Mr. Bluebird? flowers#1

20 years ago

this photo shows the size and shape of the petals and back and side of fl. the ones on the plant look exactly like a photo (in a book) of Mr.Bluebird but i think my rose is much older then that one.

I found a good photo of cv. Baby Faurax, it's flowers are very close, but ether the leaves are to big or the flowers to small. And it's too compact. But we are getting close! have yet it find a photo of Raymond Privat. ~ Brian

MM, to make things even more confusing, some nurseries have offered Raymond Privat as Baby Faurax and vice-versa. I have to check helpmefind.com and see whether they list any other mauve blend or purple polyanthas.

My helpmefind.com search turned up another possibility: Heinrich Karsch (polyantha, 1927)

Here is a link that might be useful: Heinrich Karsch

Maple man, helpmefind.com has photos of all three of the purple polyanthas I mentioned - Baby Faurax, Heinrich Karsch, and Raymond Privat. If you click on the link I posted above, it will take you to the Heinrich Karsch page of Helpmefind.com

If you're referring to Heritage Rosarium, they're only open by appointment, but from what I understand, Nick Weber, the owner, is accomodating and very nice. Here's a link to their website, which has a phone number and email addy if you want to contact Mr. Weber about your rose. I didn't see any of the three polyanthas I named on his list, though.

Did you read the article about Heritage Rosarium in the Washington Post the other day?
