| From Chamblee's I ordered two roses, Mme. Antoine Mari and Duchesse de Brabant. The order will arrive in November since September is one of our hottest months. I'm replacing Souvenir d'un Ami and William R. Smith, which have been pampered and still have been poor performers for the last few years. Ingrid |

| I will be receiving a Vicomtesse d' Avesne and a Capitaine Dyel de Graville. My search continues for a compact (3-4.5' range) white rose that is heat tolerant. |

| I ordered from ARE: Baronne Prevost Madame Caroline Testout, Cl Lafter Duchesse de Grammont They are coming second week of September. Sure don't want to go any later than that after the winter we had last year! Lynn, have you tried Ducher? I added a link (NOT my photo) from HMF of it growing in Louisiana. They've certainly got the heat but I guess you have no humidity? Mine is growing in a pot. Ingrid you are going to LOVE Duchesse de Brabant. Healthy, lovely and non stop bloomer in her first full summer. Really graceful. |

| Poorbutroserich, Thank you for the suggestion. The rose will fill the last space in a section of my yard, which makes my requirements for it so specific. I have been using the advanced search on HMF and have a "short list" but am definitely keeping my eyes open. Lynn |

| Not exactly on order, but I've been on the waiting list for these roses from Greenmantle Nursery. Naturally they are hard to propagate. I may get some of them in 2015 but not likely all. R. hemispherica ‘ Flore-Pleno’ Both R. hemispherica and R. stellata mirifica are really rare and hard to find. I haven't seen either in person--only in books or on HMF, but I think both are suited to the very dry conditions in my garden. Rugosas and damasks also like periods of drought and perform well for me. Ducher I had a long time ago from ARE. It did not like the hot and dry weather here, and/or the soil (sandy loam with rocks), and grew backwards and died. If you could give it LOTS of water and maybe install a mister so it would have more humidity in the air, it might be happy. Melissa |

| Lynn, have you considered Alba Meidiland? The blooms look "old rose" and the leaves are dark green and quite thick. roserich, I love DdB and have tried to grow it twice but in a too-hot spot and I'm going to try it again in a better place and lots of TLC. You're right, it's very graceful and I've always been enchanted by it. Ingrid |
|
| Lynn, I don't know what your tastes are in roses, but I just recently heard of a small, white Polyantha/China that may or may not interest you: 'Flocon de Neige'. I was reading about it being suitable for hot, southern climates, but I have no idea how that would translate to your desert conditions. I thought it was pretty, though... |

| Thank you both for the suggestions. I am actually thinking of moving a Pure Perfume or Bolero to the space. On the short list for a September order are Westside Road Cream Tea, Ava Maria or Kronprinzessin Vicktoria ( if I can keep it in the 4' range ) Lynn |

| Stellata var mirifica, aka the gooseberry rose - am amazed it is hard to find, Tess - at least 4 nurseries stock it in chilly damp England - it is a lovely rose with lilac shadings and cistus like blooms (I have banged the drum for this in Ingrid's garden - woulda thought it was easy to find in its native area (New Mexico, Sacramento) or am I missing something about US nurseries? I thought the native plant movement was gathering pace (judging by the posts on other parts of GW and the number of seed merchants like Native American Seeds or American Meadows).....or does this not apply to roses and other shrubs? Agnes is an odd one and can be a really mean bloomer in the UK...but rugosas are sprawly, a bit untidy, at least under my none-too-tender hands. I am thinking about a few more enormo-roses - possibly Mannings Blush, r.mulliganii and nutkana semi-plena |

| I grow Flocon de Neige and love it. Healthy, flushes, no fragrance though. Definitely poly bushy type rose. Flowers don't drop cleanly so I have to deadhead clusters in one whack but they usually come back in 4 weeks or so. Pretty little rose. Susan |

| It's a very odd thing camps. With regard to native plant advocacy, quite often the roses seem to be left out. I'm not sure where the source of this is--whether it is consumers who have in their mind's eye an image of a rose, and that rose is a hybrid tea, with other things not registering at all. Or whether it is the nurseries not believing customers will buy a rose that doesn't fit that mold. I think there is a problem with how roses have been promoted in the US for years. Again what was used was the hybrid tea model, with that rose needing extensive care, including copious food and water year round (and with water plentiful and cheap at one time in hot areas of the southwest where roses grow easily). With the giant corporations spending mega bucks over a period of decades emphasizing that scenario, it may take some time to change perceptions. Especially here in the increasingly parched southwest, growing a plant that wants lots of water 12 months of the year may tend to keep it off the wish list of those going native. Yet many of the roses native to hot dry areas are actually low water users. However, they haven't had the benefit of advertising juggernauts promoting their use. Melissa |

| I jumped the gun and ordered from a nursery still shipping. I bought Lewison Gower. I was at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens today and encountered a modern reproduction that truly impressed me. Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg similar to SDLM in form but a blush center similar to Eden! |

| Tessiess, I love native plants, and the look of native roses, but I keep reading how they will take over the yard (and this is from the folks who are suposedly trying to sell the plants), and it does make me slightly nervous. On the other hand, if they were so very aggressive, why aren't they already here in the yard? Or much of anyplace nearby? The Cherokee roses are pretty darned invasive here (I'm pretty sure that's what we've got), but I rarely see native roses around. As far as I can tell, the roses that are native to my area are carolina, palustris and setigera. I would be interested in hearing pros and cons from anyone who is growing any of these roses. Maybe then I can add one or more to my wish list for the fall. Thanks, |

| From Chamblees: Lion's Fairy Tale Gruss an achen From The Antique Rose Emporium: Francis Dubrueil, Will most likely arrive in 2015 From Heirloom From Roses Unlimited Martine Guillot |

| Is everyone just as excited to add new roses to your "collection"? September is sneaking upon us. Do tell. Colette |
|
| Souvenir de la Malmaison Soleil d'Or I had ordered SdlM back in June or July and it arrived with brown, crispy leaves while another rose in the same box was completely fine. Failed to nurse it back to health. Silly me am redordering again when it's even hotter! |

| I just got a bunch since the weather here has been fairly cool all things considered and I can move them to a morning only sun area. I will be ordering Rosette Delizy from ARE and from RU Cl Lady Hillingdon And I should stop looking for a while....lol |

| In the next few days I think I'll place an order for Mrs. Bosanquet from ARE. My mom is planning on ordering a few teas this fall to replace some old Japanese Pittosporums (or would the plural be pittospora?). She's thinking about an RU order for Mme. Melanie Willermoz, Souvenir de Pierre Notting or Bridesmaid, and Puerto Rico. I may add on a Blanc de Vibert or Cramoisi Superieur for myself. Jay |
|
| I am waiting to go to Chamblees, 2 hours away, when they start selling the new Kordes roses. And plan to add a few David Austins including the new The Lady Gardner. Am sure I will succumb to more as the weather cools.... Judith |
|
| My Heirloom order should be here soon: Eugene Furst, John Hopper, and then Spiced Coffee because those russets are so hard to resist. -Nancy |

| Any own root roses that I get in pots I will drench with Bayers Complete Insect Killer (1 tbs/gal). I have gotten Rose midge in potted own root plants and cannot get rid of it even with constant effort to keep it down. My problem is having a 1/3 acre main rose garden that is virtually impossible to treat the entire area continually. I can suppress the midge in the most affected beds (same material spray drenched with the hose on applicator) and then it springs up elsewhere sometimes in another garden area - perhaps 150' away. I guess the midge can move a bit or travels on the wind. Just a thought. |

| Yea! I am so excited! I just ordered from Burlington roses: grandmother's hat, excellenz von Schubert, crimson glory, Frances dubreuil, reines des violettes and from chamblees: SDLM, and Dame de Couer I can't wait for my babies to arrive! |

| Great picks, Bayourose! I received Grandmother's Hat and my mom received Excellenz von Schubert from Burling this year as well. Grandmother's Hat has been impeccably healthy for me. The foliage is just perfect! EvS has had three small, but lovely flushes since Spring while building up from a band sized plant. Beautiful tone and scent to the mauve/lilac pink blooms. Burling's roses are some of the larger bands I've encountered and her shipping is by far the most reasonable I've seen. I am in state though, so that helps. I received Narrow Water and John Hopper from Heirloom today when I got home and potted them up to quarts. Exciting indeed! Jay |
|
| Thank you so much, Jay! You made me feel so good about my purchases. I really don't have any experience with those types of roses and have never ordered from Burlington roses, but heard about it from this forum and wanted to support them. She was so sweet and helpful and answered all of my questions. I felt good about ordering with her and hopefully the bands will be just as nice. I'm so glad you have had a great experience with her and the roses. I had to look up john hopper and narrow water since I have never heard of them and they both look pretty, especially john hopper as I like the frilly ones. Lol. I would love it if you shared your pics of them when the time is appropriate. I have heard that Frances dubreuil smells lovely. Can't wait. :-) |

| I most definitely will! I'm also a big fan of Reine des Violettes. It's one I love seeing in my mom's garden. Some people rave about the scent, but I never catch it at its peak I guess. Francis Dubreuil does smell terrific. I haven't grown one, but it's lovely at the Huntington Rose Garden in Pasadena. Same for SdlM. It's a beauty I hear wouldn't like my particular conditions all that much, but it's great that others who CAN grow it well can share their results. While this forum accommodates serious enabling, it fortunately also enlightens me as to what I should probably avoid. That doesn't always stop me from making questionable purchases, but it does make them all informed. Jay |

| I didn't wait until September. I just received in the mail today 'Annie Laurie McDowell', 'Clotilde Soupert' and a lagniappe 'Cardinal de Richelieu'. I ordered these from Long Ago Roses in NC, and couldn't have had a nicer ordering experience. I highly recommend that you check out Linda Loe's inventory on HMF. Or just e-mail to ask for suggestions from her stock. All plants were received in great shape despite this being the hottest day I can recall this year. (Of course, it would be...) True to her reputation, 'Annie Laurie' arrived with buds on- and a flower that was a bit wilted thanks to 119F heat index (but it was beautifully fragrant). I was pretty wilted, too, and after potting up all three darlings, treated myself to a second shower. I'm not planning on any September orders, but I am mulling over a possible day trip to Laurens sometime this fall to see what's blooming at RU. If they have 'Comtesse Festetics Hamilton' in stock, I may need to bring her back to Charleston with me. And I can check out the rose gardens in Orangeburg on my way up... Happy ordering! |
