Summer Romance Hedge

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Pardon me while I am silly and gush!!

The roses are all planted and mulched. I don't have any companion plants in or the edging in yet. However, SR is just bursting with healthy new growth. I'm very pleased with how they are settling in. It's only been a few weeks. I might eventually swap some of the SR out for a mixed look, but it's fine for now. So far not bad for a 10 dollar hedge!


Thanks for looking and indulging me.

Blurry - but buds!

    Thank you all!

    Lilyfinch, Yes $10! I'm almost embarrassed they were so cheap!! They were clearanced for $2 each and I just couldn't resist. I bought 5 of the 6 *mystery* roses - one was moldy so I left it.

    I'll post some pictures when they fill in and bloom.

    I have a white arbor to go behind the gate and I think I am going to replace the chain link gate with a wooden one.

    I bought 3 of the same SR plants from Walmart back in September/October. Mine are in big containers and they haven't produced a single flower yet. They do something...make a lot of yellow leaves then drop, followed by new buds and the new leaves, then it repeats. No flowers at all. Surely all 3 doing it tells me I'm doing something wrong with them. So what am I doing wrong? As these plants not wanting to be stuck in a container?

    The plants are well feed and seemingly well watered too.

    They may not like the container DVS. Mine are in the ground and flowered like crazy last year. Mine also like a lot of heat, but it is dry heat here. They are right next to a very hot stone wall, southern exposure, where almost everything else would fry. Very, very healthy foliage. This time of year it’s a beautiful deep red, emerald and lime green. Not retouched or enhanced. It’s a kaleidoscope of colorful foliage. No yellow though.


    Along the wall the heat Kordes loving roses are really thriving. It’s Summer Romance, Madame Anisette and First Crush. Summer Romance has the most beautiful red foliage of the 3 though.

    Mine had a few buds when I planted them that allowed me to identify them but they haven't put out any more blooms. They should have plenty of nutrition and the foliage is healthy. Now I'm waiting to see what they do.

    Cori Ann, it appears to me that you have perfect growing conditions and a very green thumb.

    CoriAnn...I thought it was the container too but wasn't quite sure. Digging a hole for it's current size will be quite a chore but I suppose it's a deed that must be done.

    What a nice planting of new bushes , Suncoast, please do post pics once they bloom. I bought Summer Romance from Chamblee’s for $2.50, my plant has lots of good growth, but no buds yet:

    Flowers , I can't wait for your roses to bloom. It is a great buy and a steal deal. I would also love to see your white arbor when it blooms. Haha

    Cori Ann, yours are huge. I know, I know....but here it goes.

    You have a great green thumb. Omg, I can't wait to see your roses to bloom. Gees, and it will be blooming machine non stop too...lol

    DVS, I am sure it will bloom for you too. Post a pic when it blooms. Bet it is going to be gorgeous and you too BenT. Pics time when in bloom.

    I try not to look at roses in store. I bought too many but I am sure I need more after I planted . I am dodging the garden centers totally.
