I don't although have always been tempted. I do have a Spinosissima hybrid, Karl Forster, which the Fruhlings's series is also. The ARS Encylopedia calls it better than any of them. It is spectacular in bloom, blooming all up and down the canes. Not in BS heaven but the foliage of this one is totally clean. Nice small light green foliage.

Sadly I planted mine in the wrong place. Formerly it grew in another spot where it was only a foot high and never bloomed. so I moved it. To the front of a border. It is now about 7' and growing! Beautiful shape, arching and rounded.

So far little rebloom but might do some after a couple of years or maybe with disbudding. A rather tough job considering the number of flowers.

Robert, I can't tell you about disease resistance, but 'Fruehlingsgold' is a great beauty! Habit, blooms, fine fine fragrance, even fall color: it's full of character and a wonderful rose. The winter before last I got 'Fruehlingsduft' and 'Fruehlingsmorgen', but I'm not going to know how they are until they bloom this year. There was a single late bloom on one of them (I forget which one) and it smelled REALLY good. So I'm looking forward to seeing them in flower.

We have the below listed roses at the Heritage. As far as I remember they are fairly dieseas resistant. Good Spring bloom with light bloom after that. Fruhlingsduft and Fruhlingsgold do get fairly tall. 5-7 feet. I forget about the other two.

i planted Fruhlingold on common land near my house 6 years ago. Despite the most appalling neglect (mea culpa), no water or food, competition from encroaching turf and weeds, this rose sends out graceful (if prickly) arching canes every May with huge palest yellow blooms which are totally redolent of its namesake, spring. It can look a bit gaunt (hardly surprising though) and it's flowering season is not long but....it is worth finding room for one, i think. I would very much like Fruhlingsmorgen too.

Robert,

I got Fruhlingsduft last spring as a tiny band. It didn't grow much, but didn't seem to have any disease problem (it was a horribly hot & dry summer--the fact that it survived is a point in its favor. I stick roses in the ground and the rest is pretty much up to them.) Now it's leafing out and showing a little bit of blackspot--but anything that will blackspot seems to be doing so right now in my no-spray yard. So far I'd say it's doing better than Jeri Jennings (my WORST blackspotter--she might be gone after this year because of it), Escapade, and International Herald Tribune, which are showing the most blackspot in my yard right now. Don't know if you grow any of these, but if you do it might give you something for comparison. The plant is too young and small to give it a fair assessment, but I wouldn't call it completely immune. Whether it will be reasonably resistant remains to be seen.

I have three in this series( duft, gold and morgen) and have had no disease problems and I am in black spot heaven although probably a different spot from yours. Mine are in a less than perfect spot and are not taking over the world but so far so good. They do get tall. I like them.

Patricia,

Good to know that you aren't having any disease problems. My "duft" hasn't bloomed yet--I'm really hoping it will this year!

I currently have 6 of the Fruhlings series but lack Fruhlingstag. Does anyone know where I might find this variety? I have also read at least one source that Tantau put out one spinosissima with Fruhlings as the first part of its name.

Lerosier3,
I know it's the default option but am always forgetting to look there: have you checked Helpmefind?
I learned something new today! I had never heard of 'Fruehlingstag'. By the way, are you familiar with 'Wildenfels Gelb'? This is coming into its second season in our garden and is looking very promising!

Try 'Fruhlingsmorgen', that one is special. G. Thomas described it as being one of the few garden roses that was as pretty as a wild rose. The combination of pink with glowing yellow set off by a contrasting dark center is great, that dark center adds an element other bicolors lack.

I am looking for Fruhlingsgold sticks to propagate. No one sells them. Does anyone wish to part with 4-6 sticks that have 3 leaf buds for propagation. I desperately want that rose to complete an arbor.

anyone with Fruhlingsgold I would be thrilled to get sticks - I have fairly good luck propagating them, my garden roses propagate themselves in the middle of the grass wherever they land - I'm definitely pegging them this year - I am being overrun with the same old garden roses. All shades of red. I'd like some yellow ones. I love red, but I'd love some other shades of garden roses that climb like Fruhlingsgold. Just fyi, no one, no one sells it anymore.

I bought Fruhlingsduft as bare root last autumn after having admired its blooms in my neighbour's garden all of last summer. I made note of them from June to September. No disease that I noticed. It is a fairly neglected specimen that has not been pruned for years and has grown 3-4 meters tall and very leggy. But the flowers are some of the most beautiful I have seen - and the scent is lovely. I cannot wait to see how my own rose will perform this summer!

the gold one has less petals and does better in shade; the more petals the more sun it needs. and i love the yellow and white colors. hence - the search goes on

The Fruhling series do well in my sandy soil, The do grow into tall shrubs, but once they get going they are a beautiful sight with loads of blooms on them

Fruhlingsduft fragrant, lots of prickles, no BS

Fruhlingsmorgen BS towards fall

Fruhlingsgold really tall, large flowers, no BS

Starchild, Corn Hill nursery has Fruhlingsgold on a list of roses available on a limited basis -- you would have to contact them to see if they have one for you. If you are in the US, it will cost substantially more than buying a rose in the US, and you risk the plant dying during the importation from Canada. However, if you really want the plant you may find it is worth the cost. Good luck!

Thank you, I don't know how in the world you found that I haven't found it anywhere, but I have discovered 1) it's easier to try to get sticks and grow it out, and 2) Europe has everything I'm looking for because it's always sold out here, I don't know why. I would think if I sell out on something continually to grow more of it. But they are all just sold out - and Clematis is another one that's sold out - except the really common ones that are purple and everywhere. Don't get it. When we sell out of something I grow way more the next year due to customer demands. It's a no brainer.

Not sure if you’re still looking but high country roses has them for sale in the US. I just ordered one...
