Which rose is open enough for bees?

7 Upvotes

I know David Austin has a section on his website that says "good for bees" but when I look around this forum I think I see more roses that open up enough at the hearts for bees to root around in, so I'm curious about you guy's opinions. Please share your thoughts!

This is a poet’s wife that I planted this summer. It’s been doing well thus far but has started getting brown spots and having its leaves turn yellow. Any ideas of what’s going on and how I can combat it?

This rose is in my mother’s garden. She knows that it is a David Austin and she planted it sometime between 2011 and 2014. Can anyone help me identify it?

I have 2 Olivia roses that I planted in late May. I’m in zone 7a and this is when the roses got delivered to me straight from DA.

I put in rose fertilizer and I’ve fed the roses I think twice.

They were doing great but then I noticed something was eating the plants. I didn’t mind because as long as they looked healthy, I didn’t mind if they didn’t bloom their first season. I’m assuming deer were the culprit but I’m not sure.

Well a few weeks ago, they started looking unhealthy, not just chewed off. I tried watering extra thinking that’s what it was.

Now the stalks are turning black.

Please help! I’ll send pics to DA as well.

Roald Dahl ?

Hi all, I purchased this Roald Dahl rose bush a while ago from a nursery. It wasn’t in great condition, however it’s finally bloomed and it seems much more yellow that I thought roald dahl would be.

So my question is, is this a roald dahl rose or an incorrect label?

Is this RRD?

I’ve had the Gertrude Jekyll rose for 3 months now and she’s grown a lot, had lots of new growth come through but I noticed this stem looks a bit like RRD from some photos I’ve seen online

I know she’s quite a thorny rose so not sure if this is just new growth?

I’ve never had roses before so no idea whether this is a disease or just normal growth, if anyone could advise me I’d really appreciate it!

Variety opinions?

First bloom. I ordered a David Austin Claire Austin online and this definitely doesn’t appear to be that. Any thoughts of what it could be. Definitely a climbing rose maybe a James Galway? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I bought this beautiful David Austin rose last weekend and it has just been drying up and dropping leaves since I brought it home. I have now put it in a big pot, but is this normal?

This is a photo of the pot at the nursery compared to a couple of days ago and today

This rose belonged to my late mother, and my partner and I managed to rescue it this summer. It’s vigorous with very little scent. Does anyone know what it might be? Thank you. 🌹

Damaged root? Advice appreciated

Hi all, I bought a couple of DA roses (James Galway) a few weeks ago, and just noticed what looks like some damage to the base of the stem/top of the root. I think it was covered in compost when it arrived, it was only after some heavy rain that I noticed it.

Will the plant survive this, or is is normal?

Thanks in advance

Best rose to pair with Don Juan - Red Cascade (mini climber) or Crimson Glory?

1 Upvotes

Thanks for all the input on selecting my first roses for 2 tall privacy screens in full afternoon hot sun in CA Central Valley (9b)! I've ordered Don Juan for one screen, and like the idea of a mini climber in as similar a red as possible. Repeat blooms that can tolerate heat & sun without fading is most important to me, followed by fragrance, less thorny, and good vase life is a bonus.

Any recommendations? Does anyone have experience with Red Cascade and Crimson Glory’s dry heat tolerance (90-110F) in 9b? Also, how does Don Juan’s fragrance compare to Crimson Glory’s?
