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:

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:
