'heather roses' 2010

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 keep you up to date ( if not becoming dormant again)

cheers

Very cool Bemo... 'Rose de Rescht' is a rose that fascinates me atm!

it was a short show and not what I had expected:

the next day it looked:


and one day later it has finished:


may be due to the strong scent , it has only a short blooming period. The petal count was 12 but I'm sure, the next blooms will have more.

with fragrand regards

Your seedling are very very healthy

G'day Bernhard!

The foliage on your 'Rose de Resht' x 'Sympathy' seedling is very nice!

not all, only ~ 10% become acceptable, fewer good

Damo, fortunately, yes. There are another 2 seedlings of this batch, but looking different:





hope they will flower this year

a seedling from 2009 (be sure it's winter hard!) is blooming the first time. The plant is about 1.8 m high, will train it as climber:

OP Seedling of 'NDR1' ('Heartache')

it is a grazy red and it seems that Kordes (or the breeders before) have used Gallica Versicolor in breeding
the white spot at the center leaf is not a reflection by the sun. Will see if it is stable, a little bit more of white stripes would be gr8.

I would recomment looking at some of the descendants of Mr Moore's 'Stars n Stripes' or 'Honorine de Brabant', Bemo, if you would like to introduce more stripping. There aren't many good striped climbers and this is a lovely rose with which to start. I used 'Papageno' and have quite a few very well striped seedlings as you might remember seeing earlier this year ( http://www.rosetalkaustralia.com/rose-hybridising-in-australia-f3/first-lot-of-seeds-have-started-germinating-t440-90.htm ). Not all striped roses pass on the stripes but you have far better chanes if it is descended from 'Stars n Stripes' (striped sports don't usually pass it on).

Simon, thank you for the striped Tip, will keep it in mind

now the first seedling of 'Bonica' x 'Loredo' flowers. It is the nearly only one of the crosse (1/9) who seems to be healthy. All other are suffering more ore less from PM

the good message is, it is not difficult to select the right one....
