You will also enjoy the orange hips that develop in autumn.(1962, Johnson), a pink/yellow blend. This one rates two photos.(1987, Meilland) is a miniature with 1½ inch blooms on a bush that gets close to 3' by 3'.
They seemed kind of garish. I never cared for orange flowers. It is somewhat disease resistant, hardy in zones 6b-9b and has little to no fragrance. Color with a capital. You can see by these photos that the same is true of all of these rosarian/photographers.'Candelabra'...
Years ago my mother took cuttings from a couple bushes on an old farm my uncle had purchased. Often their names have gotten lost somewhere along the way. You can see in the photo below that one of those roses was a fairly typical pink cabbage rose, the...
The 'Halo's' are a series of singles with a contrasting color ring in the center. I wish I had taken a photo of the entire bush in bloom to share, but a thunderstorm got it before I had a chance.My very latest yellow rose acquisition is 'Halo Sunrise'...
Both of our rose gardens are young, started last season, spring of 2007. An unusual deep purple with 4", 26-40 petaled blooms, 'Ebb Tide' is good plant for the front of the border at 24"-32".
I even added a clove to some of the bags too.The coffee filters worked great. These irritating hairs are the source of the novelty itching powder, so should be removed.Many people wait until the hips are dry to sift out the hairs, but I wanted to make...
Climbing roses allow you to use vertical space - an important dimension in any landscape design. Low-gowing roses include floribundas, miniatures, polyanthas, and groundcover roses.
The levies broke and the rushing waters caused mass devastation to much of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Though I have tried, I cannot find this magazine so I cannot recall the exact title but it was something along the lines of "Out of Devastation,...
I was careful not to plantthem in a wide open area, where Minnie could damage them with her running - I thought! The very next day after I planted them, I found all the bottles I buried over the rose cuttings, on the lawn.
Ralph Moore celebrated his 101st birthday on January 14, 2008, the same day he retired from 70 years of hybridizing roses, most notably miniatures. Moore has decided to give all of his plants, research, notes and as much of his wisdom as he can impart...
At least that is what I am going to recommend to you. On the 'sunset' side, from the reds it goes to russets, oranges, melons, peaches, then yellows and creams. Come along as I design, plan, build and plant my dream rose garden.
There are many choices that are appropriate for a vast many zones. When someone gets too close to this particular beauty, moving against it, it will dig into the skin. This is a rose that grows well, it has sturdy branches and slightly longer than normal...
Every year when the new rose catalogs begin to hit my mailbox one of the first things that I look for is the AARS symbol. Those of you who like pastel roses will be very happy with the choices.
The garden was created in 1998 by Georges Beylard, a retired oenologist engineer who also planted whole forests of hazelnut trees all around the garden. As many as 450 different roses grow here so there will be shapes, colours and perfumes to meet everybody's...
Miles and miles of it.“A tree, a little tree,” I thought when I could see a bit of limp foliage. My birthday is November 20, and I did my annual birthday walk around in my yard.
One area of design we may not notice is on dinnerware. Pictured are some other early decals of roses. A rugged wild plant, this rose grows wild on coastlines and sand dunes and is commonly called beach tomato, sea tomato, saltspray rose and beach rose.

Certainly it would provide a definitive contrast to white flowers. I found the quote on the symbolism amusing. I suppose it would be a novelty. I've loved hearing from all of you about your roses, about you getting the courage to buy your first rose,...
I sat down and soon discovered that was where Sean was sitting! At the table were also many of the officers of the ARS. He is married to a lovely woman, Sally and he has 5 children who are all grown and married and have children of their own.
She won three Tony awards, two Oscars an Emmy and a Grammy. But did you know there was a rose named in Helen Hayes' honor? Research is an important step in planning a rose garden. And we have her rose.You will be amazed by what you see here.
This is particularly important if you're planting it near a pathway, doorway, or stairway. I lash them to the trellis, to the railing, to the drainpipe, in an attempt to keep the rose from completely blocking the stairs to the deck.
We put a long hedge of roses down below the barn by the orchard fence. Those that we had moved didn't bloom that year, old roses bloom on second-year and older wood and we had cut them down rather drastically, but there were many many bushes that we hadn't...
New gardeners wanting to try a rose can not go wrong by choosing an alba. It takes up a large footprint in my garden. These plant profiles will feature time-tested seeds and plants that are easy to grow, but produce a great show.Novice gardeners often...
These little guys bloom all season so therefore can be heavy feeders. Lo and behold, they flourished. Place your rose in the centre of the hole with the roots spread out as much as possible.
After 1 week it is ready to use. Organic fertilizers take a little longer to break down in the soil and to be taken up by the plant than chemical fertilizers.I want to test in the coming season.
[3] The flowers of native roses are nearly all single five petalled blooms ranging from thumbnail size to perhaps 2 inches in diameter in some shade of pink - rarely white. According to HMF sources, it is indigenous to both the European alps and to North...
I didn't get very far. Well, ALMOST anything. One year, her parents decided to get a real tree and Emma fell in love with it the moment it was set up. They do have a redeeming quality by providing lovely blackberries and I have braved many a thorned stem...
