Its funny that you got your Jolly Roger at Lowes or HD. I got mine this year from Vintage. I'll have to look in their catalog and see where there mother plant came from :)

Tammy

With so many different roses, you still have room for non-roses too.
Thank you, for all your posts.

What does the entire bush look like Beth? Thanks

Thanks Inga. Yeah, I do have lots of non-roses. In fact, way too many. I'm digging out a lot of perennials that I've planted over the yrs because some have become too invasive.

Jim, GRAND AMORE is in a 16-18" pot. The plant has gotten pretty big. It's about 3ft wide and over 4ft high. I imagine if it were in the ground it'd be even bigger.

Lesley I'm lovin' APERITIF. I waited for years for Vintage to finally offer it not as a custom root. It's been kinda slow growing, but I'm sure now it will take off.

Mzstitch, DEBORAH MONCRIEF is a decent rose. It's just that, there were two versions, the other being the McGredy rose DEBORAH BEGGS MONCRIEF, which was what I thought I was getting. That rose was an red-orange with yellow reverse. It's one of those Hortico roses that they listed the rose and showed the wrong version. I should've known, since this one is the Williams version, and Hortico intro'd a lot of his roses. The color is similar to another rose I find rather boring, SONIA. And I planted it in my red & yellow bed, so it looks out of place. The plant gets huge, like 4ftx6ft and is pretty thorny. With all the roses I have that need to get in the ground, it just makes sense to get rid of it. Someone in our rose society will enjoy having it I'm sure.

Dove-song, DOLORES HOPE is one of the Weeks roses only available from Armstrong Nurseries. I think I got mine way back when they did mail order for a couple of yrs there. Too bad they don't still do so. They have quite a lot of roses only available from them. I know there are a few very nice people here on the forums who have been kind enough to go pick up some of those roses at bare root time, and ship to others across the country. There aren't any Armstrong Nurseries near me. They're all down south.
