A lexicon of repeat flowering roses
Comments (28)I looked up Cadwell's Pink in QR and it wasn't there nor under it's other name, Pink Pet. A number of American sources but no European. Listed as a Ch, China?, so it may not be hardy here. Lyda Rose also not in QR but a shrub so might be OK here. Hybridized by Lettunich and introduced in 1994 which might be why it's not in QR. This past summer the roses that have been the most continuous have seen Elmshorn, Elveshorn, Knirps (truly continuous)and Robusta. The two E's are never mentioned here and Knirps, a small ground cover, is apparently unknown. Robusta is grown more widely as it is z4 hardy and a brilliant red. BS is a problem especially this wet year. Hardiness of course is a main issue here so such truly continuouse bloomers, at least from what I read, the teas and china's, are just not in the cards. There are many roses that bloom in flushes, not surprising since new flowers require new growth. Then there is the matter of disbudding. I've done very little of that as I find it difficult to keep up with normal chores with roses. Supposedly it promotes better bloom. If that is so I wonder if my two E's bloom better since they naturally disbud, in other words they don't form hips. The remnant of the flower just falls off like the petals. Makes a clean look at all times and possibly helps with rebloom....See MoreThursday's last and repeats
Comments (10)CHANCE ENCOUNTER IS SO PRETT, and I love BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS. mine is almost 5 foot tall, too.I am always afraid the wind is going to break the scapes when it blows,as the scapes are just whipping back and forth in the wind, but, it hasn't broke none yet.So sad to see them come to the end,isn't it.I have one fixing to bloom,that I have never seen a flower on yet, but it only has 3 buds on it, so it wont last long, and a rebloomer fixing to rebloom and it has only 3 or 4 buds, so wont last long and maybe only a day. jean...See MoreThursday blooms and repeats
Comments (11)Maryl: Whip City intros are hybridized by Lori James here in the northeast. Isn't always the way that what looks and grows good in one garden may not work in another. All the Whip City ones are being moved behind other plantings in the front garden bed along the rock wall. Earth And All Stars is registered to be 33 inches height but I don't think I've gotten that height here since I bought it from the hybridizer Korth a couple of years ago along with several others. I moved Coral Majority 2 years ago to its current location and it hasn't done well with the openings since the move. It hasn't been cool here but very humid over the past several days with mornings in the low 70's. We had a very early morning thunderstorm which dumped more rain. Unexpected but glad to get all we can now. Julia...See MoreMonday new blooms and repeats
Comments (12)mantis: no, I never had it. Summertime Idyll has always been darker pink here than the photos from Rice. It can show a lighter pink when we have 90+ temps which thank goodness we are not experiencing now....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
