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.

Wow Comtesse thanks!! Morning glories are a lot better than the plain old white background!

No, don't apologise, this is fun!.. As I think you can see in the Redoute painting and the photo I mentioned earlier (I'm sorry, I'm too techno-challenged to even know how to post a link!) whole new little flowers can come through the button eye; the phenomenon was known as 'childing' by early botanists (as in, making baby flowers...). I think from studying photos, etc. that the first bits of green that poke through may be sepals which can potentially surround/develop into buds of a new 'child'. There certainly seems to be a lot of feathery green action going on in some gallica/damask/centifolia examples - you can see this better in another Redoute painting: Rosa Agatha Prolifera in WikiGallery ... But I'm no expert; I've only seen it in the R. paintings and in a few photographs, and read up on it a bit.

I had a whole bud develop out of a My Girl flower once. I thought it was gross so I clipped the flower and tossed it. I've been curious since then if the bud could've opened into another flower. Does anyone know?

Cecily, you're funny! on the right side I have a yellow lady banks that is about 2 years old and she wasn't doing that great. I bought her way before the arbor and the first year I started this gardening hobby so you know walk into lowes and buy anything on sale and then get home and do research! Yup! Then on the left I have a confederate jasmine. ☺️☺️ The lady yellow banks looks so bushy and green I can't wait for it to start blooming. From what I've heard that should swallow it. We'll see. I want all year long evergreen foliage so lady yellow banks does that for me. I'll have to figure something out for more blooms throughout the year though.

Good choice! Lady Banks should definitely do the job.

Crimson Glory is the most fragrant rose I have ever had. It is a dark velvet red. Check it out!

This looks wonderful! I see that it has a popular climbing sport as well
