'Yuki's Dream'

10 years ago

A beautiful China Rose, with foliage you could eat off of. (Or, I suppose, EAT.)

This is a tiny plant, not long potted up from band to 1-G, but it's clear that it has a LOT of vigor. I'm very excited about learning what it can do in Southern CA.

    Like the shade of pink

    I've found China's to be vigorous growers my new ferndale band is already almost 4x4 since April might have to try Growing a few more next year

    I've grown one from my family's TX cemetery for many years -- "The China From Adina" -- and I grow "Elisabeth's China" and 'White Pearl In Red Dragon's Mouth' from the Sacramento City Cemetery. And I grow "Orange Smith" which seems to be a sport or seedling of 'Archduke Charles, with fewer petals, and came from a NoCal cemetery.

    More recently, I've added 'N92 Nanjing' -- which seems to be a disease-free gem. And this spring, I've added "Yuki's Dream" and also "5 Yuan" ("10,000 Camellias"). I particularly wanted that one -- I want to see how closely it resembles "Orange Smith".

    FWIW, 10,000 Camellias is not as robust a grower as is Yuki's Dream. But I have a feeling I may be grateful for that. :-)

    Since there is so little written about "Yuki's Dream," I wrote to Yuki Mikanagi to ask about it. Here's what she replied (and gave permission to quote): " I found the rose on my trip to Sichuan, China in 2001 with Mr. Mikinori Ogisu. Mrs. Helga Brichet from Italy and some other rose lovers from Japan were traveling together.
    I kept her in my garden for many years, and she bloomed very well all year round.
    I thought we need a name for her, and suggested some names to Mr. Ogisu on the 22nd of January, 2011, but he didn't like those names and he named her 'Yuki's Dream'!!
    In my garden, she grows like a short climbing rose. It looks like so-called 'Climbing Old Blush', but not the same.
    Collector: Yuki Mikanagi & Mikinori Ogisu
    Coll. No. : OM-0025
    Date: April 28, 2001
    Locality: Ma Jia He, Ping Wu, Sichuan, China."

    I'm sending this info to HMF as well, to update that nearly empty entry.

    Thank you SO much, Malcolm! That WAS a very sparse entry.

    BTW -- look what interesting stipules 'Yuki's Dream' has:

    I just finished a beautiful little book called Yuki Chan in Bronte Country. I think it would be wonderful to grow this rose in honor of that character. :) really a lovely bloom.
