DA Wild Eve Rose

8 years ago

Got my eyes on a DA Wild Eve Rose. Don't know nothing about rose...but in looking at neighbors rose trees *KO* and some bushes, looks like their bloom dropoff is just this week.

When should I expect blooms on the Wild Eve. Just once in Late Spring. Or when the blooms drop, another flush develops later on ?

Wildeve is no longer in my garden. It was just another pink Austin rose. Not one of his best pinks. Flowers shattered, faint scent and stringy with her blooms. There are much better pink Austins.

My Wildeve was slow to start, but she matures into one of Austin's most beautiful roses, in my opinion. Mine blooms off and on all season. She will probably put out some long canes while young, but will grow into a nicely shaped bush as she matures. She's not the most prolific at first, but that gets better with time. Very much worth having. This is one that appreciates regular feeding.

Here Wildeve produced very pretty flowers, but not many of them.

Rose performance depends very much on where you are located.

There are several DA roses with similar form and color as Wildeve. Some do perform better and are available in tree form. You can look at Kordes, where you will see similar looking roses, such as Earth Angel and Cinderella Fairy Tale, but I don't know if they are available in tree form. In the Meilland Romantica series there are a few, such as Eden or Princess Charlene de Monaco with the look you like, but again, I don't know if they're available as trees. Check the sites.

You can look at some local nurseries to see which tree roses are suitable for your climate. DA roses do very well in my cold winter, hot summer climate, but I've had no experience with them where there is no winter to speak of. They do not flourish in every climate. All roses grow well in full sun locations, except where the summers are extremely hot, then they appreciate a little afternoon shade.

Much depends on the growing zone you're in, where the rose will be placed (next to a hot asphalt driveway, or on the east side of the house, for instance), if you get a good snow pack or a freeze/thaw cycle, if your climate is dry or humid, etc. If you could share some of this information, I'm sure someone here will be able to give you a more specific answer.

I hope you find a rose tree you love that flourishes in your garden.
