'Rhode Island Red'

19 years ago

A hardy red climber in the Brownell series. Very disease resistant foliage for me, it is a big bushy thing that continuously puts out big clusters of nice-sized crimson blooms all season. Some fragrance too. However, blooms can be subject to balling, or have blackened petals (thrips? fungus?), or crisping in the heat. But when they are nice, they are very very nice. -Paul

Oh wow that is beautiful. Do you winter protect it at all? So far I know very little about the Brownell roses. Thanks for sharing some pics.

I do not winter protect this one. So far it has come thru one winter with alot of live wood. Altho last winter was relatively mild here. The other Brownell hybrids I have are 'Senior Prom', 'Charlotte Brownell', and 'Maria Stern'. They are more winter-hardy than your average h/t, but not to the tips. -Paul
