Miranda Lambert rose
Comments (111)Oh Cahnde You are the perfect person to discuss heat with Ben! I envy his beautiful roses, but when I try them here, they look awful. Dry heat vs humid heat, it seems to make a huge difference. For example, his Rosie the Riveter is one of the most beautiful I've seen, but this year is the best mine has been, and it looks like this: Carla in Sac...See MoreRate your newer lavender roses, etc.
Comments (23)Thanks everyone, appreciate everyone’s input. I planted QUICKSILVER this year, I ordered it from Edmunds, I think it’s own root, I’ve been pleased so far. VIOLET’S PRIDE - Planted this one last year, own root. Seems like a good rose, some of the pictures I’ve seen from others are gorgeous! POSEIDON on Multiflora - Definitely my most vigorous lavender right now, bloomed almost continuously through June, but I think has suffered from heat fatigue like most of my roses. I really love this rose. I have two, the one I planted last year seems to be on track to be just as vigorous as my established one. I’m probably the only one who will hang on to a wimpy bush just because I love the few gorgeous, fragrant blooms it produces, that would be ROYAL AMETHYST, to me the blooms are worth it! The bush has put on some new growth, so I can wish! Dr. Huey. My PLUM PERFECT on Multiflora started out really good its first year in a pot, put it in the ground last year, did pretty good. Thought it was doing good, but got infected with something, seems to be recovering, so I’ll wait and see. LOVE SONG on Dr. Huey - In more recent years this rose hasn’t been that vigorous, but I’m hoping since I got my rose beds cleaned out and with some TLC this one will do better....See MoreMy experience with buying roses online
Comments (46)MNDutch RoseGuy Thank you for the fantastic report on nurseries, I never buy from Edmunds roses after googling "The scoop on .. name of nursery", this gives customers' reviews on any nursery. https://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/123/0/ How do you like the own-roots bought from Roses Unlimited this summer sale? Nurseries that I bought own-root roses from are: Regan, Burlington, Heirloom, Chamblee's, High Country Roses, Roses Unlimited. Right now I'm debating if I should buy State of Grace for $16 from Northland Rosarium ... shipping charge is $20 for 2 roses, but Andrew is excellent in customer service. Della Reese is wimpy as grafted-on-Dr.Huey (got from local Menards store for $6 as bare-root). It didn't even flower for 1st year, so I killed it. Grafted-on-Dr.Huey declines drastically after 2nd-year in my zone 5, so I no longer buy grafted-on-Dr.Huey unless it's flowering lots in a pot at local store. Very happy with the 6 roses I bought from Roses Unlimited this June 2020 summer sale, they are 3 times taller than the 4 bands I got from High Country Roses late May 2020. The bands from High Country Roses are so short that they got eaten by bunnies this fall. For dense & thick and alkaline clay like mine, just a bare-stick Dr.Huey-roostock doesn't sprout roots well, even when bought from Regan Nursery, such as Young Lycidas (grafted-on-Dr.Huey) died through its first zone 5 winter. The blooming power of 3 own-roots roses (large bare-sticks) from Regan Nursery is less than the blooming power of 3 own-roots roses (in pots) from Roses Unlimited. In the past decade of buying 130 own-root varieties, I find that alfalfa meal is a must for growth-hormone, it's worth making a special trip to the feed-store for a 40 lb. bag of alfalfa meal to mix with potting soil or to top my clay. Roses Unlimited recommends mixing 2 cups of alfalfa meal or 1 cup Mills Magic Rose Mix in the planting hole. Below is a tiny band of Crimson Glory (bought from Burlington) producing 4 bud/blooms after 1 month of purchase, fertilized with alfalfa meal....See MoreRoses that do well even when you're unbelievably bad at growing them
Comments (74)Diane not only is that a stunning example of a Black Lace Elderberry, but also I'm amazed that it let you prune it that way. Mine is a total diva about pruning. Cut mine anywhere back of the blooms even slightly - like maybe tip pruning or cutting off a few crispy leaves - and the entire branch rather dramatically dies down to the ground. Every time. No exceptions. I even have some thick branches that are totally dead that I'm leaving for fear of disturbing the rest. I've gotten so I don't do anything but finger prune off the blooms and I do even that gingerly so that I don't disturb anything else about Her Highness's eccentric hair-do. Mine is robustly winter hardy but after shedding 50% of her branches if I dare to brush against them too roughly, mine is still rather sparse at about 6-7' of limp "I vant to be alone" lounging against the 5' wire green fence I use to keep her together and out of harm's way. Yep, she's my Greta Garbo of shrubs. Suited for Sweden and lovely when she's happy but a spoiled headache when she's not. Cynthia...See More
