'heather roses' 2010

this one is not a weeping rose:

Seedling Westerland 2009

It is a seedling of 'Westerland' from 2009 (maybe you remember). The shrub is now about >1m and showing now the first bud. I will also show the flourishing....

Snap! Simon . Dainty Bess was the first thing that sprung to my mind . Used to have her in my former rose garden.

Well if you were looking for one that sets hips very freely , it's a goodie .
I leave all my late hips on my roses as they are source of food for the birds in winter . My Bonica is a little standard in a tub and it's not unusual to walk out and find a couple of clonky great 28's sitting on the bush having a feed .
They are pretty messy eaters and they drop seeds which come up under the mother plant all the time. I have some potted up atm.

Don't quite understand about the masking gene bit Simon . Is the white gene recessive then , like the gene for blue eyes in humans ? which can lurk in a brown eyed parent or is it the dominant one . [ my brain is a bit slow this morning ]

Like the pic of the weeping rose B ; you could call it Teardrop if it ever gets to the point where it needs a name.
Your little red flower reminds me of the seedlings that used to come up like weeds under a friend's Lili Marlene bushes.

Well done Bemo, those seedlings have great potential and can only improve as they mature. Great blooms for young seedlings.

I like the leaves, do you use an oil spray or wipe them as they look so healthy which usually comes from using white oil or similar.

Rosalie,
don't be confused. Here is an other white seedling of 'Bonica'. It's possible that it owns the red colours, due to the presence of cyanidin, anthocyanidin, but fact is that we see White. So we speek always about the result of our sense. And that's very easy at the end



this one grows very strong, got some wichurana genes with

the young bloom shows also a little bit cream:


Bruce,
my roses have only been sprayed in the spring with an own brewed tea from field horsetail, This works great (this year)

cheers
Bernhard

there is some remaining pink in the close up of the white 'Bonica' seedling:



looks like in the case of 'WC'

Bernhard.. I think that cream colour in roses is the most beautiful colour... I like it a lot

Great photos of excellent looking seedlings Bemo.

I'm with Simon re cream coloured roses...there is just something about them!

thank you for examining

the first flower of the 'Westerland' seedling is now ready, has no persica blood.



could still breed with it.

cheers
Bernhard

Bernhard, that is a brilliant rose, Some singles I do not like, this one just has what I like and the colour is to die for. Hope this one can go further in life

Very nice Bemo...I like it very much actually!

Rosarians, again 'Mittsommermärchen'
as Simon wanted to see a so called 'whole body pic':



unfortunately this rose seems (this year) to be once blooming ?, but im still full of hope, because big shrubs and climbers needs often a longer period to become recurrent.

cheers
Bernhard

As I've said elsewhere Bernhard... I really think this one is a winner

I did not (yet) show this one, which I will also keep until next year, hoping that the sensitivity to PM will go away.


OP of 'Rosenprofessor Sieber'

a lot of roses have been thrown away and some others, like the 'Rose de Resht' Seedlings, have not yet bloomed. This year, my seedlings and all other roses will get an extra portion of pottasium for better winter protection. I hope it will work and I can show the 1st flowers of the RdR crosses next year...

if not, there will be some others...


so long
Bernhard

Very nice, Bemo. Hope it's floriferous.

It's lovely to see a rose that can get to full blown and hold it's shape well for a few days.
That's when you truly get to appreciate it's beauty .

I hope your rose can overcome the PM problem Bemo.

cheers. Rosalie
