what’s been your most prolific bloomer this summer?

I am planning a rose bed and looking to order this fall.
I have shortlisted some after the suggestions I got here.
Looking for some prolific bloomers now. What’s been your most profuse blooming ones this spring and summer? That had blooms most of the time.
Do share names and pics too. Would love to see the flowers.
Thanks!

    My most prolific bloomers this summer are Julia Child, Tamora, and The Prince. But there are a whole lot of runners up: Boscobel, and Golden Celebration, for sure. The Prince will be difficult to get, and in spite of all his blooms, he gets horrible thrips and burns easily in dry heat. Diane

    Wow! Beautiful blooms. Is boscobel the pink one next to the yellow in the first pic?

    What rose is the peach one, the third one

  • 6 years ago

    Thanks, mystic. The peach rose is Tamora, one of my best. She is a parent of Evelyn, another good one. Tamora is an Austin, as is Boscobel, the pink next to Golden Celebration, the yellow rose. I highly recommend Boscobel. Here's a photo of Tamora showing that she is my smallest Austin, and she stays that way. So she's good for smaller spaces. Diane

    Thanks Diane for the suggestions. Yes, boscobel is on the list, at the top actually:)
    Waiting for fall to place the order.

    Diane, I wanted to ask you about easy does it. Got one couple months back. It’s blooming next to the angel face( hasn’t bloomed yet). That bed is mostly pastels.. lavender pinks and whites.

    EDI looks really dark orange, more saturated color. Will it look very jarring with the pastels around it?

    Should I move it to another spot where I have the warmer colors?

    Or should I just leave it next to the angel face?

    Personally I would leave Easy Does It next to Angel Face and see what you think . Mine changes from dark orange to a paler color pretty quickly

    In the fall it even gets a bit of pink

    Kristine's Easy Does It is very accurate in color and a good example. If you haven't seen your Angel Face bloom, here is what it looks like so you can imagine these EDT and AF together. Diane

    I agree with Kristine. LOVE lavender and peachy roses together.

    My best bloomers this year are Darcy Bussell - thank you Dianela - and Peach Swirl. They just don't stop, even in the 100˚+ heat.

    My best bloomers this year are Queen Nefertiti and Bright & Shiny. They have had a good showing since spring regardless of weather.

    Omg!!!the pictures here. Just stunning!
    Love them all.
    Thank you Diane, Kristine, flowersaremusic, joeywyoming.

    Will leave them for now, I think I will like them together.

    Diane, the angel face is just gorgeous.
    Kristine, yes my EDI buds look exactly like your pic. Looking forward to the blooms and the colors changing.

    Joewyoming, the bright and shiny rose pic is so tempting. Adding it to my list.

    Stunning ,awesome, majestic, gorgeous......I have run out of descriptors. Some of these varieties are so dense they look like peonies to me (which I do love). Thanks for sharing.

    Mysticwaves, Bright and Shiny is a new release for 2020 so I haven't seen a lot of other people growing it yet, but in my garden it is extremely floriferous, very healthy, and the foliage is lovely and glossy so it makes a very nice looking shrub. If you get it I will be excited to hear updates on how it does for you.

    Joey, your Bright and Shiny is very tempting

    Bolero... let me see if I can find the link to the post where I shared a bunch of info and pics.

  • 6 years ago

    Here’s the link to the post that discuses in more detail about Bolero... it seems to do well for people in a variety of zones... https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5686865/bolero-a-favorite-for-many-of-us

    Ann, The bolero is stunning. Does it stay on the smaller side. I can buy it for a front border

  • 6 years ago

    Mysticwaves: Bolero tends to stay on the smaller side 3x3 for most garden zones is my understanding... it can take a few years to get to that size... as it spends most of its energy blooming.
