@Tack your super-gorgeous pictures of Dames de Chenonceau remind me of Eustacia Vye quite a lot- something about the apricot centre amid the pink ruffled loveliness.
@Alfie_ it would have been about June 12th it was ordered, so just before or around the first flush time as Marlorena says should guarantee buds or lovely blooms.
Having fun with very poor project
management re installation of solar panels on my roof... enjoyed all
your beautiful pictures. Prospect of blooms soon cheers me up... not
so this morning's frost. Current status of my roses.
Always delightful, a new basal.
Very frustrated that my bare root order
from Tuincentrum Lottum was not shipped last week as promised.
Picture them dieing on my doorstep while I am on vacation. On a
brighter side, some flowers from last season.
Looks jolly cold there... it reminds me I had 'Prince Jardinier' last Spring in a pot and it was doing so well, when I got a hard late frost and it just withered and died on me.. not long after I took this photo..
I'd like to try again, but I could say that about a hundred others... [no, they didn't all die on me..]..
@Alfie_, I only buy potted rose if I cant get that variety cheaper as bare root. For me it is more about cost than which would establish better.
Yeh the price difference is significant for sure. If you compare a winter bare root in the summer to a potted summer rose are they the same in terms of establishment? i.e. is it a pure cost difference or are they at different levels of establishment.
I just realised Prince Jardinier = Alexandre Pouchkine, a rose I'd been keeping an eye out for after seeing it on Facebook.🤦🏻♀️ Sounds a bit capricious though!
Yay to new basals, @ElbFee. 🍾 have noticed them on Dee-Lish, Arthur Bell, Gabriel Oak, Perennial Blue and Emily Bronte so far. I can't spot any pattern to which ones have them and which don't.
I think a lot of potted roses are bareroots put in pots that season, at least I’ve had them before where they’ve arrived with strict instructions not to plant before june as the root structure was still growing!
Winter spell yesterday ,back to freezing and today we have 16 degrees… new basals spotted here on GdF , Ab Fab, Maria Lisa ( although I have the impression she is fighting against something ) Are you happy with bouquet Parfait? @ElbFee And do you keep that Florence as a climber or more as a large shrub?
regarding potted roses, I feel like the assortment is changing in the GC . In the past it was the classic HT and Iceberg but noticing now roses like Minerva , Carmen , Julia Child of course also Austin ( for really expensive prices)
Planted this weekend the 4 ab fab in the garden of my parents in law. The roots were massive but a little bit cross with my father in law. I was obliged to use the same planting holes , I could convince him to refresh the soil . So cross our fingers they will survive …I will give him some micro fungi so he can still work some in this weekend.
Clematis opening up …almost 4 weeks later then last year.

Is that a typical representation of the plant as a whole?
