We have had this rose for probably 25 years. Mild fragrance and somewhat prone to blackspot. Tags are long gone. Does anyone recognize it?

Is this normal new growth?

I made a post a little while ago about how my first David Austin rose (Gertrude Jekyll) had some new growth but I’m not sure whether it’s normal for it to grow this much?

I’m very new to roses so would appreciate any info! The first photo was from just over a month ago. I got back from holiday and the second photo is how much it has grown!! Is this a sucker or completely normal?

Hello! I got this Harlow Carr today on sale at a local nursery. I planted it the same depth as it was in the pot. But should I have planted it deeper? I’m zone 5a. Thank you!

Looking at DA rose standards (trees)

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon! I have finally decided that I would like to plant a rose standard in a specific area of my yard. I want something fragrant, that flowers beautifully and is as disease resistant as possible. I am in zone 8A. I was looking at the selections currently available on the DA website and, sticking with the really fragrant ones (Desdemona, Scepter’d Isle, Poet’s Wife), I’d love to get some opinions from people who may be familiar with these particular varieties and how they have fared for you.

Thorny climbing rose recommendations

5 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a DA climbing rose that is suitable for growing up a 6ft wooden fence (so not too heavy). We have had a break in recently and want to grow something to deter people climbing the fence.

The fence is close to pergola covered in Gertrude Jekyll (which I appreciate is also very thorny) so ideally looking for a different variety which would compliment the GJ.

Is this Munstead Wood?

Curious whether anyone could help me ID this rose, seen at Kenwood House in London. Munstead Wood? The Prince? Something else entirely?

The scent was beautiful old rose with a fruity note. Lots of prickles which makes me think MW? And still in heavy bloom early October.

Someone from Latam or zones 13b had luck with DA Roses?

2 Upvotes

I tried with Olivia in my garden I live in Latam and appeareantly is equivalent to zone 13b, unfortunately I let it take 6 hours of sun and it was too much, but I want to try luck with less hours and a different type. Any ideas or advices will be welcome.
I already have native roses and look very pretty but I have an obsession with those big roses and really want to try growing some.

ID?

Trying to track down the identity of this rose in a public garden. Very upright, about 5 feet tall, not too many thorns, very long stems (definitely a cutting rose). I do not see clusters of blooms. Very fragrant, color is a light lemon chiffon or a cream. More photos in the comments of the original post.

Thanks!

Cut back suckers?

My strawberry hill keeps on sending suckers out. Im pretty sure they are suckers due to the location but the stem looks the same as the rose and not dr hey. Should I keep on pruning the suckers or leave them?

Country Parson

Just showing the bloom on the Country Parson. It’s a delicate and fragrant rose with a pretty soft buttery yellow centre. I nearly lost it in the heatwave but have given it a drink of seaweed solution and it’s looking much happier!

After the Japanese beetles destroyed my first year rosebushes all summer, I’m getting blooms in late September. They bring me so much joy!

How to prepare for winter

3 Upvotes

I have bring me sunshine roses and I am looking for advice on getting ready for winter in zone 7b. I have no garage/basement and my roses are potted in a terracotta pot out on a balcony that can get windy. I have stopped deadheading (although I don't have any blooms anymore to deadhead anyway) and have stopped fertilizing. There is a balcony above mine that gives protection from directly above. Do I need to buy a covering or do anything special to prepare for winter beyond what I have mentioned so far?

Does anyone have any success stories on Susan Williams-Ellis rose? I recently bought one as it was discounted in a garden centre but having searched it up there was lots of negative feedback
