r/Roses

Zone 6b, Toronto (CA)

Planted these roses last summer and they are already producing far more than I’d hoped for their 2nd year! Already excited to see what their 3rd year has in store for me. The addiction is real lol

Varieties are labelled in the third pic for anyone who is curious :)

Such a pretty rose it is… I am not sure about the variety though but it’s so beautiful and perfect rose

Saw this rose growing and the fragrance was quite different and complicated
Curious to know the variety so that I can grow them too ☺️

This was my first time planting roses. I got six end of season sale bare root roses from J&P (hybrid teas and florabundas). They were $10-$13 with $26 shipping and I figured if even two made it, I'd be satisfied. They shipped out the first week of June and took 6 days to get to the Seattle area. I thought a few of them looked less than healthy, but planted them all according to the J&P instructions. I'm happy to report they all have at least some growth after 2-3 weeks in ground.

I read a quite a few negative things about Jackson and Perkins roses on some gardening subreddits, and am pleased to report that was not my experience!

Hope that fits. The other ones in the background have just one flower each.

I just got this pretty sad looking Princess Alexandra of Kent very cheap, wondering how far back should I trim the black stems? Planning to repot asap, is there anything else I need to do to help it recover?

Today’s Rose of the Day is True Sincerity, a floribunda rose bred by Ping Lim in the US. It has amazing ruffled bicolor fragrant flowers, and it’s compact and healthy. It’s an easy-care rose with a high payout.

I told myself, “No more roses.” 🌹😂

…and then we drove past a greenhouse with a Fourth of July sale: 25% off all perennials — today only!
My willpower didn’t stand a chance.

Meet the newest additions to the garden: Desdemona and Gabriel Oak.

RI, USA 🇺🇸.

I've just planted my 6th rose Sheila's Perfume 😊 I'm absolutely excited to see my first flower, it shouldn't be too long as there are new shoots waking up all over the place.

David Austin Olivia and poet’s wife, I live in central Texas. I used bio advanced 3 in 1 with dial hose end sprayer, not sure if I have done enough.

Can anyone help me with what is happening too two different roses of mine I’ve never had them had new growth come in like this

Bought 2 bare root roses that unfortunately arrived while I was away for 2 weeks, so they spent an extra week in the wrapped plastic bag surrounded by whatever they pack it with (peat moss??). The instructions say it’s important to soak them in water for 12-24 hours so they get a good drink but I can see there’s already buds forming and the bag they came in was still nice and damp when I unpacked them today so I’m assuming they were drinking the moisture from that. When I rinsed them in this bucket I could see lots of fine white roots forming too. I’m just impatient and want to plant them now! 😅

I also took smaller cutting and they are in water. No drooping or dead spots

Location is NE edge of Anchorage 1/4 mile inland from Knik Arm. Zone 3. Very fragrant. Assuming Rugosa. Person giving it to me called it a “pink hansa.” I have Hansa roses. Their blossoms are the typical Hansa magenta. Growth habit and cane coloration rule out Therese Bugnet. Suckers readily. Leaves smooth and flat

Pics 1 & 2: Bolero (smells absolutely divine, so many more blooms to come)
Pics 3 & 4: Moonlight in Paris (pretty but the blooms last like 2 days and not a huge fan of the fragrance tbh)
Pic 5: St. Tropez about to bloom for the first time!

Still waiting on my peach and apricot drift to open up, the peach drift has at least 75 buds. Can’t wait.

Such a pretty beauty… a pure and stunning… something can’t be compared with anything else
