| TNY, your roses are wonderful. I really like your Good'n'Plenty and Hot Cocoa. You captured the color of HC better than I usually can. Kathy |

| Perle d'Or is so strange looking. Loved the Pope. Haven't seen Pomponella for a long time. Keep it going please..... |

| You have a lot of things blooming, TNY, and they're all lovely! You too, Jim! Love that OTB! Haven't been out yet today but here are a few from yesterday. |

| I'm a day late but I couldn't resist sharing the the photos I took today. Buff Beauty - This is my second year growing this rose and these blooms have the best color yet. Bishop Darlington Autumn Subset Golden Buddha Gold Medal Molineux This year I've had dueling flushes between Molineux and Julia Child, one or the other has been blooming it's head off all season but never both at the same time. I hope everyone is having a good day, especially those of you over on the East Coast in hurricane country, we're all thinking of you and hoping for the best! |
|
| Jim, Love your Outta the Blue...Mine has had a slow start, but is finally doing well! Peachymomo, Love Buffy Beauty, I wish it were hardy in my zone! Do you have any problems with your Molineux and BS? I would love to add another Austin yellow, and I love the shade of Molineux... Seil, I just purchased Red Intuition from Vintage a couple of weeks ago. I know I'm out of hardiness zone with it, but I just had to have it! It's so tiny right now (about 4 inches..lol) I've just moved it to a bigger pot for the time being...I wanted to ask you, since you're in my zone, if you have yours in the ground or in a container? If it's in the ground, how are you winterizing it? I've been so careful with zones, and this year I've just decided to try a couple zone 7's and hope for the best :) I've added a couple of pics from today also...I couldn't resist...every day there's something new! That's what I love! Coral Drift Dream Weaver Charles Darwin (who has decided to turn apricot this year....not sure why???) Souv de St Anne's Prairie Star |

| So many beauties! Too much to digest in one posting. Jeri Jennings, Belinda's Dream, Dream Come True, Prairie Star, Iobelle--these were some of my favorites. Too many to scroll back; many of these deserve a separate post! |
|
| TNY, more beauties! Love that Dream Weaver! Is your RI own root or grafted? I got mine 3 years ago grafted on multiflora from Steve at Wisconsin Roses. It's been potted all along and it grows like a weed! I was worried too the first winter. It was a first year budded maiden when I got it and was still fairly small going into winter. I needn't have worried. Came out of winter green to the tips and has never looked back! It blooms in big flushes all season. It does black spot though. But how could you care about a few spots when the blooms are that lovely! If you have an unheated garage or shed you can winter it in there. Put it up off the floor on something and remember to give it some water once a month all winter. As for how I winterize my pots, well, I don't have a garage and not enough room in the shed for all 30 (last year it was 60) of my pots. The only one that goes into the shed is the tree rose. The rest go into my winter pot ghetto along the back (south) wall of my house. I've explained it before but here it is again. I put all the pots together in the 3 ft. wide veggie garden strip between the brick wall of the house and my concrete patio. It's a warm micro climate there. I drive in 4 ft. wooden stakes and staple burlap all the way around them and then pack it with leaves. This usually happens Thanksgiving weekend or the first weekend in December and they come out the first week of April when the stuff underneath them starts to come up. Thank you, mantis! Oh, go back and look again, lol! |

| Thanks for the detailed response Seil...I feel better about this coming winter now. My Red Intutition is own root. So far it has only gone from the original band sized container it came in, to a one gallon tera cotta pot (which I think should hold it until the spring). I only have about 8 or 9 container roses right now, so I guess I can fit them in the garage...I'll have to divide it into a his/hers side to keep my other half happy...lol! If not I wonder if my crawl space under the house might be an option (it's about 4 ft high)...looks like I have a lot of work to do this coming fall! |
|
| I don't know about the crawl space. I've never heard anyone do that before so I can't say how it would work. You don't want it to be too warm or they won't go dormant and stay dormant until spring which is what you want. And it has to be some place you can get into easily enough to water them. Dehydration will kill them quicker than anything else. Maybe you can negotiate for some garage space? |

| TNY, your Cardinal Hume is lovely. Is it mostly red for you, or does it get mauve looking? I love the red, but I am afraid I would not like it if it looked too washed out. Does it rebloom well for you? Renee |
|
| Thanks Seil....the garage it is! I would hate to risk losing them... Renee, My Cardinal Hume is mostly a deep purple/mauve (almost similar to my gallica, Tuscany Superb in coloring). I like it because it's a newer rose, but has that old rose coloring to it. Mine tends to stay more on the purple/mauve side more than anything. As for rebloom, it's not my best performer, but it does have about 3-4 flushes per season here in Tennessee, but I would imagine you would have more than that in CA. :) Here is a picture of the same bloom once it opened...it actually looks more red in this picture, than it does in person...

| Molineux has been very disease resistant for me here in Ca, the only problem I've ever had is when I didn't prune one spring and it grew into a tangled mess with small blooms. |
|
| So many lovely pics, a great post. Pink Promise is in bloom, likes to bloom all summer.

| Just wanted to tell everybody how beautiful your roses are. I chopped mine way back in hopes of a nice fall flush. I have decided not to purchase anymore roses but after looking at this thread I may have to change my mind. lol! Thanks for sharing your beauties, Judy |

I have SI, baby Austin, and Sweet Fairy among the hopefuls and would like to know what looks right for these little guys. Thanks for any pictures you can post and I will get my Babies up soon. |
