Request: Recommendations for roses from Roses Unlimited
Comments (13)Hello fellow rose friends, Thank you for your recommendations. I had about 80+ roses in 2010. Unfortunately, I lost about 1/2 of them due to a winter freeze. At that time, I was overseas, and my DH did not realize that the roses needed to be sheltered. I was heartbroken. I am disabled due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and a myriad of health issues. Although roses do not alleviate chronic pain, they give me immense joy and peace. I know this may sound a bit strange, but roses instill hope in me to combat my health problems. charleney: I agree that shipping charges are astronomical for West Coast buyers. USPS/UPS keep raising the prices each year which negatively affects small businesses and their customers. Sigh! I live in Redmond. Puyallup is quite a distance from here. With soaring gas prices, the commute to and fro to Puyallup may even out the shipping charges (a bit of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean). Perhaps, I'll wait a bit longer for RU to drop the sale prices; although the downside of waiting is that most of prized roses are sold out and the selection is limited. Please continue to provide your recommendations, folks. I'll compile a list. Thank you. Reem Here is a link that might be useful: Roses Unlimited...See MoreYour favs from Roses Unlimited :0)
Comments (23)I don't know how to answer that question, because I've always received such excellent plants from RU. I love their collection - so many things to try. Pat talked me into Quietness. In its first season its grown like a weed and bloomed almost continuously. I'm really impressed. Pale pink and fragrant. I buy Bucks from RU - several new ones every year. The Buck roses have come to be one of the backbones of my garden. I bought Golden Unicorn this year also - what georgeous blooms. Pat got me started with Francis Dubreuill - I have two of them now. I bought Burgendy Iceberg there this year - all the good things about Iceberg plus the incredible color--iut truely is a deep burgendy color. Gruss an Aachen and Pink Gruss an Aachen. The English Miss. To be honest, I bet at least 60% of my roses come from RU. I wish I could start at the front of their catalogue and buy my way all the way to the last page....See MoreYour favorite fragrant rose?
Comments (40)The rose with the strongest fragrance in my garden is definitely climbing Crimson Glory. I'm not keen on red roses usually, but I spotted this one growing up a tree in the yard of an empty cottage near our downtown that was slated to be torn down. I like climbers, so I braved the "Keep Out" signs and the overgrown yard to get over to it. The fragrance almost knocked me over, and the dark velvety blooms are gorgeous. It is now in my garden (yes, the cottage was torn down, and that area is now a parking lot) growing around a rose folly in the center of a flower bed, so many of the roses are right at nose level. Of course, part of it has escaped the rose folly, and had grown up a Sombreuil that is growing next to it on a large arch, along with a dark purple clematis whose name I forget. The color combination in the Spring when all three are blooming is amazing. I have two very large bushes of Le Vesuve, which I love. I find the fragrance nice but not strong, and I do prefer the very strong classic "rose" fragrance of Crimson Glory. Jackie...See MoreYour most fragrant roses today
Comments (37)A few more: Fragrant Cloud - more orange than the photo shows. I SO love this rose. The fragrance is strong, and a little odd - took some getting used to. But I love it now, and I'm nuts over this rose. Bella'roma: - this rose is hard to photograph, and she's not a fast repeat bloomer. But her fragrance is hands down, one of my favorites in my garden. Every bloom she gives me is a gift. Young Lycidas - Lisa, he does WONDERFULLY in dry heat! Neptune: A newer rose for me, and this bloom round is one of the most fragrant I've had from her. Lovely fragrance! More of Stainless Steel. I am in awe of the bloom form of this rose (and fragrance too!) Chrysler Imperial - one bloom at a time right now, but each blooms smells like heaven. Tiffany - I threatened her, and she gave me a super fragrant bloom Ok, so my Dusty isn't really fragrant (smells like old ranch dog). But she IS next to a bloom of Fragrant Cloud, and is my best garden companion....See Moreflowersaremusic z5 Eastern WA
