Knock out roses. it is a rose bush. Disease resistant, easy care.

Roald Dahl blooms fairly continuously for me- and its the prettiest apricot color w lovely globular blooms

Lady Emma Hamilton and Munstead Wood have to be my best bloomers for sure, still blooming now even though it's almost November. I think this year Munstead was never without a flower starting in Spring and still has a few buds, and will likely to bloom well into November. Jubilee Celebration has really been rocking it as well, still going, and will go into Norember, and Royal Jubillee is rather prolific constantly,, straight through, for a few months but stops in mid/late September. The Dark Lady is rather good at keeping going, as well (apparently has some Rugosa). Princess Ann hates heat and mine went dormant in exceptional June heatwave, to pick up a bit in the fall, but generally goes dormant in late July/early August when it gets hot, and it is very healthy, but would not recommend if you want a lots of blooms and months of blooms Now that my own-root Abe Darby's are established, they are also blooming into fall, and always are in bud, but not always in flower, and the foiliage has become so beautiful! Young Lycidas seems just to have stopped (end of october, and never has a zillion flowers at a time but keeps going, and the quality (scent/color), of the flowers is just beyond extraordinary. I just SP my R. Dahl because it has little fragrance, and thuis I like Jude the Obsure, Golden Celebration, and Bring Me sunshine better. My Dannahue was a real conker until I moved into more shade and the foilàage now looks better but seriously in two years have had less than 10 (not very fragrant- flowers).. Eustacia Vye is also a serious conker for me. WOH not a continous bloomer but tough in a bad spot. Evelyn blooms in flushes but she is also blooming almost into November. Golden Celebration is also still blooming, it blooms in flushes that almost never stop, but the blooms now are a bit smaller and more sporadic as we approach November, so that's a good one that keeps on.. Lady of Shallot is about to be SP as it also has flushes and stops blooming early in the season--for me a disappointment compared to Lady Emma, just not as prolific or as fragrant. Jude the Obscure (own root), still going in late October. Olivia Rose Austin is rather tough and a good bloomer as well (just got a last bloom in third week of October). I also have a Prince that is still going and have seen that bloom in December. Charles Rennie Mackintosh stays small but likes shade and the fall.... And usually get some amazing blooms about now... Hope this helps someone!

Rose Paris - thank you for the above. What part of the country are you?

Desdemona and Bishop's Castle are the best bloomers in my yard. Munstead Wood Is not a great bloomer for me.

@Diane Brakefield your Munstead is so beautiful! I love how dark it gets.... Any secret to that? like a certain sort of feed... . In terms of Austins that are proflific bloomers, I forgot Claire Austin. However, in many ways she is much more like a "wild rose" as she likes space and to get scraggly (mine is now part of a hedge on NW exposure), and she doesn't really get those truly DA blooms that are large and full, and stay on the branch for awhile or in the vase. My specimen gets lots of floribunda-type blooms that scatter and dissipate quickly, and the occasional more "perfect" one like the catalog photo, but they will keep coming and it will bloom into November. MIne also dates from 2008 and shows no sign of slowing down. For me Desdemona (as mentioned here) has fancier/more complexly fragrant blooms, but fewer, but it does start pretty early and is lovely...

Rose Paris, thank you, and I give all the credit to Munstead Wood. None of my roses have had fertilizer in months. The second photo is the result of freezing cold temps with MW persisting in spite of them. I think the blooms do lighten in July after being quite dark in May and June. Then in August they begin to darken again and stay dark for the next few months until the season is over. Diane

Here is my Munstead last night (October 28) in the rain in about 40 degrees.

Unlike many others, she does not ball. I just got Wild Edric and may SP it directly for that--hesitate if I should keep it? Every bloom just rotted even in a little bit of August rain. To answer @Indigo Rose, I live in a semi-Oceanic climate, perhaps equivalent to US zone 7, it's neither supposed to be too hot nor too cold, but the last few years, climate changes has meant the weather is all over the place. Just got one of those beautiful catalog blooms off Claire Austin as well (I think she likes fall). To the list of rather continuous bloomers, I would also add the Generous Garderner, which is also still blooming, but gets huge.

Seconding Munstead Wood. She is never without flowers from May through November, keeps going through heat waves and cold weather with no special care. An amazing rose and hands down my favorite

Rose Paris, Wild Edric is a rare treasure. At least give it to a gardener or give it more time. Many of us would want one.

Thanks for the advice @Sheila z8a Rogue Valley OR. My plan is to keep in the pot until next summer and see how it does before giving it any sort of prime spot... I do have a friend who will take it if it doesn't work at my place. It's weird because they sell it as being so rugged, so maybe it just needs some TLC.

Just dumped hundreds of photos into my 2025 album. Here is MW late September.

October

Late September

Recent in October. So velvety in the fall.

Is 'Emma Bridgewater' available to you this winter? It would conform to what I would describe as ''non stop continuous bloomer''.. if you can stand its thorns. I couldn't, but you might. Well worth considering with its large colourful blooms, even in the first year. Will make a big plant.

I'm so jealous of your profusely flowering Munstead Wood. Mine just has a nice flush in the spring, and then a few scattered blooms the rest of the year. And it is quite a few years old, and is well pampered.

@Marlorena, I have two Emma Bridgewaters, in two different spots and exposures, and neither of them did that? Where did you place yours and what were you feeding it? I did not find it to be a very vigorous plant this summer in its 1st year (two bareroots planted in Fall 2024). One is in the same bed as Munstead Wood, so the conditions that have led MW to be a continuous bloomer should have helped EB? We did have an exceptional heatwave in June that shut a lot of things down, and unusually dry summer (although I did water, my strawberries, etc., took awhile to recover, as well as roses like Princess Ann, which seems to switch off in heat). One EB (in a SE exposure) produced a few flowers, and then actually stopped blooming after its first flush in May/June and it only started blooming again now with two flowers in October... And the other one had a good run for a few weeks in the beginning of summer, but stopped two-three months ago, maybe ending in June/early July. The flowers are exceptionally pretty, unique and fade down to a super lovely lavendar/violet. It can be many colors, even at once, and changes as it ages, like the coat in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat... And this process takes at least a week, so a flower will last on the stem and change colors over the course of days.... Sometimes it takes DA's awhile to take off, so I guess we'll see next year... ?

@Rose Paris

Strange, our experiences are quite different. I had mine in a pot, not huge, about 40cm x 40cm, and fed with liquid feed during summer. It was very vigorous right from the start, throwing up basals in summer. By end of season it started to get quite large. Too thorny for me as I now grow only low or average thorn roses but for a first year Austin, one of the best I've had, and I get black spot like anyone else, yet not a leaf got touched.

I agree about the amazing colours. It appears to be a reworking of an earlier variety called 'Christopher Marlowe', perhaps with better colour. I can only hope your rose does better for you next year.

Thanks for the well wishes! Here's hoping!
