My pot-pet red Hybrid Teas
Comments (5)OMG, Christopher! Look at all those red HT roses!! Wonderful pics. Thank you. I love your red roses with purple clematis. (My two favorite colors.) I have yet to acquire Chateau de Clos Vougeot but REALLY want to get one from RVR after I make room in my driveway pot garden, and I would love to grow another Guinee and Don Juan someday. Obviously, I completely grok your dark red rose mania. I currently have Mr. Lincoln, Black Magic, Black Bacarra, Deep Secret, Velvet Fragrance, Nigrette, Barcelona, Black Gold, Dusky Maiden, and Red Pinocchio. A couple of these are total pains, but I pamper them anyway. Lucky little buggers! Carol...See MoreHelp growing both old roses and hybrid teas
Comments (1)Best asked in the main Roses Forum, but a little more research is needed. Can you tell us the names of the varieties? Can you describe the blooms on the new canes? Do they look like the varieties that you bought? If the plants are own root, then the long canes are just new growth. Longer canes sometimes means that they are searching for sunlight. Or, depending on the variety, it could just be normal growth. If the plants are grafted (they have a big knot at the base of the canes, see the photos), then that long growth is most likely from the rootstock. The most common rootstock used in the US is a once-blooming climber called Dr. Huey. The canes are markedly different than the desired variety. How can you know what's what? Dig under the surface to find the source/origin of the new canes. If they are coming from below the graft union, they new canes are rootstock, and need to be removed quickly. Remove them from as close to the origin as possible. If you don't, then you'll be left with only Dr. Huey, and the grafted variety will eventually die out. Let us know if you can find the source of the canes....See MoreID needed - hybrid tea?
Comments (21)I just find it all so interesting. I've been on a quest to discover all I could about this 1902 house since we bought the property two years ago, and that for me includes the contents of the garden. You can find my full rose ID post, including an as yet still unidentified yellow rose and an unknown old hybrid sempervirens rambler over here. Among other things, learning about the garden is a window into who owned this house and how they lived. The house is one of the oldest on the island and predates roads. At the time it was built it would have been approached by boat, and all business on the island would have been done by boat. Need groceries? Paddle over and get some. It has quite a high ceiling for the time, and it's Craftsman-like while being just a smidge too old for the Craftsman movement. Whoever built it was unusual for the time as well in that they replanted. The island had been clear cut, and this particular property was replanted with native Western Red Cedar which was not common at the time, making them some of the oldest Wester Red Cedars on the island. And roses, as well as some of the other plants, can be to some extent dated, at least to when that specific rose was bred which can at least suggest when they might have been planted. How can that not be interesting? Of course it may be that I'm just weird. :)...See MoreRed Hybrid Tea Roses, 1912
