Fall Roses

9 years ago

I was out enjoying some late day sunshine and noticed a few roses still in bloom, so figured I’d share. The bushes are ratty and in the process of losing leaves for the winter, so don’t look too closely!

Perle d’Or:

Climbing polyantha - My brain is blanking on the name right now. You guys will know. Notorious for balling, and in fact I’m only getting flowers opening for the first time now in the fall flush (you can still see brown edges). Super healthy foliage and vigorous so not in a rush to sp.

Plum Perfect:

Cornelia:

Pink Pet, a real workhorse. One of my favorites.

Little White Pet showing very pink little buds. I swear I smelled myrh in the fragrance. Never noticed that before .

Olivia Rose Austin did really well in its second year:

Teasing Georgia: I really enjoy this one but seems to be susceptible to cercospora, or something similar, no blackspot though so gets to stay for now.

Fall foliage on oak leaf hydrangea is always great:

Can you spot the visitor? Pretty well camouflaged:

You have really lovely clusters of flowers there. Cornelia, Little White Pet, and Perle d'Or are my favorites. The oakleaf hydrangea and visiting insect are wonderful pictures for fall, too. Thank you.

Very nice, Chris! I have a new White Pet, recently planted, and it’s already blooming. It’s a cute little rose, isn’t it? Is your polyantha ‘climbing Clotilde Soupert’? Lisa

That was my thought, Lisa, Cl. Clotilde Soupert. Chris, your roses are beautiful! Your Plum Perfect is georgeoous. Mine will not grow, bloom or die. After seeing yours, I am not giving up. I love that color. The color on Teasing Georgia is luscious. Thank you for posting.

Cool visitor! I'm always delighted when they stop by.

Love your Perle. I have one but it stays small due to my harsh winters.

Thanks guys! Yes, Clotilde Soupert. It was on the tip of my tongue. Ingrid, my Plum Perfect was only planted last year. It hasn’t grown much, but hopefully next year. It is very healthy and I love the color too. I would have gotten it from Palantine, but bought it own-root before realizing they had it. I’ll just have to be patient. Perle is surprising hardy, but no match for zone 5 I guess.

Chris, you might be glad, after all, that your Plum Perfect is own root. Mine was planted this year, own root from Northland Rosarium, and surprised me with good growth, wonderful form, lots of blooms and wow! are they pretty! Now, I think I must have Olivia Rose. I was afraid it was just another pink Austin, but it is outstanding from every report - and photo!

Took a few more pics today. I love how the cooler weather gives the roses such vibrant colors.

Mel’s Heritage really took off this year. Can’t wait to see the spring flush next year.

Buff Beauty is disease free and I love the flowers, but it has had no vigor in my garden after a good 4 years in the ground. Still no bigger than maybe 2’ wide and 1.5’ tall. Some good qualities, but I’m running out of patience with it.

Cream Veranda has only been in the garden about a year, but I really like it so far.
