Earth Angel - OMG !

I have 4 bushes of Earth Angel. Two are own root plants and two are on Fortuniana. This one is on Fortuniana and it is unbelievable this Spring. It is covered in hundreds of buds and blooms. I wish I could capture the enormity and size of this bush, but I have tried and can't seem to really get it. Anyway, here is what I was able to get.





These two were hiding down in the middle of the bush.



This one had a different form and I loved it.

    Wow! And to think I gave mine away, because it didn’t bloom much! Incredible!

    Lisa - Mine did not bloom much the first year either. I am anxious to see how fast she will re-bloom.

    Mind-boggling. That bush looks to be 6’ wide!

    I need a love button, the like one isn’t gonna cut it with this rose! Mine doesn’t even have buds yet :(

  • 7 years ago

    Oh, my!!! How absolutely stunning!

  • 7 years ago

    I too have been smitten. How are the own root plants doing in comparison to the ones on Fortuniana rootstock?

  • 7 years ago

    WOW what gorgeous blooms! I hope mine do that well. You said these are their second year in the ground?

  • 7 years ago

    oldrosegirl, The own root plants are in large pots (10 gal) and not in the ground, but they are really doing well. I am sure that they will never catch up to the ones on Fortuniana, but they are doing great and blooming their heads off also.

  • 7 years ago

    Wow, so many more blooms than I ever got from my own root EA. What are you feeding them? How do you prune your EAs? I don’t prune my EA much and I wonder if that is the problem.

  • 7 years ago

    Incredible! Mine just sits there and doesn’t want to grow or bloom In three years. I’ve tried alfalfa, steer manure, Miracle Gro, lots of water, acid fertilizer, composted horse manure. These all had the same result: nothing discernible. I’m trying fish emulsion now. The non-roses growing nearest to it (3 feet away to avoid root competition) are growing huge and lush, but Earth Angel doesn’t want to grow, just puts out a few 1” blind shoots. So sad.

    Thanks Suebelle. I hope she likes Nashvile as much as she likes New Orleans!!!

    Beautiful!! Yours is especially fantastic. Mine was wonderful last spring old rose girl ! Where in Nashville are you !? It’s such a great rose .

  • 7 years ago

    Gorgeous!

  • 7 years ago
    Wow ! It's beautiful. Did you get the fortuniana rootstock from K n M or elsewhere ? Have to add that on my list Thanks Sue :)

    I guess your singing to Earth Angel got paid off...:)
    It's definitely blooming it's head off singing thank you to you now :)

    I love this rose! I came across two of these and gave one to my mom and kept one for myself because they were so gorgeous. I potted it in a double pot with spray insulation between and it just kept blooming and blooming! Towards the end of the summer I moved it to the back where my irrigation couldn’t reach and everyone kept forgetting to water it. Now that I’m fixing my irrigation 8 can’t decide if I should get one for the pot or if I should plant a few in a group somewhere. The photos are so motivating to me!

    You go suebelle! Beautiful indeed! I have a couple, they aren't big as yours. Can't wait for them to bloom! JP has it in rose trees. Do yours repeat fast enough for you?

  • 7 years ago

    How big are the own root rose bushes?

    i think Earth angel is a rose that does better with maturity. My own root one has a lot more blooms in it’s third season.

  • 7 years ago

    What a beautiful rose and plant. Congrats and enjoy!

  • 7 years ago

    Oh, you give me so much hope (such GORGEOUS pictures!!!). I planted my little newbie in October, and right now she's about 2' wide in diameter and trying to grow along the ground. I have a few tiny blooms (REALLY tiny) - but I'm patient (sort of!)

  • 7 years ago

    Wow! The first picture looks like floating fairies or bubbles. The contrast of the flowers with the leaves is fabulous and the thin stems just disappear in the photo so the blooms seem to be floating around.

    There are only 14 Earth Angel rose trees left at JP. If you want one don’t miss the chance. They marked down $5 yesterday. Be a rose tree hugger today? :-)

    Input “MAYDAY” for extra 10% off. It’s about $36 per tree.

    * I don’t work for JP. Just love this rose tree. :-)

    Just planted 3 bushes. Hope she like my raised bed.

    Desertgarden, they still had it in stock a few minutes ago. I ordered 6 after leaving their website many times. Desertgarden, I wished you were in my area so you can stop by my house and get one for yourself. Helen

    You may have gotten the last plants... I just checked again and they are sold out...

    At that price, I can see why people would get multiples of such a beautiful rose!

    One day...

    I have 2 planted with 6-8 hours direct sunlight in NY. The flowers are almost white w very little pink hue. Should I move to a shadier area to get more color? Kordes roses in my yard grow like weed compared to the DA roses.

  • 5 years ago

    How are your Earth Angels doing this year? A mix of white and pink color? I have a tiny baby plant I'm going to plant soon.

  • 5 years ago

    So beautiful!

    Out of 7 Earth Angels trees, one has more pink, one is white, others are white and pink. We had a week of heatwave. I am not sure if there is anything to do with the heat.

    I love my EA!! Only thing I don't like is that after the first flush it puts out long octopus canes.

    @suebelle_neworleans That is SO stunning. Mine throws out theses really tall branches. Do you prune it often? Is it in full sun? Does the grafted bloom more than own root. Mine is an own root, which went from band to 2-3 ft in one year but does not bloom with same profusion as yours..
