Roses everywhere

 The different places you can find roses are incredible. In neighborhoods, parks, cemeteries, county fairgrounds, rose shows,  and of course nurseries. I am sure that if you look hard enough you can find them in places I didn't list. (I left off 5 places that I can think off the top of my head). Can anyone add to the list?

County fairgrounds, yes I am aware that there is powdery mildew but nothing I can do about that.

Golden Sunblaze

 Introduced in the US by Star roses in 1993. Ralph Moore also bred a Golden Sunblaze in 1977. I planted the 1993 version in an area that got a lot of reflected light and the plant just stressed, started dropping leaves. Once moved out of reflected light it has regrown leaves and put out new blossoms.

The Fairy

 Bred in 1932. Light pink in clusters. So far it seems to be about as tall as it is wide about 1.5 feet each way. It has been in the ground for a little less than a year, so it is still young. For more information:

Variegata di Bologna

Variegata di Bologna, a Bourbon rose from Italy. It is said to be a sport, or a mutation, of another rose. However there are references out there that imply that Variegata di Bologna was raised from seed. It is a once blooming rose, though there are also references that say it blooms sporadically though I have never seen that; nor know of anyone who has. This rose can grow long canes, suitable for tying horizontally or for pegging. Pegging is essentially growing it up and then bringing the cane back down to the ground so it makes a big upsidedown"U" shape. You can also use it as a background shrub where you don't have to fuss with it after the flowers are done.

A few random roses

 Just a few random roses that I have in my photo data base. Most of these roses are from pictures that I took while in Oregon. I don't know all the roses names. Every now and then I will be adding more random roses posts.

Duchesse de Brabant

 A pink tea rose, reported to be Theodore Roosevelt's favorite rose. It has multiple names to it, but this is the one that I bought it as. I have only had it since September 2020. It did get through the 2 week period in February that we got to around zero or a little below. It also has a white sport, mutation, called Madame Joseph Schwartz. Duchesse de Brabant does like to be watered well, so plant it in an easy place to get the hose to. For more information on Duchesse de Brabant:

Oscar Peterson

 A rose coming out of Canada, hardy down to zone 3. It is generally white, though it has a little yellow to the freshly opening flowers. Mine is about 3.5-4 feet tall. For more information:  https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.72986

Moonlight in Paris

 This is a rose that is growing at my work. It has only been there for a little more than a year. This spring's bloom was better than the plant's blooming was last year.  I think that it is due to it still being young in the ground and should get better and more consistent with age, hopefully.

Munstead Wood

 Bred by David Austin. Predominantly purple in color, but it can red out as well. It is fragrant. The Portland rose garden in Oregon has a bed of it along a walk way. That is where I am most familiar with it. I am growing it at work, but it has only been there since this year. Time will show what it will do. For more information:

Behind a group of lavender.

At Last

 This rose is currently at my work. It is healthy and reblooms pretty regularly. Helpmefind.com lists the color as apricot, but to me it looks more like a soft orange. The shape of the flowers I would call cupped. The growth seems to be more lax than upright. For more information:

Screaming Neon Red

Screaming Neon Red, bred by Ping Lim. I have only had this rose for about a month. It seems to start out a brighter red and then fade a little. I saw a bunch of these at a store and in mass they can be really bright. One in a garden it seems to be more agreeable than a mass. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on this rose, but for more information: https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.76519.2

 

Oneto Home Saffron

Found Tea rose. I purchased it in 2017 at the Sacramento City Cemetery. For the two summers that I had it in Salem it stayed about a foot and a half tall. Unfortunately it did not survive the move from ground to pot. For more information on this rose:

Happy accident

 This is a picture from a couple of roses that I grew in my Salem Oregon garden. I no longer have either rose. The rose in the front is Purple Tiger by Jack Christensen, introduced in 1991. The rose in background is Tricolore de Flandre, bred in 1844. It was by complete accident that these two roses were put next to each other. However the fact that Purple Tiger is a repeat blooming rose and Tricolore de Flandre is not it is nice that the stripes and purple are continued on.

Ellen Tofflemire

 Ellen Tofflemire, bred by Paul Barden

This is the first summer this plant has bloomed in my Missouri garden. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of blooms because the rabbits ate several of the canes right before they bloomed. 

Ellen Tofflemire is one of the new introductions to the Gallica class. You can find more information on this link:
