tall and flowers all season.. very healthy rose, with large single flowers..
..'Commandant Beaurepaire' is a large, rangy rose, quite thorny, lots of tiny prickles, it needs controlling... it has a lovey sweet scent though and is one of those unusual roses of that period in that it has those pink stripes, rather like 'Ferdinand Pichard' but more refined I think.
'Bonica' as a Standard.. this is a photo from Peter Beales rose garden, where it's rather crowded out by other plants, and needed deadheading, but it has a graceful habit..
Thank you very much as always, Marlorena. You sre so generous with your knowledge. This site is so lucky to have you.🌸 My husband has today assembled me two more obelisks and I haven't decided what to grow up them, and I can't wait to see your TBG tomorrow.
^oh gosh, thanks so much.. I look forward to seeing those obelisks with roses..
@pandakoalagirl49lS9c8QR_ I've just noticed your other question... Fragrant Rose Co. are the same as Style Roses of Lincolnshire, just trading under a different name. Many of us here use this rose nursery and I don't think any of us have been disappointed.. they provide top quality roses.. order with confidence..
@Marlorena Marlorena, could you tell me what is the best way to tackle 3-4 stems on my Chianti which have gone a bit mad. They've shot up to about 6ft and are whippy affairs. Should I prune them down to match the other more normal length stems. Cheers.
@peteS You should peg them down, or use stakes to tie the canes and stabilise them, so they produce shoots all down the stems, they will provide you with lots of blooms this summer... prune after flowering..
Zugenie will have to do this too with his 'Variegata di Bologna' in time.. Nice roses!
