Murjami rose

anyone heard of this? Beales are selling it as a species rose - single purple flowers, held tightly on the cane - sounds like a spin to me. Might be one of the rare times when I buy something I have never actually seen....another spin sounds just the ticket although, to console myself for the end of summer, I have bought agapanthus Profusion and Liam's Lavender.

Murjami reminds me a lot of Kordes' Blue Bayou, especially when both roses are fully open. Diane

RE: Not Mirjam

O right - yep, HMF kept sending me to Mirjam but that is not the rose Beales has. I read summat by some garden writer commenting on the Chelsea show who also mentioned Murjami....and a new(to me) species or semi-wildling rose just gets me going....a lot. There seems to be lots of stuff in some Scandinavian language - mariannese, where are you?

Finger has been hovering dangerously over buy - but having been on Plantworld seeds again (hardy geraniums, dierama, notholirion this time) I am being a bit circumspect with my dwindling reserves....as it is, we will be eating a lot of baked potatoes (allotment!) next week.

Ah, sorry, I made the same mistake. Well you'll just have to order it and post some, lol! (no enabling here)

Go for it. We all want to know how it does.

It's only money, Camp. Besides, I love baked potatoes.

RE: Murjami rose

We saw one plant of this on the Peter Beales stand at the Gardeners World show at the NEC, Birmingham 2012. We were not permitted too buy it but later in 2012 we ordered three.
They arrived in good condition and have been planted. One shows some bud swelling. Beales mark it as a species, but without the provenance this cannot be checked. It is not listed in the RHS Encyclopedia of Roses, DK, 2003.

Mmmmm, dithered and left it too late to order. Still, I think it would be a good woodlander (next year). Hi there, JonesTG - do keep us updated on this little rose. Nice to see another Brit here (we can whine in concert, about our dismal weather, rain, lack of rain, floods, drought....and so on).
