Lovely Rose Photos

ROSEFAN — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:32:42 GMT

This is an Italian rose forum I stumbled across, it has some very lovely rose photos. Of course, you can't read the blogs, but you can enjoy looking at the photos. You can generally work out the names of the roses.

Tea roses

wphvet — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 05:52:51 GMT

I have a few Tea roses,most less than 2 years old,all have been given room to grow up to 3 -4 metres,as I am letting them have their head to grow as large shrubs. They include mons tillier, marie van Houtte, e.Veyrat Hermanos, mme Lombard, maman Cochet,Duchesse de brabant, clb devoniensis, clb Lady Hillingdon, and Sombrieull, although I suspect the latter is really a Wichurian type as is often found. However the Tea rose I am really excited about,has just arrived at the nursery,I have never ...

Yes we have a new member, by the username of "William of Baskerville". I have spoken by the new form of letter called email. Guess what I found out his real name is guess what, you guessed it, another David. That makes 4 of us, but who is counting, we will soon be the common name on here. So all please make welcome the Baskerville. He has roses and is eager to learn more. In his word "sponge". He is also from Mexico(Victoria). Wecolme "Wiliam of Baskerville" ...

A different way of germinating seeds without stratification...

Simon — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:51:41 GMT

This is an embryo that I excised from the seed of an open pollinated 'Altissimo' seed. I'm just practicing still (hence using OP seeds to practice on) but basically if you remove the embryo and place it in a ziplock plastic bag on a few sheets of moist paper towel it will germinate in just a few days. I did this one on Thursday night, straight from the and old hip in the garden, and you can already see the radicle starting to emerge from the embryo. You sit it in a warm light place out ...

Reading and Writing a Rose's Pedigree.

OzRose — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:17:50 GMT

Hi all. I am hoping someone can set me straight on reading and writing a rose's breeding "pedigree" for want of a better term. I am used to reading stud papers for horses etc , and they are written along the lines of : By such and such , out of so and so . I assumed that it was the same for roses but something that I read last night [and I was reading everywhere , my head's still spinning ] made me think that I have it the wrong way around . Roses have it as the female [seed parent] ...

Australian Bred English roses

Simon — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 12:08:37 GMT

Some intersting points have been raised in another section of this forum that I would like to explore further. Following is my thoughts on the whole thing... they are fairly random... Lots of people around the world have looked at the problem of growing roses for warm climates and have approached it in different ways. Many have taken the line of using hybrid tea roses that seem to do well in warm climates (such as Mr Lincoln) and crossing them with species roses from warm climates such as ...

Freebies - Knox/FT Gully, VIC

Ozrosarian — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 15:10:27 GMT

Last year I've adopted several roses in order to give them some protection, but this year they need to go because the garden is going through an upgrade. If you're willing to have them, you surely can. This is the best time for them. I'll put them in pots. - Crocus Rose (white / yellow white tea fragrance) - Mme Isaac Pereire - Grace - Sharifa Asma - Red Pierre (a big one) I live close to Banksia Garden Centre in Wantirna Sth / Knox and if you'd love to visit the centre, let me know ...

'heather roses' 2010

Bemo — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:59:27 GMT

I changed the topic for my this year roses, because I'm not shure that they will become winter hard. The first 'AD' Seedling opens it's bud. The inner petals are much more orange coloured that the outer ones let me expect: there is another one which is also very promising, seedling of 'rose de Resht' x 'Sympathy': few with unspectecular blooms like this ( 'Bonica' x 'Loredo'): and some others from the last year, going to flower the first time like this one ('Sympathy' x 'Loredo'): will ...

Potting On Rose Seedlings .

OzRose — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:59:54 GMT

Hi all . Just asking about potting on rose seedlings . Does anyone have a preferred time/stage to do it . I have this pot of 4 seedlings from an OP Soaring Spirits hip . One is still at the seedling leaf stage but the others have their true leaves now. I am thinking about potting the larger ones now ; just wondering if this is too premature or over due .

cheers. Rosalie.

HI

ROSEFAN — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:19:28 GMT

Hi, I've joined the forum and would like to introduce myself. I am very much a rose novice with so much to learn. I love going onto rose forums and reading about peoples love and exprience with roses. Although I've always loved roses, I only really got serious about them a year ago and learnt that there were so many more varieties than just HTs and floribundas. I especially love fragrant and climbing roses. Last year i ordered a heap of roses, austins, a few HT's and delbards. This year i ordered ...

Pre-callousing cuttings...

Simon — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:34:23 GMT

I received a package from someone I met online the other day. It had cuttings of 'Fortuniana' and 'Eiffel Tower' in it as well as some instructions about how he strikes 'Fortuniana', which he said can be tricky. Anyway... thought I'd share his procedure to add to the arsenal of tricks we use to get them to strike. The cuttings were wrapped in newpaper so that the cuttings were encased in it and then the newspaper and cuttigns were placed inside a plastic bag which was then sealed. Sealing ...

"Brisbane Blush"

Damo — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 08:02:43 GMT

A great Aussie-bred rose, "Brisbane Blush" is one of my "cannot imagine living without" roses. It gets minimal BS here (certainly much less than many other better known overseas-bred roses that I have), repeats quickly & never fails to get lots of attention from visitors. Bred by Long, 1993. ("Golden Slippers" x "Lavendula") x "Prima Ballerina".

Hi everyone ! My daughter has changed back to her old school. She was very home sick for her old school, and a few other things didn't sit right for her. She was going to stick it out for 6 months but I told her she may as well swap back now. After doing this I was told that on the My School web site that our old school actually got better scores than the bigger school that she tried out for three weeks. Anyway least she was brave enough to try it and see what it was like, instead of thinking ...

Noisette cuttings

wphvet — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 03:17:21 GMT

I may be going over old ground but advice is sought. I have struck several cuttings of the original noisette, Champneys Pink cluster, into a pot of perlite 2 mths ago.All pieces appear alive.
Question: when can I repot them into individual pots, is normal potting mix okay and any special tips re the process ?
previously I had some deaths of another group of cuttings when I repotted them,although they may have been immature I suspect.

Horrible Horrible Beetles

OzRose — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:14:56 GMT

These are the scourge of my roses each spring since moving up here . I don't know what sort of beetle they are or where they come from . I have never been troubled with them in my other gardens , but here they just APPEAR . Seemingly overnight too and in plague proportions for good measure . They do immeasurable damage to my spring roses each year. Last year they were a bit later in arriving because [I'm assuming] we had a wet spring but they are at their worst October through to November ...

Lime Sulphur

Billndee — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 07:01:47 GMT

I am using lime sulphur this winter on my roses for the first time. I am puzzled by the instructions to use a fresh mixture.
How fresh does it have to be? Does it go "off" in hours, days or weeks?
What actually happens to it when it goes stale?
I think the directions on the product are incomplete without having a time limit to explain "fresh".

Old rose bed syndrome, companion planting & allelopathy

Lauriek — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 02:43:19 GMT

I thought I'd start a new topic on this rather than just post a reply! Old rose bed syndrome is something I'm going to experiment with. Last week I removed a rose plant where the scion and died and the graft had grown - I didn't know what the stock was. The plant had apparently been in the ground for at least 40 yrs according to the previous house owners, and it wasn't in very good condition; and, I took out Paul's Scarlet Climber that was very weak. Also I don't know the stock. Old rose bed ...

Rose Pruning Time - Again

Rose Petal — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 07:21:39 GMT

I have started a little earlier this year than last year as it seems to take a lot longer as each year passes I have been saying for year I must cull the crook and poor performers,... The first one to go was double delight This one I would like to replace as it is an old favorite and will probably put it into a pot for a few years. Best Friends is also going to get the chop as it is covered in mildew on the stalk and cant be bothered If they need to be spoon fed they are no longer ...

Well... I did it!

Simon — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 10:00:00 GMT

I registered my first rose seedling today. 'Kindred Ice', now forever known as 'Rose Tutu', has just been registered with ICRA-Roses. Now I have to work out what to do next . It is still some time away from being released and fully tested but at least now its name is secure and its pressence is officially recognised... is kind of a strange feeling

'Angel Wings' rose seedlings...

Damo — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:31:07 GMT

I got home tonight to find a 4th 'Angel Wings' seedling up (& an OP 'Queen Elizabeth' seedling) so I thought I might as well begin to show you all how they progress (assuming anyone cares LOL). The seeds were bought off eBay last December & kept in the fridge for a month before sowing. The first seedling took 24 days to germinate & one has popped up about every 2 weeks since. They are strong little things & the first now has a cluster of little buds on it:

A different kind of seedling :)

Simon — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:32:24 GMT

This is a seedling that has recently come up here... it's not a rose This is a cactus seedling. Not the kind that gets sharp spines, but one that develops fine feathery plumes instead. It's name is Mammillaria plumosa (plumosa = plumes). Real size about 3mm across

I read a post about this rose the other day but i cannot find it now. I want to ask the lucky man who photographed it at the David Austin garden in England about its growth habit.
Is it upright or sprawling or growing sideways like LD Braithwaite and Wm Shakespeare 2000?
I want to know because i have bought one Because of your good recommendation and I want to know ow much space to give it.

FOUND - Constance Spry

Simon — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 13:21:43 GMT

Anyone got any bits of 'Constance Spry' they could send me/swap for other stuff etc? I have a hunch... it was DA's first english rose and it does nicely down here... it's huge but it only flowers once. Its pollen parent; 'Dainty Maid', is remontant and remontancy is recessive, which means CS is carrying remontancy but not showing it. I would like to do CS x CS to see if a repeat flowering version of CS could be made. I think this might be of use down the track because it would be diploid and ...

Anyone used Lorraine Lee for breeding?

Ozrosarian — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 12:01:37 GMT

Aussies love it, and although I think it's an exceptional bloomer with a fine tea fragrance, I don't like its growth habit and overall look -- it's not a very pretty bush.
However, has anyone tried to use it in breeding? Is it fertile? I can imagine that crossing it with some better looking bush could potentially create some lovely, floriferous offspring.

does anyone know it's name

When they bloom, in earliest April, they do set o.p. hips, and the hips stay green through winter, and only by April of the following year do the hips turn reddish brown to deep brown and fall off. The prickles on the hips are so sharp and the hips themselves SO HARD that the local rodents ...
