Behold.. Biedermeier Rose

Ok sorry for sounding corny !! But I feel like this rose is pure royalty . I ordered her from palantine and she became a shining star rather quickly. At first she did nothing . And when everything else was blooming I had forgotten who the rose even was or should look like . Then she sputtered out three blooms or so and I was concerned “that’s it ?” . Then a few weeks later she got into the groove and has been wowing Me since. She’s in a pot . She has a lite raspberry fragrance that is so nice when you catch it . The 100 degrees week we had did not touch her Blooms or make them blow open too fast . The foliage suffered a little as the pot definitely needs increased.

no matter , I am smitten .

please consider her this fall when palantine opens !!

    So pretty....God I cant get another rose :(

  • 6 years ago

    That last picture is delightful with its picotee edging!!! There are a lot of blooms and, I love the pink and white!! :)

  • 6 years ago

    @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca Mine is in a 5-gallon pot so it doesn't reach its full potential. I think I will need to move it to a bigger pot. It's a beautiful rose and will be happy in the ground. Helen

    Aww 😍 I absolutely love this rose. It reminds me of Eden and Moonstone. I wonder how it would do here no spray (probably bad 😞) but it is so beautiful I can’t help but want it.

  • 6 years ago

    Lilyfinch: Oh WOW!!!... my list of roses
    Keeps growing yet, the size of my garden has not. I think I may have a problem... and I hold you and the rest of this group responsible...😜 I can’t believe how much the blooms look like an identical twin to Eden. What a special rose. And a rose that smells like raspberries... oh how delicious! Now to figure out where I’m gonna put her. You have such a gorgeous collection of roses. Question: where did you get your Bolero Standard tree rose? And will you share more pics of it? Does it perform just as well for you as a regular bolero?

  • 6 years ago

    Wow! This is beautiful!

  • 6 years ago

    Hi Ann !!

    My bolero tree rose came from Walter Anderson’s nursery! They have the best prices for trees I think . This one was gifted to me but I think it was 35$ or so!


    I’m sorry I don’t have many pics of it ! That’s really all I had. Sometimes I don’t take pics when I have things to deadhead or move and then the peak is over .

    I think it does fantastic. I love it !


    Dianela , it does resemble moonstone but puts out so many more ( smaller ) blooms !

    Helen I actually have a soon to be vacant ground spot and it just may get it . I am sure you’ll adore yours once you plant it !!!


    Thanks everyone for all the compliments!! It’s beautiful

  • 6 years ago

    Ann - you hold US accountable for your inability to use self-control? LOL LOL I'm just kidding...we're terrible enablers here!!! But it's so much fun! :)

  • 6 years ago

    Such a beauty!!!!!

  • 6 years ago

    What a gorgeous rose! Love it with the iochroma in the background. Do you worry the iochroma will shade out or compete with the roses?


  • 6 years ago

    Hi Deborah ! My iochroma is in a pot so I don’t worry . I’ll just heavily prune it or move the sucker out of the way. It does grow so fast but man the hummers love it. I just added the pink princess from Annie’s too !

  • 6 years ago

    I have the princess one -- it's nowhere close to becoming a monster. Just a well behaved shrub in a tricky spot. My blue flowered ones probably want more sun...but I'm hopeful they'll eventually be good shrubs with pretty flowers. Have you tried the Cantua buxifolia? That one blew me away this last spring. I mean, wowza. I bought two more -- planted one in the ground and one in a 5 gallon can that I'll have to figure out where to put it (or maybe even gift it...). Let me know when you are giving botanic garden tours of your back yard!

    @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca

    Does this look like a Biedermeier Rose?






  • 5 years ago

    Wow Biedermeier Rose is just lovely!

  • 5 years ago

    Yes it does Deborah..!’ So you have it too ?

  • 5 years ago

    I think so, but not on purpose! I got my Augusta Luise rose in November from Palatine and have been watching these fat buds progress, but then...the rose didn't look like AL! So I've been frantically checking every hour. I thought it might be Eden, but a sharp eye suggested Biedermeier... (thank you, Mas!) It's a healthy bush, lots of big, round, lovely buds, and now this one opening. So far it reminds me a bit of Sheer Bliss. No fragrance yet.

    last modified: 5 years ago

    The fragrance came later for me too. I’m so sorry you didn’t get Augusta tho!! But honestly ( and I love pastels so much ) I love my bierdimer more than Augusta ( I know !! Shame shame ! ) . Sometimes it’s just so bright for me but I’d never part either.

    I’m glad you bumped up this thread bc I was sorting through the Annie’s site when I saw your message!! What other favorites do you have from Annie’s?

    I have a cart going and am thinking of splurging . Why does it feel like such a splurge when you add shipping!? Lol

    have you tried this one Deborah ? The cantua

  • 5 years ago

    Okay -- if you see my post above in this thread, you'll see that I had a mad crush on cantua last year. And I bought several more. BUT. Both of mine died in the heatwave last fall. I think they're dead. No new leaves. So that gives me pause as to where I'd put the new ones.


    I haven't tried the tricolor one. I tried the straight cantua buxifolia from Annies -- and that was just incredible. I can't even begin to describe the hugeness and the delight. I actually invited people into my backyard just to see the blooms. YUMMY. Incredible. Just WOW. My cantua hotpants, which I was so excited for, got crowded/overshadowed by the other one. So my plan now is to put my hotpants and the buxifolia in big pots so I can move them into shade when another heatwave hits...I guess they're from cloud forests -- so makes sense that they want sun, but also the misty coolness of an understory? I don't know. Maybe I did something to kill them. They were in my huge file cabinet that I'd turned into a planter.


    Re Annie's favorites...oh goodness. I love the campanulas, the greek and ladybird poppies, the rose chiffon ca poppy, the apricot chiffon ca poppy... My roses from Annie's have all done well -- Grandmother's Hat, Duchesse de Brabant, Felicia, Golden Celebration, and Veilchenblau. My blue iochroma is just lovely (but you have that one). My agrostemma ocean pearl...oh gosh. My mind is going blank now. The CA natives (but I usually get some locally) like the baby blue eyes, penny black, tidy tips, CA blue bells.... The delphinium cobalt dreams is amazing, but mine don't come back for me in the garden, so I put them in pots and they are returning, hallelujah! I don't get the re-seeding that Lisa does. Maybe birds eat up all my seed. I've not had success with the Orlaya, though I don't know why. The scabiosa did TOO well and were too big/tall and hid my roses, so I took them out. The blue diadem bachelor buttons do well for me. I can't do the hollyhocks to save my life. Love the penstemon blue springs, but I can get that locally, too. The verbascum does well -- I think I did southern charm, but it's much shorter than I thought it would be, so I never see it b/c I put it in the back of the border. The chantilly snapdragons have done super well. My chantilly peach were super vigorous last year, but I pulled them out in spring becuase it was just too much of the same throughout and the roses started coming in. I left one patch of the peach this year, but then put in two new chantilly purples which have done so well. Lately I'm enamored of the dianthus -- so have the raspberry one and the Hercules going now. Of course the myosotis looks good under poet's wife, as does the tall chinese forget me not. The rabbits really went for the yarrow cameo, so hoping I get blooms this year after spraying with liquid fence. I'm trying the golden feverfew underplanted in rose bed for the lime green foliage. Love the lime green heuchera for that, too.


    In my native area - which is well away from the roses and quite dry -- I am in lOVE with the eriogonum latifolium seaside buckwheat. Low maintenance, quite a lovely sea of them naturalizing, and the bees and butterflies go crazy all summer for them. In January when I prune the roses I weed whack the tops off the buckwheat and let them go nuts. I also like the red buckwheat and ceanothus and salvia pozo blue in that area (not to mention the native goldenrod, manzanita white lanterns, verbena de la mina, mimulus monkey flower). But I got those plants from the local botanic garden and nurseries. In that area I did plant an Annie's find: the Family Jewels Tree! (asclepias physocarpa). That was a big hit. Tee hee!!! I do love the Penstemon Thorn. I'm enjoying the anisodontea strybing beauty -- three in a row along the top of a slope. They are always blooming, though more loose in form than I thought they'd be -- I was hoping for more privacy screen. But they are in a lot of shade. Geum Totally Tangerine puts on a huge show, and I moved it to a new spot, but I don't think it's happy there. I planted a Vitex Agnus -Castus in my "native" area, but it is soooo slow growing. The Muhlenbergia Pink Muhly Grass is lovely nestled in with my fruit trees. The sphaeralcea Newleze Coral is along the wall of my house - sloped and south facing, and does really well. I chop it back in January. I gave my neighbor the echium tower of jewels, and we waited two years, and then it was amazing, and then it was ratty and never re-seeded. I would plant it again, but we've already established I'm IMPATIENT, so I just don't want to have to wait that long! I've planted many calandrinia for my friends who want no maintenance, low-fire risk, low water color -- but I can find that in 1 and 5 gallon cans, so don't order from Annie's. My new things are the pee wee oakleaf hydrangea and annabelle. Hoping they come out of winter dormancy soon (or did I kill them?). I just planted the heliotropium and some violas. Oh -- the ageratum corymbosum is very pretty. Have that between Munstead Wood and Yves Piaget. It's blooming right now. Oh -- and the tiny gomphrena. That one is gorgeous on the top of a slope at the back of the border and just lends movement and color and a lightness that contrasts nicely with the rose bushes.


    Whew. Way more than you asked for here, I'm sure!

  • 5 years ago

    Wow Deborah!!! So , your a fan of Annie’s plants huh ?! Lol

    I’m going to study what you wrote here with my catalog . Do you have photos you can share ??

    are you close enough to drive or do you just order as they come available ? Lisa and I always commiserate that our wish list is never “ all available “ lol

    A local nursery used to carry some of the Annie's (pre-pandemic) but no longer. I think Annie's couldn't keep up with the online orders. On trips to Northern Cal I've stopped at Annie's nursery 2-3 times. But mostly I wait for a sale that includes gift certificates, buy the gift certifcates at 15 or 20% off, then wait for my plants to come available or another special with free shipping, and then go hog wild. One time I teamed up with a neighbor so we could get one big order and split the cost of shipping. Santa Barbara and Richmond are about 6-7 hours apart -- so, no, not a quick drive! I'll look for some pics...

    Okay, Jen @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca. You asked for it. Stay tuned.

    I can't believe I forgot the lovely ribbon bush! It's nice and green and unassuming all year and then in fall. KABOOM. explodes in these lovely flowers. Reliably perennial thus far.


    Hercules Dianthus.

    I forgot about the catanache! cupid's dart?




    In this one you can see the cupid's dart and the trachelium and a hint of the lime heuchera beneath Munstead Wood.


    And I can't believe I forgot about the trachelium!!

    Here you can see the campanula and the trachelium before it blooms.


    Here you can see the Felicia, the snaps in back right, and the Heuchera opal in far back

    @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca

    I think the rose is not Biedermeier after all, but Eden:






  • 5 years ago

    p.s. @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca - what did you order from Annie's?

  • 5 years ago

    Deborah - I love your Dee-Lish!! :) :) Your Trachelium and Delphs are wonderful!!! Oh my!! And then your full garden shots blew me away!!! Such beauty!!

    @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca How is Biedermeier doing for you? How did it do in the heat spell we had? Does it repeat well?
