| Any suggestions for a rose that would be blooming in New York City (or environs) in October? Would have to be something that existed in 1867. Thanks for doing my research for me! |
Follow-Up Postings:

| It would be a hybrid perpetual--most of the varieties are no longer in existence. |

| It could also be a China or Tea or Bourbon or Noisette or Damask Perpetual. Do you have any other information to narrow the choices? :-) ~Christopher |

| A Burbon that fits the bill is Louise Odier. Both of my plants are 4-year old, and each has a very small fall flush (the emphasis is on the word "small") that can last into November. Archduke Charles is another that might work. It is a China and might be only borderline hardy here, but I did recall seeing a reasonably-sized plant at the P. Rockefeller Rose Garden in the Bronx. Haven't been there this year so I don't know if it has made through this past winter alive. . Another rose that may qualify is Baronne Prevost, a Hybrid Perpetual, which I think you can find both at the Rockefeller Garden an the Cranford Rose Garden. I don't grow either and cannot tell you how big a fall flush you can expect from each. |
