| After all this talk of (lack of) self discipline in buying roses, it's time to hear what everybody's got on order, received, or still buying. Inquiring minds want to know the names!! My list is below. You will note I have mentioned which ones are replacements for those that died on me either last yr or beyond. Also reasons why I ordered new ones. (hey, I'm just trying to justify why I ordered them!) LOL Already here: Palatine Roses: Wisconsin Roses: Local shopping: Palatine Roses (replacements they forgot to ship with the new order): J&P: Rogue Valley Roses: Breck's (on their 1/2 price sale in Oct): S&W Greenhouses: Regan's (had to order at least two to make it worth it!): Hortico: Rosemania: Almost ordered a few from Heirloom but thankfully they sold out of all of them before I could make myself place the order. Hmmm... I could've sworn there was more than this. Oh well, that's a good thing if there aren't any more!!! I think I did pretty good this yr! So come on everybody... fess up! What do you have coming this season?? |

| I am out of room and too old for many more roses-ha. I will have to dig up at least one rose to accommodate one of these new ones, and will squeeze the other two in somewhere. From my favorite local nursery, I'm getting (just paid for them today) these three in 5 gallon pots. They'll be kept in a special greenhouse until I'm ready to pick them up and plant them: Boscobel I'm thinking of adding one more Evelyn to my collection of Evelyn's. Can't have too many of those fair creatures. Diane |
|
| Well, of most import, I've been notified that my final order from Vintage will be arriving this spring. |
|
| Nothing! I haven't ordered a single rose. I'm maxed out and need to plant of some of the pot ghetto. Come spring I'll see what doesn't make it through this winter from hell and replace them with the potted roses to try and get those numbers whittled down. After that we'll see. I can always pick up something locally if I find something gorgeous! That's the problem for me. I can't really ordered early because I don't know what will or won't make it through winter. If everything lives then what do I do with the new ones? And I won't know if they'll live or die until sometime in late April when most all the mail order places have already stopped shipping. What's a roser to do? |
|
| I got a pair of 'Ascot's back in October, and have shoveled eight roses so far--so I'm down six. In a year of bad drought, it makes no sense to plant a lot of new stuff. |

| I am supposed to get my 3 French imports from Vintage, and I ordered a Heathcliff from David Austin's. Anything else I get will be a local purchase. I am ordering other types of plants to replace any roses I have to get rid of due to non-improving rose rosette disease. I would like to get more of the ones that do well and get rid of the ones that don't, but since each year is different, so are the results of the season. It is hard to decide, but I would like to cull the herd down to a manageable number. |

| I had a weak moment of New Rose lust hit me earlier this winter and placed an order for roses I didn't "need" at all. After living here for 16 months, creating the garden spaces and moving about 30 roses plus countless perennials already, I still have possibly as many as 50 more roses to be moved over from my old place (now my son's) and know it will take Herculean efforts to get them all dug and transplanted before they break dormancy this spring. I should have someone give me a smack up the side of the head for purchasing new roses but I'm trying to build a garden with more bloom and little disease (I don't spray at all anymore.) I'm hoping I've researched and chosen well...in any case, these are coming from Chamblee's the first week in April: Blue for You Golden Celebration Julia Child Lemon Fizz Portmeirion Purple Rain Savannah Solero Vigorosa Sugar Moon Wild Blue Yonder |
|
| These are the roses that I ordered for spring: Graham Thomas, Carding Mill, Tamora, Molineux, Scepter D'Isle, Munstead Wood, Lady of Shallot, and Queen of Sweden (So excited about these roses as I have been blown away by the incredible beauty of these roses from photos posted on GW. I hope they do well for me.) Well Being, Laura, Playboy, Veteran's Honor, Tineke, OSO Lemon Zest, Over the Moon, Blue for You, St. Patrick, Double Delight, Porcelain Rose, Folksinger, and Quietness Hopefully, these will prove to be easy to grow roses and will look decent without spray. Cupcake and Rainbow's End I already got pots for them. Luckily, there was a clearance at my local garden center and I was able to get 2 gal plastic pots for $0.50/ea. desertgarden561, you must love Bolero to be growing 3 of them in your garden. Does it do well for you? I was thinking about getting one. Is it blush or white? Some photos show it to be white and others blush. |
|
| I just couldn't resist a few more of the older style roses. My list is short, but if a couple plants had not suddenly died, it would be even shorter! Ghislaine de Feligonde--hybrid multiflora I'm quite excited about these new and different additions to my garden. Kate |
|
| I have Midnight Blue and I've ordered: Deep Secret When they come in stock at Heirloom I will order: I wanted to buy more, but I can't afford it this year! |
|
| I am almost out of room for roses but I am planting a Boscobel, Jude the Obscure, Rock & Roll, and an Anna's Promise. |
|
| From Palatine (already here) I ordered: Zaide William P J McCarthy Sweet Beauty Rina Hugo Radox Bouquet Martina Mondadori King's Macc Chicago Peace (I want to see if it does better on multiflora than on Dr Huey) Ascot |
|
| And there will be more roses from the local nurseries. Roses are always jumping into my shopping cart and insisting that I take them home. And then there is retail therapy, I buy roses the way other women buy shoes. It makes me happy. No self disipline here! |
|
| This is going to be a very well-mixed mix. S and W: All but one are all to replace memorial roses that didn't perform well here. Angel Roses: (one also a memorial rose replacement) Edmund Roses: (both memorial rose replacements) This doesn't seem like many compared to some of your orders. I have a bunch in pots for Sophia's little playhouse garden and several others that just needed to be moved so it will keep me busy. I think that I will need to replace several after this winter so the undesignated rose will probably be a replacement.

| ROGUE VALLEY - Honeysweet - Just Joey - Belle Epoque - Chic - Quietness ANGEL GARDENS HEIRLOOM PALATINE I'm expecting to loose a number of plants this year due to the crazy winter we've been having. There are some plants that will be a 'replace immediately' if they don't make it. |

| Oops, almost forgot this one! I had a BOGO coupon from David Austin and decided to give it a try. I've ordered: Munstead Wood- also a memorial rose replacement These are both own root. Has anyone ever grown these own root before? |

| I pulled out three roses last year to start again with new roses. I kept just one, Julia Child. I have very little room for roses, so my order is small. Also aiming for disease resistance. Brother Cadafael All from Pickering. I was pretty disappointed about the Munstead Wood and I just didn't even look to see if anyone else had it. I didn't want to have to build another order at a second supplier. I'll have to try again next year, unless something else has my attention by then. [g] |

In case, anyone else is trying to deal with these duplicate posts, I also wanted to mention that I tried to edit this 2nd post, twice, by adding just the words 'duplicate post', but it wouldn't accept it. It worked when I typed in a whole sentence. |

| With the drought and space considerations, I've been very conservative. These roses have already arrived and all but one are planted. Mutabilis Most of them are replacing roses I've taken out for disease reasons and one is filling an empty spot in Tea Rose Row (although I'm cheating since Hoag House Cream is actually a very early Hybrid Tea). |

| [NorCA 9B] This is a great topic Beth. Thank you for starting it. I have only been planting roses for three years and my garden is small so I have no idea how I went from just 5 roses to 40 roses (I practiced a lot of self-discipline when I did the online orders. I don't think my husband believes me when I told him that :) Here are my recent orders and they are all planted in the ground and have some small leaves. Regan (ordered online, picked up): Summer Winds Nursery (local, one of my favorite stores but they don't carry a lot of varieties): J&P (ordered online, shipped): This is my first time order bare root roses and the result has been great except from J&P. Their price is higher and when I received the order I felt a bit disappointed. I ordered 2 Black Magic from them and the first Black Magic is at the right grade (similar to other nurseries) but the second Black Magic and Radiant Perfume's canes are really small. Their diameters are just about 1/2 the size of the first Black Magic's (see image). I'm not sure if this is the norm or not. Anyway, I'm glad that I can order all those beautiful roses and can't wait to see when they bloom :) |

| Um, well, you really don't want to see the complete list of roses I've ordered this season, since I just broke the 200 limit with my last choices at Roses Unlimited. Remember that I'm in zone 5 where fussy pants roses I like are at risk for giving up the ghost (but you never know, they might not...), so there's always a need for replacement roses. What's hard is knowing when to quit and admitting a particular rose is not going to survive in my yard, or worse yet, category of roses (see russets). I'll give you a total number by vendor and hit a few highlights Vintage (31- how can I resist when they list their new imports among their "unloved" roses) Rogue Valley (20) Chamblees (14) Palatine (8) Long Ago Roses (4) - Granny Grimmetts, Clementina Carboniari (going for my 6th stalwart tea), and I have to replace Happy Butt (on purely the name). I'm also trying my fourth Oklahoma from here, hoping this'll be the one that survives. Heirloom (36) Burlington (26) Regan's (9) Edmunds (8) And the winner (so far)... drum roll... OK, enough from me. Will post pictures next year of the survivors that bloom... Cynthia |
|
| Bayarea-girl, I'm sure that other BLACK MAGIC will do ok. It's smallish, but looks like the ones we get from Hortico, so it should be ok. You're gonna love that rose! I'm not a huge red fan, but it's a real beauty! Yowsers Cynthia! You sound like me about 4-5yrs ago! I'm not sure what temps Zone 5 has, but I assume it's colder than mine. I never lose roses to cold, I lose 'em to the hot summer temps. They fry and die a lot. Hope you don't lose very many of these! Have you tried potting up the ones that you've had trouble with? Mulch 'em really well too. Hey, you're gonna love DARK NIGHT! It's so unusual. |

| Palatine: Buxom Beauty, St. Patrick, Signature, Rina Hugo, Grande Amore, and South Africa(only one that I haven't grown before) K&M: Tammy Clemmons 2, Jewel Grace, Louise Estes (favorite all time rose), Let Freedom Ring, and Crystal Palace....have several roses on fort. may have to rethink this rootstock if I lose a bunch of established ones due to this winter |
|
| None - No Roses Ordered, Thank You! Too much hassle, been there, done that. Will pick up a few container roses from Fred's Discount Store in a few weeks. They had some nice liter potted roses there the past few years (out of Canada...) They grew great. They even had the old J&P Rose from the mid-seventies, Evening Star. They were in deep pots, budded, probably as big or bigger then some of the twigs from Hortico. I do want to get a few minis from Heirloom, we'll see. Good luck planting folks, you'll need it - |
|
| Oh, my! That is a lot of roses, Cynthia. I hope that you will have help planting them. It seems that when we order, we register only pleasant visions of the roses in bloom, and none of the hard work involved. Anyway, This winter weather makes it really hard to exercise any self-discipline. |
|
| PALATINE Rina Hugo Milestone Manou Meilland Perfect Moment Dolly Parton Folklore (2) (because this was such a good rose for me in the past). REGAN EDMUNDS (love the free shipping) ROSEMANIA PICKERING ROSES UNLIMITED J&P HORTICO I started ordering too early. Wish I had given it more thought and ordered fewer hybrid teas and instead ordered a few Griffith Buck roses and others that hopefully would do good in my zone. We'll see what happens next year. I won't be ordering near that many though, but I am still looking forward to it. I know I can recruit my hard working grandson to help, he loves earning extra money. |

| kousa, I have no previous experience with Bolero. I research, research, research roses, order, plant, then cross my fingers. My front landscape, side yard front and back have been completely re-landscaped. My design called for five white roses in the area so unfortunately I could not purchase just one. I have two own root one-gallon on order for a total of 5. Bolero was the white rose that I was willing to make more of an investment in. White Pet would have likely been less risky, but for the space, Bolero is more appropriate. I am actually experimenting with Clotilde Soupert, Marie Pavie, White Pet, Bolero, and Pure Perfume. I am eagerly awaiting the spring, and summer to see how they all fair in my garden. |

| Either recently arrived or coming this Spring to go into my mom's garden: Distant Drums Koko Loko (Replacing Angel Face) Lavender Pinnochio Brown Velvet Dragon's Blood Just Joey Lavaglut Betty White Julio Iglesias (replacing a Scentimental, hopefully it blooms more often) Reine des Violettes Boule de Neige Gilbert Nabonnand Autumn Damask Sydonie Reve d'Or Cornelia Lupe's Buttons Quietness And either Purple Buttons, Indigo, or Munstead Wood, but she's undecided on a purple. At this point pot culture/shovel pruning will be just about the only means of expanding besides a few tucked away spots where Hybrid Musks or vigorous Tea-Noisettes might do well. Mutabilis would be a great addition somewhere, but it might be too much rose at this point. Boule de Neige is getting a prime, large spot in the front I made by digging out a few Japanese Pittosporums recently and the white is a better fit than Mutabilis' range of color. I'd love to find space to carve out for Baron Girod de l'Ain as well just to give it a shot. My mom recently found an article from the early 30s or late 20s from the local Santa Monica paper that is a list of recommended rose varieties for the area. It's very interesting to see a rose recommendation list in a newspaper with almost exclusively old garden roses and heavily tea influenced Hybrid Teas. Plenty of roses I hadn't heard of. Interesting to see what a little research can dig up. I'll try to get a scan of that posted for interested folk in Coastal California. It made us want to add to the list above! Jay |

| Thanks Kousa for the encouragement to get help planting these, but my husband only appreciates the roses in limited doses, and isn't interested in gardening. Besides, gardening is my "ME" time, and it's therapeutic in many ways. I can plant about 30 roses on a good weekend day if they're not bareroots (they need bigger holes), so as long as I've decided where they go it's not that bad (assuming of course you're rose insane). I usually plan a day off per week in late April and early May if I can, and between that and a weekend day I can get the roses planted reasonably comfortably. It's delightful to see these long lists of roses from everyone and not feel too much like an oddball, at least among rose enthusiasts. Beth, it's infinitely reassuring to hear that I sound like you at any point in your life, since it means I'm not totally insane (smile). I keep thinking I'm going to run out of space one of these days, but things stay smaller in zone 5 and so far so good. I have to admit it's also reassuring to see the number of replacements noted on your list, since I'd had the impression that roses were fairly indestructible in California. I forgot about the heat - we have dry heat and plenty of 90's and 100's too, but more water than in California. As for cold, it has gone well below zero most days throughout late December through last night, with surprisingly little break. Highs in the 20's had us peeling off coats today. This will definitely be the test year for winter survival, with very little snow, bitter cold, and a move to minimum protection on my part. I'd love to try potting roses, and I appreciate the suggestion, but there's no faster way to kill a rose in my yard than to pot it up. No kidding - I lost one of the two Dr. Hueys I potted up for the fun of it last summer, and that's like killing a philodendron inside (yep, killed plenty of those too). Thanks for the heads up on Dark Night - can't wait. Cynthia |

|
| Well my rose order is teenie tiny compared to some of you! Cynthia, I'm tired just thinking of unboxing that many roses, never mind planting them!! From Roses Unlimited I have ordered teas for the first time, Mrs Dudley Cross, Mrs. B. R. Cant, and Marie Van Houtte. Then because I can't go a year without adding an Austin I ordered Crown Princess Margareta. I plan to pick up my order so I'm sure a couple more will find there way in my roomy van! |

| Well, I really need to finish my garden this season so I can enjoy it for a few years before something "new and great" comes along. Most of my roses will come from K&M and a handful from Coolroses and a small handful from Roses Unlimited. To finish my HT's; 1 Snuffy, 1 Royal Amethyst, 2 Louise Estes, 2 Elina, 2 Grande Amore, 2 Crystalline, 4 Mavrik, 4 Marlon's Day, 4 Moonstone. Florabunda's; 1 Summer Snow, 1 Lady of the Dawn, 1 Stadt den Helder, 1 Julia Child, 2 Hannah Gorden, 2 Hot Cocoa, 2 Shelia's Perfume. Shrub/OGR/Climbers; 1 Colonial Days, 1 Abraham Darby (if K&M does Austins this coming fall), 1 Rosa Rugosa Alba, 1 4th of July. Mini/miniflora's; 1 Odessa, 1 Emma Grace, 1 Arcanum, 1 Cooper, 1 First Choice, 1 Autumn Splendor. I think that will take enough out of my wallet this year. This way I can get everything in the ground and start to really enjoying my roses again. |

| I'm just starting out and have a very small property. I just received Night Owl and Blue for You. I am expecting: From Roses Unlimited: From Burlington Roses: I ordered them after reading this forum and "Help Me Find Roses" for days on end. Oh, the anticipation of the first rose bloom! |
|
| OK, so I lied, lol! A forum friend remembered that I was searching for Mariotta and bought it for me at an auction and is sending it to me in April! Thank you! |
|
| I don't have any roses coming, but I noticed that some of you mentioned ordering roses from Angel Gardens, Burlington and Regan roses. Are they pretty reputable? What size rose do you get? |
|
| Just 2 for me - Nevada and Alba semi-plena. Planted them at the edge of the wood....on a chilly north side facing open fields. I am never going to tame and formalise the wood so I am planting roses which have a similar tough and rugged character, to offset the wild caninas and briars which squeeze between the goat willows and ivy. |

|
| I have ordered from all three of those nurseries, Bellarosa. Regans sends grafted bare root plants. Angel Gardens and Burlington send bands. I rarely get bands here though because they can be very iffy going through the first winter. I've had a good experience with all three of these suppliers though. |

| My pot ghetto is still bigger than it should be, so I really have to restrain myself in terms of ordering new roses, but I couldn't resist to get a second 'Pope John Paul II' (know where I want to put it, hole already dug :-) !). This Hybrid Tea is doing so well for me and was giving me plenty of the most exquisite white very fragrant blooms in the last three years so that I just wanted to have another one. With a little bit of a knot in the gut I ordered it from Jackson & Perkins, which is now under a new ownership and has not a good reputation anymore. I wanted an own-root rose and couldn't find it anywhere else but from them. When they deliver a lousy plant then at least I tried! Christina |
|
- Posted by kentucky_rose Z6 KY (My Page) on Sun, Feb 16, 14 at 7:56
| Christina, Last year I ordered another Pope John Paul II for the same reasons as you. I got mine at Palatine on their multiflora rootstock. Good luck! |
|
| Hortico (replacements for plants the lawn service hacked down): White Pet Cardinal de Richelieu Miami Moon Wisconsin Roses: I am also waiting to see if I need to order new plants of Soroptimist International and Conundrum (more lawn service casualties), I won't know until the snow melts, and the plants break dormancy. I think the Conundrum is a goner... |
|
| Just three for me this year from online over Heirloom, then I'll be hunting at the local places for surprise finds after they re-open in March. Mermaid; yes I have a designated place for her to take over! She can go hog wild! Filing in my climbing space at the front of the house this year and laying out new beds; next year it's onto the shrub roses! |
|
| Heirloom: Charles Darwin - I'm one of those that likes that odd coloration that is so misrepresented in the promo materials Fragrant Cloud - sucker for fragrance Jude the Obscure - fragrance, size, how could I Say no? Star of the Nile - my god that color... DA: Still considering Neptune, Lady Of Megginch (if it comes available on own root), Falstaff (I know... stingy, but I like the difficult ones, the bad boys if you will), and alec's red. |

She's shipping it out tomorrow, along with HOT CHOCOLATE and HIGH SHERIFF! Yippee!! I can't wait to see how EFY is going to do this spring. If anybody else has been wanting it, she's got bands and gallons! I opted for the band, but I probably should've done the gallon. Oh well, it'll be fun to see it develop. |

| I also thought I was over but I just ordered one Benjamin Britten and three Gartentraume (the very nice pink DA lookalike by Tantau) from a local nursery. I actually just wanted the GTs for a new bed I'm preparing but then thought what the heck and ordered BB also, a rose which I have never tried before and I know it will be difficult to place. As if I didn't have about 30 unplaced roses in pots already...The only consolation is that when I buy from my local nursery the prices are very cheap and I know I will get a surprise rose as a gift also.

| I'm curious about Munstead Wood. I looked at its picture and I think it looks nice but I saw other roses also have similar look but people don't rave about it. Is it because of its fragrance, something like Peter Mayle rose? Or maybe it is one of the roses that is hard to take picture of correctly? I'm tempted to order it. Thanks. Munstead Wood (photo by Jeanne Frolova) |
|
| I'm one of the posters pushing for Munstead Wood this past year. First, I adore its color and I do believe it is darker and richer than most of Austin's other reds--though I find it similar to Shakespeare 2000--but perhaps a bit deeper in color. Second, I like its size and shape--a somewhat smaller Austin (about 3x3?)--there are so many more places I can use it. And it has a graceful shape. Although its color may be similar to Shakespeare 2000, Shakespeare 2000 is taller and much wider--in fact, it sprawls sideways in a rather awkward way. MW is more a shorter fountain shape. Disease Resistance--MW seems to be quite good on resisting BS. That is VERY important in my garden. If a rose is not disease-resistant, I won't buy it. So far, my MW has better disease-resistance than my Shakespeare 2000 does. Rebloom--seems to be quite good on MW. Of course, my MW is still relatively new in my garden, but so far, it is doing well, so I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom in my future gardens also. Kate |
|
| I have MUNSTEAD WOOD, and for me it hasn't done a whole lot so far. It's in one of the areas where I need to add more organics and fertilizers, so I'm sure that explains it. But I do have SHAKESPEARE 2000 not too far from it, and that thing grows exactly as Kate says.... all wide and sprawly and gangly. Gets some pretty blooms tho. I just got my replacement TWILIGHT ZONE and put it where last yr's plant died. It's near the other two. I hope it does ok this time. I'm hittin' the jackpot this week. My roses from S&W came Saturday; all potted up now. Got notice my NEIL DIAMOND and SUGAR MOON shipped out from Breck's. Also got notice something shipped out of NY a few days ago. I'm guessing it's my Hortico order. And just got an email that my RVR order went out. Oh, and Burlington Roses order should ship out today. I gotta go get more potting soil!! Wow, just noticed it's sprinkling outside. We're supposed to get rain for a few days I think. Yay! We need it, but it means it'll be a bit til I can get out and pot these roses up!! Come on spring! |

BoleroWe're down to a handful of very sunny spaces left to be tapped here, but there are still quite a few places in the back along a fence in dappled shade where Hybrid Musks or Noisettes could happily grow. Felicia, Lupe's Buttons, and Reve d'Or are destined for some spot. Robert's Wondrous Ruthie, Prosperity, Danae, or Jaune Desprez could also find a home here.

Wistful
Teddy Bear

Royal Amethyst, and possibly
Odysseyto my spring orders, and they're all at Heirloom - a few are available at other places but many are not (that I can find).
And it turns out Heirloom doesn't ship to Canada! D'oh! They're being very nice about it, but they can't help me. I'm so sad!
RE: What roses do you have coming this spring?Hi, I am totally new to this forum. Got bitten by the rose bug five years ago when I got my first garden.. It's small and sun is just partial, so I have to choose...
However I just drove 3 hours yesterday to get me some new plants...Red Fairy
Crepuscule (orange noisette)
Momo (not so well known, small rambler sized bunches of flowers, repeat blooming)
Amadeus (was told this was the earliest blooming red climbing rose here)
Golden Showers (for one of those numerous shady spots, and to liven up a white rose (Guirlande d'amour))They are just leafing out, so I'm burying the pots and planting them in 6 weeks. :-)
Hoping for much colour this year!
Maybe I close this years spending spree with Munstead Wood.. Got curious because of these posts, and the color is amazing.Just because it makes me happy, I attach a picture of my first bloom this year, a wild colored Cornelia! Usually blooms start in May around here (Amsterdam)
