| Oh, yum, yum...as ever your roses and photos are gorgeous. I have wanted Zaide for at least two years, so it's nice to see a beautiful close up of her. How does she grow for you? Great photo of Young Lycidas, too. He is doing so well for me--one of Austin's best, I think. It was wonderful to see so many roses that were new to me. I wish I had them all. Thanks for posting these pics. Diane |

| Thank you, Diane. I have three Zaide bushes in my garden. All three are growing wonderfully. They make quite large bush, nice and thick, they are V-shaped with slightly arching strong branches. This rose is a great bloomer and the flowers are always large and very full regardless of the weather. It also sets really pretty hips - large and olive shaped. Here are couple more pictures of Zaide

| Beautiful, and so healthy looking. Thank you for posting these pics. I'm going to have to get her. Just wish I had more room! Diane |
|
| Lovely, unusual roses. So healthy Did you know that "RÄ«rausma" translates from Latvian, as morning light or dawn? |

| Inga, thank you very much for translation of the name, it suits this rose wonderfully. I love Ritausma a lot, may be that's why I have more than a dozen of them in my garden:)))) I wish I could try some other rugosas by D. Rieksta, but they are very hard to find here. Marina |
|
| I want Zaide now too! Quite the beauty. Thanks for posting the addittional pictures, sometimes its nice to take more of a look at the plant then just the blooms. I'm going to have to see if Roses Unlimited carries that one. Rosarium Uetersen has to be my second favorite. Beautiful! |
|
| Your roses are always so pretty, Marina~ I especially like Rococo. It's a perfect milky color. The same reason I really love Austin's The Nun..perfect creamy whites! I also can't believe how much fuller your Antico Amore blooms are! I guess thats the difference between a mature bush and my 2 year old one :) Tammy |

| I have Rosarium Uetersen too! Mine overwintered outside right next to the house. How's that for hardy - zone 3!! This is its 2nd year. How do you like yours? Does it get very large? Carol |

| mzstitch, Zaide is also available from Palatine in Canada. Palatine's roses are grafted on multiflora rootstock which can sometimes be a problem in alkaline soil, which I have. I've had mixed results with this rootstock. But after the roses are mature the multiflora doesn't seem to matter as much. Diane |

| Carol, WOW! Zone 3 winter survivor! That is great. My Rosarium Uetersen is not planted very smartly - I absolutely don't want a 'climber' in that area. So, I prune mine by about 1/3 every spring. My rose is about 4 years old, it is very wide - about 6' and not so tall - about 3'. This year spring flush was out of this world, I literally could not see the leaves. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera then. |

| Wow!! Six feet wide!!!! Mine is about 2 feet X 2 feet. Not very big. Maybe it'll grow larger in its 2nd year. Too bad you didn't have your camera. Would have loved to have seen that!!! Carol |

| Wspaniale roze pnace. Super zdjecia. Poprosze o wiecej. Poydrawiam. |

| Marina, you have such impeccable taste in choosing beautiful and romantic-looking roses. The only one I have of your lovely bunch is Potter and Moore, which I'm very happy with. I'm surprised this rose isn't grown more; it's really beautiful and mine has had no disease problems and has handled the high heat this summer really well, even though it's a young own-root plant. |
