What do you mean by High BS Pressure? Do you just mean that you have a lot of pressure to treat the roses or are you referring to a method by with which you treat the roses?

Hi Terryjean

wondering...do/does Denver's Dream and/or Hot Tamale have thorns?

Thanks!

Great photos of those beautiful, large blooms. I can almost smell them. Just Joey is a great bush, isn't it?

Ohhhh - just what my poor zone 3 heart needs to see.
It's foggy and cold here - blech. All my roses are still in the garage.
Sigh - you're roses are gorgeous.
I especially like Monet. Love that color of pink.
Thank you!

Rhapsody in Blue would be great in San Fran. It hates heat, so you're in just about the perfect climate for it. I have fog here in my coastal canyon in SoCal, that it loves. Stormy Weather would also be nice, as would Purple Splash (if she likes stripes). All do well in your clime, and none of the three gets any significant mildew. That's a six foot wrought iron fence in this pic of Rhapsody in Blue:

I forgot to mention Blue Bayou. It was about 6 feet when I cut it way back a few days ago. Its blooms are a beautiful bluish lavender, but they shrivel in our hot dry summer heat. I'll bet it would do better in your climate. But it is gorgeous in spring and fall for us. Diane

I think "seductive" is the word we're all searching for. I know I would be proud as possible to have raised that seedling! Kim

Do have to agree that the rose is NOT Angel Face, wrong form, wrong color, not enough petals.

No blotch at all in the center so it isn't EFY. BFY is probably the one. Lucky you!!

Kim and everyone, great photos!

Lux, Banksiae "Snowflake" is the name the nurseries have applied to plain old Fortuniana. When you find Snowflake at places like Home Depot and Lowe's, you get Fortuniana.

You should also look at Banksiae lutescens, the single yellow Banksiae. Both doubles are flowering and nearing their end here. Lutescens has already flowered and is pushing new flower clusters as it did last year. Not a "repeat", but a continuation of the first flush. It has a scent I can detect which neither double form possesses. When I collect a jar of anthers for pollen, their dried scent is a very strong clove. Kim

For me, it would be CL Cecil Brunner.
I have a little one at home (aggressively pruned every winter)

A neighbor has one that climbs up their 30+ foot Magnolia Grandiflora. During spring, the whole block smells like heaven.

I just keep roses mulched with wood chips and use organic granular fertilizer (Dr Earth) and alfalfa meal...
Shredded leaves, etc.
I don't mess with manures anymore...

I quit buying bagged manures when I read they were contaminated with herbicide.

Maybe we will need to replace our lawns with alfalfa or clover or alsike to obtain mulch for our roses.

Not much even there, but there's an entry on HMF, and some lovely photos.

Here's the link to the page...

Thank you for your help in establishing an ID for my rose. The thing that is striking about the blooms, other than the constantly changing of color, is that the mature blooms have petals that curl back deeply (quilled?).

I go with seil on this one--though one wonders how soon global warming will affect the last frost date in many locations.

I'm in Zone 6 also.

Velvet Fragrance because Kim said it was his favorite red and another Medallion because I am finding out that Medallion has little variations and I am looking for the one I used to have. The one on the left is Duchesse de Rohan. I am finally giving away all of my Charles Lawson and that leaves a big area open.

Love Northland Rosariums roses. Can hardly wait for California Dreamin' and St. Patrick. Carol's hubby is bringing them to my home! Fantastic roses and rose growers! :) P.S. St. Patrick is already sold out so folks who really want this rose might check for next year! I ordered mine early in the season.

I don't like Rainbow Knock Out. The blooms fade color fast, and (I think) they look ratty when they get old. I don't recommend it when asked.

Diane thank you for the comment. When looking at roses on the web they always show just the perfect blossom and you don't get a feel for the whole bush in all stages. I am in zone 5. Do you have any suggestions for a rose that would bloom all summer? I certainly don't want ratty looking as these will be prominent next to our main door into the house.

Sounds to me like you did just fine! Now you just need to be patient and wait for the roots to grow back.

II would wait to give it any more fertilizer until after first bloom. In the meantime just keep it watered and let it grow roots.

You can only upload one photo per post from your hard drive, Molly. For multiples, you need to use a Photobucket, Flickr or some other on line photo hosting account. From most of those, you can upload many photos per post. I use Flickr because it is easier for this, my blog and the Rose Hybridizers Association forum. But, many others use other photo sites with success. Kim

Granada is widely available in bodybags this year-- that's my guess.

Rouge Valley Roses in Oregon carries it, and says that it re-blooms constantly, and grows to 15-20 feet!

Have several scars from over the years. When I slice myself while working on a rose I'll rub the blood on that particular bush. Just a "quarky" thing of mine. By the way, if you can graft apples you can graft roses.
