| Hey does anyone grow this rose? If so would you be interested in getting rid of some suckers? or a trade? This is a rare rose. I tried pickering, but the min. order is three roses and the only other place is RVR. I'll probably go with rogue valley if noone is interested in a exchange, Thanks and Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum! Just figured it would get read faster here :) |

| BTW has anyone grown pandemonium? I know it's off topic but was ordering this, along with afew other's from RVR next spring and wanted to see if anyone grows it. If anyone does please share any thought's you may have on it. Much Appreciated! |

| Is Pickering a good place to order? What are their roses grafted on? Dr. Huey? Thanks for any help! Which rootstock would be better for my area, Dr. Huey or Fortunia? I have sand on clay, Thanks! |

| I can't give you solid advice as I am new as well but I can answer a few of your questions based on information I have gathered from here. Pickering is a very well respected nursery that many, many people from here order from. I am in the process of placing an order with them myself. Pickering grafts on to multiflora stock. I have this rose on order for next year but am ordering it from Palatine Roses. It is also available from Hortico Nurseries among a few others :) Hope this helps a little. SCG |

| Thanks SCG at least I got a answer for some of Questions :) Pickering is a little cheaper than Palatine, but I'll wait to see if anyone can give me a insite on would it be better grafted or own root. Thanks for the info you gave me. I wonder on multiflora would do in my soil? If anyone else can chime in please do! |

| From what I have read Multiflora and Dr. Huey do pretty well everywhere except in Florida they like Fortuniana. I can't comment on own root vs grafted as I don't have any personal experience. I have read arguments for both sides and have read that it is possible that having it grafted may help stop it from suckering. You can always buy it grafted then take cuttings and start it own root. Then you can see for yourself :) FWIW, I believe Hortico will ship single plants. SCG |

| Palatine has my budwood of Duchesse de Montebello which is a really god one. I have posted a photo of mine on this Antique Forum so you can see it. |

| lynnette do you have a picture of the whole bush? |
|
| Thanks Lynnette and SCG for the help! |
|
| Sorry, but I don't. In my garden it grows into a 3 to 4 foot wide and about 5 feet tall bush with no straggly branches. I really do think it would be ideal as a specimen bush. |

| Thanks anyways Lynnette and a big thanks for allowing us a chance at these fine roses. I hope Palatine stocks them long enough for me to acquire each one. SCG |
|
| This is one of the few Gallicas I have that does NOT sucker on its own roots, or at least very little. I agree that it's an ideal specimen bush. I believe both Pickering and Palatine sell grafted plants on multiflora stock. Rogue Valley is one source I know for this rose on its own roots. |

| I had no idea this rose was so hard to find -- now I feel guilty for not having planted mine yet (it's tucked into the over-wintering area with a dozen others, in their pots and covered with mulch). When I saw what I had left over after putting things into the main areas, I asked my neighbors (who share the back yard with me) how they felt about me planting things in front and on the side of their house. I got the OK. Alana, mine came as an own-root band from Rogue Valley Roses this Spring. I posted a thread a while back asking about how much suckering-spread I should expect from my Gallicas and Hybrid Chinas, and 'Duchesse de Montebello' was among the few mentioned as staying relatively put. It put on a nice amount of growth in the past few months, so also don't worry about having a wimpy rose after its first year if you go own-root. This is how it looked when it came in late April 2013:
A flower in late May: Unfortunately, that was the last pic I took of it, but it's at least three feet tall now. :-) ~Christopher |

| OHH! Christopher she's beautiful!!! How did that one bloom smell for you? I'll just have to get her from RVR with that beautiful pic!! |
