Let's see photos of your volunteer roses or roses from seeds
Comments (52)I'm sure some of our found roses are self seedlings which volunteered somewhere. Rose seeds have long been available commercially, and particularly Chinas and "Fairy Roses" were distributed as seeds. R. Xanthina was brought to the US by Meyer (of Meyer Lemon fame) as seeds and raised once here. He found both single and double forms from those seeds. Slater's Crimson China, among others, was sent out as seed. It is very successful as a self seeder, too. Any wonder why there are so many variations, all identified as Slater's Crimson China? If "grandma" planted some seeds, or some came up in her garden, of course only the most vigorous, healthiest would have been selected to maintain. Those would likely have been the ones relatives passed around and even planted in the family plots. Often, selfs resemble the parents quite closely. Not exactly, but close enough for someone to look at them and proclaim they are this, or that variety. Grow them side by side and you'll see differences. Micro sports also occur all the time, altering basic traits just enough to change the rose so it's no longer the original. You might find a less, or more, double mutation. Take a look at Awakening and New Dawn. They COULD be mistaken for the same rose if you didn't know one or the other well enough, but they aren't the SAME rose.

Comments (64)Librarian, yes it is very dry here. I also thought roses would never ball here but last year I lost a bunch of Mme. Ernest Calvat's spring blooms to balling, and it's not exactly a generous rose as it is so I was pretty bummed. My garden only has overhead watering, I guess MEC must have been super susceptible to it because even with always getting wet from overhead, my roses have never had a balling issue before....See MoreAnyone get your David Austin Bare Root Roses Yet?
Comments (456)Echo, Dying , yes! I’m glad you received a refund. The big week freeze in March was very much a surprise to many roses. It could have caused that roses later decline. Or another issue. After that March big nation wide-freeze week, at first my roses looked ok; but 1-2 months later leaves came out brown , dry, and some canes finally turned brown/black. Last week I trimmed off a long black cane which was obvious frost damage, that I saw in April end & beginning of May, but took almost 2 months to turn dark. Growers won’t see the damage after a big frost right away, it comes out much later as rose tries to grow. As it warmed up to 65-70F most of time I finally saw the damage as it grew....See MoreGarden Roses LLC
Comments (123)Many people wait for a long time to receive only partial refunds from Garden Roses LLC. See below: Rose Vendor Feedback | Facebook I paid for my roses in Oct, then paid for a second order in Nov. 2023. Eight people informed in forum and Facebook groups that they got money back immediately from their credit card with disputed charges either online or call in. My credit card dispute window is closed on my orders, so I could not dispute the charge online. I asked Tess for a refund on March 28. I got Garden Roses' email on April 5 that my orders are cancelled & refund being initiated. I don't want to wait forever for partial refund. So on Monday April 8, I called my credit card company, telling them my pre-orders were in Oct & Nov, but GR failed to deliver roses. My credit card said they will contact Garden Roses. The next day, Tues. April 9, my credit card company returned me the money in full (deposited in my checking account)....See Morejessicaga_8a
