Is growing Moss roses in Florida a pipe dream?
Comments (31)Treasure Trail THRIVES HERE!!!I have one in a large pot on Fortuniana, also a smaller one in a pot own root. I will post a picture of from this evening... I lost my phones usb cord, so sorry for the webcam pic. One of my Favorite roses! Just had to walk 10 feet outside to drag it inside. Mel Hulse,I tried twice before it lived. Never has amounted to much here. Lady Moss and Condoleezza do alright here not worth writing home about.Better grafted. Fa's Spotted moss also grows in my yard, not doing the best. But, with the cold December it is filling out.Some black spot on it.Not grafted. Fakir's Delight is an octopus here. VERY thorny like many mosses, close to 10 feet spread I am guessing. Almost ALL of the old moss roses have tried have not lived here grafted or not. Warm and Fuzzy grows here Nicely. Clean. I DO NOT SPRAY! I will say that almost all of my Ralph Moore moss minis have to be replaced like clockwork and really are not worth growing here own root.Grafted ones are better, but not even close to happy in most cases, a few exceptions. I do it for the pollen. I would not encourage most mini mosses in Florida and only a good handful of moderns. I have tried about 40 - 50 types total I am guessing. Kim, I think I will have to try Unconditional Love anyone mention it on RHA? Regards, Andrew Grover St Pete Fl...See MoreRequest rose ID (no pics)
Comments (4)Ingrid, I forgot to put 'Mme. Hardy' on the "roses it can't be" list. If nothing else, MH is a tall growing rose, as well as different in bud. Actually, I suspect there aren't that many candidates. Gallicas are mostly pink-red-purple-lilac hues; there aren't many pale ones. And this rose doesn't look have a hybridized look about it, so I can exclude Bourbons, Hybrid Perpetuals and certainly anything of predominantly oriental blood. It's not an Alba (tall and upright, smooth canes, thorns sparse and strong, blueish or grayish foliage) or a moss rose. It might possibly be a Centifolia or a Damask, though Centifolias tend to be lanky and nastily thorny, while this rose doesn't have the narrow tubular receptacle or the long fringed sepals that characterize most of the Damasks I'm acquainted with. So the field is narrower than you might think, or at least so it seems to me. I wouldn't have put the question if I thought it had an impossibly broad range of likely answers. labrea, Was that the site in a language you didn't know that made you want to make an order? I finally found out that it was Finnish (one of the few non-Indo-European languages of Europe, and nastily incomprehensible to just about everyone who's not a Finn). It's spectacular! I wanted all those Gallicas too! Melissa...See MoreMy found rose
Comments (40)Interesting update! I had stated above that my rose didn't change color in the fall. Surprise, it does! Previously I had looked at a pic from last October which is our peak leaf season and my rose had green leaves at the time. This is what it looks like today, decidedly colorful, while every other rose in my garden is still quite green. Belmont, if you're reading, you had asked for a piece of this rose and sent me a nice message, but I'm pretty sure GW isn't allowing me to respond. If you (or anyone else) would like me to share, pls send a message that includes a regular email address so we can correspond off GW's system....See MoreTrue Story! I think I found a "lost" or "unreleased" Buck rose!
Comments (22)Kim, today I read your entire article on HMF "I am NOT an expert" but I have to disagree, you really are!! After reading up on Renae I'm convinced that's what this rose is like you said, except it doesn't seem to have a strong desire to climb. Of course that's just for me, in my climate with my horticultural practices. Southern Louisiana is a very specific climate to grow in. I do think it's a great place for me to carry out my lifelong breeding goals since if a seedling can survive Louisiana's black spot infested humidity and heat it'll be off to a good start! Thanks for the good luck Judith! Also to anyone interested and curious, I have ripening hips on a couple of roses with this rose, 'Renae' as the pollen parent: a few of (Smooth Ballerina x Renae) and a lot of (Thomas Affleck x Renae). I bet those seedlings will be smooth as silk! I can't wait to one day share my creations with everyone!...See More- last month
