Experimenting with Own-root Mister Lincoln...
Comments (48)Yes I am ordering 4 actually as I already had 3 plants to order from them before this discussion, then I am adding the one free rose and one mystery rose, so in total 6 roses, with shipping everything comes to $27.50 per rose if you only count the 4 roses I actually wanted, it becomes $18.33 per rose if you count the two freebies as well. Truth is, the free rose, Royal William, is a rose I have had an eye on ordering for a while, so it works out quite well....See MoreMister Lincoln & Stuff
Comments (15)Lucky you to get such fine Mr. Lincoln roses. I used to have all 3 famous brothers from the Charles Mallerin X Chrysler Imperial cross. Now only Papa Meilland and Oklahoma are left. Mr Lincoln never liked our heat and when I got flowers, they were not deep red. But sometimes in the fall I got the kind of flowers he is famous for. Finally, I replaced with Firefighter which does not mind blooming in heat as much. I love seeing a great Mr. Lincoln rose picture though. Where he's happy, he's great. Do you have Chrysler Imperial? The fragrance reminds me very much of Mr. Lincoln who likely inherited it from C I. Mr Lincoln has those wonderful long buds!...See MoreSaving a Mister Lincoln
Comments (3)If they are suckers from below the graft they are best removed by removing surrounding dirt and pulling them away as opposed to cutting off. I've had good luck when the suckers were young (less than 12"). I'm trying to rescue a friend's 'Sterling Silver' from suckers. Dug it out and the suckers have been there so long (3-6 years?) that it's very difficult to find where they originated. It's like they have merged with the roots. I'm coming to believe it's not worth the effort....See MoreMister Lincoln bloom
