Roses Inside and Out

A few warmer and sunny days have energized some of the roses to begin blooming although the main flush is still some weeks away.




Maggie has been a tiny bush for years but it produced a gorgeous flower

    Souvenir de la Malmaison is my most faithfully blooming rose almost all year long.

    Ingrid, I'm so glad to see you have some roses to enjoy. As you may remember, I particularly love your BHdS - such a pretty colour. And those darker pinks of Maggie and Wild Edric must set of those paler pinks you (and I) love. And Mrs BR Cant is looking lovely. I had her briefly, and found the scent wonderful. One cane died back, and I managed to tread on the remaining little one :(

    Ohhhh! Beautiful! I love seeing your Maggie. The only rose I still have in a pot is Maggie, going on 10 months now. I almost killed her by ordering in June last year when it was really too hot and then leaving the plastic/newspaper on, as shipped by ARE, causing black canes at the base. She recovered and only gets about 4 hours morning sun a day. Well she put out quite the flush. At least 7 blooms right now on one of her 3 foot canes. I can tell that she really wants to bloom! I am actually quite shocked at how many blooms considering she is growing in what could be considered quite shady for a rose. Zero disease too. Now I need to figure out where to plant her. I was enabled by you and others here to get her :-) but I didn’t have a spot picked.

    Ingrid, on Nik's thread, that rose you're wondering about, looks like Ms Tillier to me.

    Stephanie, with it getting ever hotter and drier, I'm finding that most roses appreciate more shade than one would think. The heat and increased solar radiation stress them more than anything else, and they especially appreciate afternoon shade. Since yours is blooming nicely in four hours of morning sun that might be a good indicator of its preferences. I'd love to see your bush in bloom. I was amazed at the large bloom on my tiny bush, and I suspect the rain had a lot to do with that, and the fact that it's not hot yet.

    Here is close up of Maggie that I picked this morning. Plus the bush in its pot. It actually has more buds than I remembered; I just counted 18 still on it. Plus I have picked 2 and one snapped off so it set 21 buds this flush. Most are still tight and green. She is kinda acting like a climber in this spot with long floppy canes, but I could work with that.
