This is her first bloom. It already looked faded as a bud.
Once it opened, it's this really odd faded almost old looking bloom. It's only been open for one day!
Not unpretty, also not really showing as faded as IRL.
Anyone else have this particular variety and possibly some insight as to their experience with this plant?
The root to the left had about 3-4 inches of soil over it, the one on the back right had about two inches. They looked like separate plants. As I got deeper the more they looked connected. My question is, is this one plant or two? If it is one bush, can I salvage it?
Edit 1: I rent, I do not know the type of rose
Edit 2: I am not 100% sure they’re connected, there are two exposed roots. The one in the left is the main one, the second from left was not visible originally. The more I dug, the more it all looked connected.
It’s the beginning of winter here
I ordered a Crimson Cascade Climbing Rose from English Roses last year and it’s just bloomed but it looks nothing like the photos from the one I ordered? I have emailed them but they’re trying to tell me it’s natural colour variation but the petal pattern seems completely different. Does anyone know what rose I have received? I’m really disappointed and not sure how to dispute this.
I’m not sure how I was blessed with such a beautiful rose, but I’m loving this. It’s a pretty in pink Eden. My 14yo hs freshman is telling me it’s because of something called co-dominance:)
Would anyone know what kind of rose this is? my grandmother gave it to me from her garden last summer.
Sono alle prime armi con le rose, ma volevo condividere con voi la gioia di vederle sbocciare e ringraziare tutti per i molti utili consigli che ho trovato qui dentro, oltre alla continua ispirazione che traggo dai vostri post. Sono in zona 9a (credo, devo studiare meglio!) e queste sono tutte DA: una Princess Anne, una Harlow Carr e una Young Lycidas piantate in vaso il 26 aprile. Ho anche una Mill on the floss che si sta stabilizzando nella sua nuova casa.
I was worried it was dead so I pushed the petals back to see if it would move and it waved it's arm to grab the petals and pull them back, like hey! That's my blanket! So cute.
I've been asking for pruning advice every time I post on here or r/roses but nobody actually ever gives advice to keep these under control lol. The last 2 pictures is my attempt to just trim them like bushes with a hedge trimmer, basically cutting off all the straggling vines back to the base of the plant so it can fill out more like a bush and I can eventually give it shape (Either rectangular column or sphere I'm thinking).
After I did a HEAVY trim all the way back to the trellis in October, the plants looked pretty ugly since all the growth underneath wasn't receiving anymore sunlight, so it looked "bald" and you could see most of the trellis underneath. But luckily they bounced back quick and sent out a lot of offshoots at the bottom, so I'm zigzagging them back up to the top so it can fill in the bottom again. Except this time, instead of just letting it vine out like crazy, I'm trying to trim it about once a month to give it a better shape, otherwise, I'll just end up with a huge viney mess as you can see in picture 2 where the two plants almost touch each other.
I even asked my local "Master Gardener" from my extension office on how I should trim these, but they just told me they're supposed to grow big (like 15x15 feet tall/wide), and that I might have not chosen the correct plants for this location since they need more space.
BUT! All the pictures I see of Peggy Martin climbing roses people have them stay nice and compact, hugging their house exterior or fences, not nearly as tall/wide as mine get, so I'm confused on what to do. He mentioned the flowers mostly come for "new wood", so the long vines that form, and that trimming them back once a month will reduce the amount of flowers I get in the spring. But this is the only way I can think of how people manage to keep climbing roses "flat" against a wall, isn't it?
Can anyone chime in on how they do it?
I’m obsessed with this Rose and I would love to have one in my garden. Does anyone know where I can purchase this plant in Los Angeles? Please let me know.
Hi! I'm new here and first time poster. I was hoping you could help me identify this very old and very big rose I have in my property, I live in northern Italy and the plant in question was overgrown and over 2 meters tall when I bought the property, it was probably planted between the seventies and the nineties. I started taking care of it and it gave me back pretty big, pink semi-double flowers, with multiple flowers per stalk and abundantly reflowering. All I can say is it's probably a grandiflora of some kind? But I can't go further than that, can anyone help? Thank you in advance.
As the title says, I've been looking for varieties of white blooming rose that are really impressive scent wise. I'm planning for an indoor grow under lights. Smaller is preferred, but the focus is the scent, mainly
I'm really happy with my first vase of roses (mostly Gertrude Jekyll with one Oxford Physic and an unknown)! It helped getting used to the idea that homegrown roses aren't meant to be the length of shop bought roses and having a wider selection of short vases for that purpose.
With some Harlow Carr and Ancient Mariner in the background. They smell great. I think I have the best mailbox in the neighborhood at the moment.
Finally have some blooms to enjoy on my Seattle 9a roses 🤗🤗🤗 the next batch are blooming soon, but I’m glad I did some pre-President’s Day pruning (risky lol) so I have some early ones (for me!) now!

Hello! I've just joined this subreddit to learn more about rose growing and care. I was awed by the rose greenhouse at the garden centre this past week, and ended up bringing home four beautiful plants. The greenhouse I purchased them from is reputable, and I trust that they would not sell plants that had a 0% chance of survival in zone 4a (Edmonton, Canada), so I'm confident that with the right care, I can make sure these beauties survive!
The varieties I came home with are:
Raspberry Cupcake
Julia Child
Fragrant Cloud (I've grown Fragrant Cloud before in a much warmer climate, it is a treat!)
Purple Aura
I have been advised to plant these very deep - up to 20 inches down, depending on the position of the graft, and in a sunny location. I have planted the Raspberry Cupcake at this depth, after removing the lower leaves and active blooms. I watered with 10L of water/Root Booster immediately after planting and will keep heavily watered until new growth appears. Unless I get any advice to the contrary, my intention is to do the same with the other three.
I got a little information about winterizing, which won't be a concern for five or six months, but would definitely like to hear from anyone else who has experience with similar tea/tender roses in cold climates. Thank you!
Located in North Texas. Left home for 6 days, asked the house sitter to water, this is what I came back to. What can I do? Prune the yellow leaves? Newbie here!
I don’t know all the types. Planted a lot of roses last year, and they are starting to come in! Can’t believe such abundance already in mid May in zone 8B
I learned from this forum that these roses are called Dr.Huey root stock roses, but were grafted with other type of roses when i purchased them years ago. If I had know then that I should have pruned the Huey roses to keep the grafted roses. I have so much to learn! Lol! Anyway, I still think they look good!!!!
Training it up an arbor right now. Getting there.
