Growers of 'Ballerina'
by Simon on 26th September 2009, 10:54 pm
If there are any growers of 'Ballerina' out there... how thorny is it? My one is completely thornless. Can someone verify this as I am doubting the identiy of mine?

Simon, my Ballerina is a older ownroot and it has some ( not alot ) meduim thorns on the thick centre cane. On the other younger canes it has a real lot of really tiny thorns with the odd medium thorn. My rose is Ballerina as it has bloomed for a few years.

Ok... I don't think mine can be 'Ballerina' then as it is a little glandular but completely thornless... it's the rose on the portal page. I have a feeling it's a multiflora hybrid of some description (i.e. a hybrid musk).

Simon, I have the Australian bred "Carabella". It is totally thornless. It grows into a dense shrub about 2 m high and flowers constantly all summer.
I think it is somewhat similar to "Ballerina".

Mine doesn't repeat very well either... flowers its head of about now (with the other multiflora hybrids), and then you get one or two blooms later in the year.
