Equally Nosy about Oneta Home Saffron

| Vintage has put out the last of its new offerings and this golden apricot tea rose, small and with rapid rebloom, is one of them. Its color is said to be almost unique among tea roses and of course I had to have it. Does anyone have any information about it? I'm surprised it's still available. I thought a tea rose this unique would have been snapped up very quickly. Another one that caught my interest was ORG (Oakland Rose Garden) Renae Seedling which sounds phenomenal.

| It grows at the SJHRG. The color is like a more saturated Lady Hillingdon, or maybe Buff Beauty. The bush is not too big at all (probably around 4') and speading and dense. The blooms are muddled. There is a good tea fragrance. I think I posted a few pictures on the Antique gallery. Masha |

| mashamcl, any chance you could post it again? I couldn't find your pics using the gallery search function. Thanks! Ingrid, bet I got my order in before you! |

| If you search under Oneto rather than Oneta you'll find the picture. The color is pretty but I have to admit that the form, at least in this picture, does not seem to be the greatest. Oh well, I'll just have to see how it does in my garden. Masha, I didn't detect any great enthusiasm in your description above. Have you had this rose long, and would you order it again after having grown it? Ingrid |

| Do try it, Ingrid. I almost did, but I think I may be too cold for her. |

| I was told to deffinately get the Renae seedling. Another rose on the list that I've wanted for years is the Climbing Ophelia Type. It is very beautiful growing in San Jose. There are a very few each of these things so snap them up! |

Here are the pics. A few caveats: the bloom on the pic is the only one I could find with color left - the bush was just done blooming. So perhaps it is not very representative, I don't know. I am not very familiar with the rose. Also, forgive the terrible quality of the bush shot, my point-and-shoot can't do any better than that. As I said the bush was done blooming, so not much color. Hopefully, you can see a fairly short, dense, wider-than-tall bush. That's the best I can do. The blooms were not the biggest of teas (I thought it was another Buff Beauty when I saw it from a distance).
The tag does say "Oneto" on it, I don't know which is right.
Hope it helps.

| Thank you Masha. Having grown Buff Beauty, I'm convinced this is not one. Your first shot does look quite a bit like the picture on Vintage. At any rate it will be an interesting rose to have in my garden. It does seem quite floriferous and Vintage states rapid rebloom. Pam, I wish I had room for the Renae seedling. If you buy it I hope you'll keep us updated with pictures. It sounds spectacular. I only wish there had been a picture on Vintage. Ingrid |

| Thanks Masha, glower AND bush always help for placement even if they are at the end of the flush. I've gotten so many pink OGRs lately, I've been hunting for yellows, so I think I'll be happy with mine. I love the blousy bloom. |

| Gregg apparently spelled the name wrong when he collected it. It is Oneto Home Saffron, not Oneta. Jill |
