Most fragrant red hybrid tea
Comments (87)Finally back to this thread I started eight years ago. Olde Romeo looks awesome, and also unavailable in the US. I have missed you all and gardening. Last year I was on assignment in San Diego, a temporary arrangement that ended on October 30th. Back at the abbey now, and for any of you who remember me, I wanted to tell you that we are moving into the new place starting on January 11-16...the end of a long journey, and the beginning of a new one. Will there be roses at the new place? Yes. Ambrose and the seminarians transplanted over 100 of the current abbey collection to the new place. I was in San Diego, and I have no idea how they transplanted some of those roses. There was a tea (Rosette Delizy) that was about 10x10 that they basically made a bare root!! It's sprouting tons of shoots at the new location. I am constantly amazed at how tough roses are. When the new garden grows in, I'll post photos for you all.

Comments (26)OK, remember, you ASKED for it. Don't blame me when you're out of control like me :). SOUTH AFRICA..I know it's a flori, but it blooms nonstop. Ruffled, gorgeous yellow blooms that cover the bush in long sprays all summer It was in the back garden next to Dainty Bess. Great for cutting; lasts in the vase. PINK PEACE...huge, vivid pink blooms. RED INTUITION...this was on your list, remember? Order from Steve Singer @ Wisconsin Roses. CAMILLE PISARRO...a yellow creamy stripey. Love the coloration. Maybe add 'OUT OF AFRICA' for your MIL's garden since she wanted an orange? And pair it with some Tiki Torch coneflowers...you'd be glowing! That's a lot of orange. Enough enabling....I'm out of here. We have a date in the spring for you to come back to dig up some hostas, remember? -terry...See MoreName the most fragrant Tea-Noisettes
Comments (56)Most fragrant Tea-Noisettes: Top T-N for both type of scent and strength of scent:Duchesse d'Auerstadt A vendor was selling a row of huge plants (budded onto root stock) of Duchess d. A. at the Old Rose Celebration a few years ago and all the large plants were in full bloom and I was kicking myself for having ran out of cash for it was the most fragrant of any Tea-Noisette I'd ever smelled at vintage gardens or at s.j. h. rose garden... The apricot colored blooms with a touch of pink were large and luscious and scented of stone fruit, and Musk rose, heady and seductive... at that moment I wondered why so many people favor Reve d'Or in comparison. FFFF, out of five. ___________ Marachal Niel, almost as fragrant, as the Duchesse, I bought my M.N. from Rogue Valley. My favorite yellow rose, and if it were the only yellow rose in the world I might be content, I adore it so much. FFF and 1/2 out of five. on some enchanting and rare afternoons it's as strongly scented as FFFF. ____________ Celine Forestier. It's 2016 and the plant is c. seven years old, it came from Rogue Valley and it blooms fully in spring, however rebloom in summer and autumn is only c. 25- 30 percent of the spring flush. It has a really lovely refined fragrance that is dependable, under all conditions and more than moderate in strength. If only I could find a well repeating clone. FFF and 1/2 out of five. __________________ Mme. Alfred Carriere, from hortico.com c. 7 years ago, moderate fragrance, dependably fragrant. FFF __________________ Reve d'Or sweet rose scent overlaid with Musk Rose. FF and 1/2 out of five. from Rogue Valley roses. _____________________ I can only rarely detect any scent from the Lamarque that I bought from A.R.E., it has a slight lemon scent scent with a meadow finish... and it's foliage is not nearly as pretty as the one at Morcom Amphitheare of Roses labeled California 'Lamarque' .The blooms are very beautiful but it's not the rose I so fiercely desired. FF out of five. ______________ Crepescule from vintagegardens.com variable fragrance strength under different conditions. F to FF and 1/2 out of five. __________________________________ I never bought Jaune Desprez because it smells strongly of bananas to me, a nice scent but not what I'm looking for in a rose. That is a darling photo of Bouquet d'Or. Luxrosa...See MoreFragrant Chinas and small Teas for zone 7
Comments (9)Josh, thank you for the suggestion. It's interesting that your 'Cramoisi Supeurieur' is very fragrant. It's often confused with 'Louis Philippe', and depending on the nursery which carries both, one is often claimed to be very fragrant and the other not. I got my 'Louis Philippe' from Rogue Valley Roses, who put their LP as the fragrant one. I understand that other nurseries do the reverse. I'm still not 100% positive that I actually got LP, being as my rose hasn't had a fully double bloom yet, but it has been progressing in that direction since the first bloom. We'll see what it does in Spring, but I might just pester you to root your fragrant red China for me. Lori, thank you for the heads-up. I planted some Chinas and Teas in the ground this year, so perhaps it'd be wise for me to hold-off on getting more until after the peak of Winter has passed here, and see how they look. I do have space for overwintering protection of planters which need it, so I'll keep that in mind. I do plan on heading down to Florida after grad school, but my interest in having some fragrant Chinas and small Teas was in playing with hybridizing -- so it's more than just having them now to bring with me later. I want to try making new Noisettes, but broadening the gene pool by using Chinas other than 'Old Blush', and Teas other than 'Parks Yellow', and see what happens. I'd also like to see how 'Reverend Seidel' works in place of its parent, 'Rosa moschata' -- just a little hobby project. As far as blackspot, it's hard to tell with what I planted so far. BS definitely did make a run through the yard this Summer, but most of what got hit was still in pots and kind of crammed together, waiting to be planted in the ground. I think that along the Atlantic, BS is just inevitable, and as long as the roses can shake it off (as they appear to have done here after a few weeks when left to their own devices), I'm not going to resort to fungicides. About as far as I'll go is neem oil in a Cornell mix spray, or lye soap for the hotter months. :-) ~Christopher...See MoreDDinSB (Z10b Coastal CA)
