| For any of you growing both La Reine and Barbara's Pasture rose or if you know them both well, what is the difference. I have 3 La Reines and they are all wonderful. They like my weather very much. Is Barbara's Pasture rose an improved La Reine? |

| I have never grown the rose sold as La Reine, but have a couple in the cemetery that are "La Reine-type" roses in addition to Barbara's Pasture Rose. BPR is more vigorous and shapely a plant than the other ones. I grow it in my home garden right outside my office window and it blooms heavily and repeatedly. Occasionally its leaves get a bit spotty - more the "damask crud" type thing than true black spot - but generally it's clean, and has no problem with powdery mildew or rust, which are more common in Sacramento than black spot. It's a wonderful rose. A nice medium old-rose fragrance too. We are going to have at least half a dozen for sale at the open garden on Apr 12. If you have room for another rose and don't grow it, grab it! Anita |
