| I saw a post very recently where a grower described a rose as "late blooming" (I think it might have been a Damask?). This got me to thinking a bit, as I am always so saddened when the initial flush is over, and always far too quickly. We plant early, mid, and late Tulips, and the same with Daffodils in order to extend the bloom sequence. Can something similar happen with roses? We have 50+ roses, but with one exception (Galway Bay) they all bloom more or less at the same time after one takes into account their planting aspect. I'd love to be able to plant some later-blooming roses if such exists. Thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Ramblers bloom at the end of the first flush. Excelsa in my neighbor's yard is blooming now. Rugosas and other species are the earliest (with the peonies) in late May. Old roses tend to be early-ish (end of May to mid June). Hybrid musks are mid to late June, though some are earlier. Older European roses that are once bloomers have a huge flush in May-June. Those that are repeaters take a rest and can have second and third flushes into fall. Many of the modern roses are everblooming. |

| Alain Blanchard, a stunning Gallica is always later than most of my roses. Mid to late June. Most all of my old European roses are finished by now. Diane |

| The early yellows start in early May here. Setigera starts in July. |
|
| Aimee Vibert and Nastarana are not yet in bloom and won't be until mid July or even later. |

| Roses don't all bloom at the same time. Early yellows Mad Gallica recommends bloom in April here (in a normal year, everything was late this year by two weeks at least), I like rosa primula, hugonis, and Cantabrigiensis. Then the repeat-bloomers bloom start in Mid-May in a normal year. Late May to early June the once- bloomers such as albas and gallicas are usually the last to start opening, even later than the damasks and centifolias though I have a few varieties that bloom for such a long time they outlast the ones with a later start -- Ispahan and Cristata bloom for the longest time in my garden and are just now finishing for the year. Then the ramblers get going, with Baltimore Belle (a hybrid setigera) being the last of my ramblers to bloom in June, just finishing up the last blooms now. |
