Spikeyguy -- there is some conjecture that 'Baby Faurax' is a dwarf repeat-blooming sport of 'Veilchenblau'. I don't grow either, so I can go by only pics at HelpMeFind. Be aware that some nurseries sell 'Raymond Privat' as 'Baby Faurax', so you might have to do some sleuthing to find the real one. And there are a few other Polyanthas of similar coloring which you may wish to investigate. If this was my project, I'd get 'Veilchenblau' and give it a couple years to gain size, all the while evaluating which Polyantha(s) I'd wish to bud onto it. This may involve buying them at the same time and growing them on in pots.

I have heard that Purple Skyliner is like a repeating Veilchenblau. I got one but haven't seen it bloom yet. Veilchenblau:

Reagan has a good selection, palatine has a few, and Austin has some. They are sold as annuals to my zone but your zone should be lots easier Go to their websites. I love them, too. Your pic is beautiful..

If I can do it, anyone can

I can't grow roses on multiflora (which is what Paletine offers). If only someone would graft standards on fortuniana!

Hmmm....when I installed it, the icon showed up immediately and I was able to change the background - without restarting Firefox or my computer.

It affects the look of other parts of Houzz, so if you used Houzz before the GW merge, you might be careful! I like the look of it (Morning Glory) while checking out the other parts of Houzz, too, so it's all good for me :)

Just FYI, sawdust can also look delightful used for paths, esp. the informal, narrow woodland-type, since it blends in beautifully with the natural environment. I'm guessing this may only really work in dryer climates; the sawdust may just rot down too quickly in wetter areas.

I'd agree with Wirosarian about avoiding anything with toxic substances in it, eg chemically-treated pine, laminated plywoods, composite board, etc. - especially if you may be using the compost for anything edible.

Treated lumber treated with cca is still sold today so be careful. It uses copper, chromium and arsenate a form of arsenic which is a pesticide. CCA in not used in Homes or play grounds anymore but is still sold. All treated lumber does contain pesticides in case thats important to you.

Great Valentine gift. If you don't get a tub of good manure, then fine chocolates are next best. Aah, a gardener's dream gift--chocolates and manure and a new rose. Diane

Tell him to do better next time with a check attached. :-) I'd dump all of it on his head. It's just me. :-)

I won novice queen with St. Patrick. Pacific Celebration is another one of his great roses. He will be missed, but his roses live on.

Here it isn't growable without a spray program. I've seen it under those conditions, and it blooms once then defoliates.

My guess is that HMF is saying it blackspots fairly badly, but is at least reasonably resistant to rust and mildew.

The following is a 2012 PDF download report from U. California, Davis which reports finding low numbers of CNRNV infections in their Prunus species collection (Cherry 4%, peach 3.2%, and plum 2.5%). Unfortunately, they do not know the countries of origin of their infected plants.

"EVALUATION OF THE PHYTOSANITARY STATUS OF THE PRUNUS SPECIES IN THE NATIONAL CLONAL GERMPLASM REPOSITORY IN CALIFORNIA: SURVEY OF VIRUSES AND VIROIDS"

I think it could be correct. The pale pink looks right and the form. The darker petal edges may just be from the conditions it was growing in when it bloomed. I would wait for it to bloom again before making any decision. Make sure you get pictures of all the bloom stages and the leaves to repost then.

Just in case any unsuspecting soul runs across the alias for Summerstone, AUTUMNRIDGE NURSERY is the same outfit. Beware!

I think the top one is called 'Love and Peace' I have that one and it looks exactly the same.

I have two more pictures taken from the same plant. Please note they have very clear stripes. Do they look like Tropical Sunset?

s, we're a few miles apart. One day I hope to visit Florida. It sounds lovely there...and warm. I noticed that it has a bit of die-back on some of the branches from winter and just now I see new leaves are beginning to bud out. I think I can prune it back now. I am so excited that spring is on it's way and soon we'll be out enjoying the sun and our gardens again.

There are some beautiful free standing roses for your zone. I like to use garden arches to support them and add some zing to my garden but the ones I am about to list could be grown free standing or on an arch or support. Good luck with your search.

Wasagaming, Magnificia, Sympathie, William Baffin, New Dawn, John Cabot, Laguna, Viking Queen, Bonica, Teasing Georgia, Quadra. I think there are lots others but those are the only ones I can think of right now. With the earth covered in several feet of snow it is hard to imagine the garden in bloom.

I gardened over 20 years in zone 4 (I only moved to a "balmy" zone 5 two years ago) and grew hundreds of roses there so here's my list of tall roses that were absolutely cane hardy year after year in zone 4:
Alba Semi-plena 7'
Canary Bird 8'
John Davis 8'
Mary Queen of Scots 7'
Morning Blush 8'
Rosa glauca 10'
Rosa villosa pomifera 6'
William Baffin 10'
Victorian Memory (aka Isabella Skinner) 12'
Hattie Burton 10'
Applejack 7'
Champagne Arches (aka Nancy Parker) 10'
Fruhlingsduft 6'
Geschwind's Schonste 6' zone 4, now 12' zone 5
Lillian Gibson 8'
Sydonie 6'
And I could probably add more that would be 5 to 6' tall if I thought about it, but those I've mentioned should give you more to look up.
