I guess that no one is growing this rose and thst makes me kind of nervous

Hi Kristine, I am growing Celestine, this is it's second season with me. I like it, it's short, and a fairly heavy bloomer. I live in a difficult area for roses to grow, so most of mine get blackspot at times, but Celestine just goes on blooming. I love the color too. I would think it would do great in a pot.

Thank you Mossy for sharing your pictures.

Celestine looks like a happy prolific bloomer

The color is pretty fabulous too

You're welcome. We enjoy Celestine, if you get it I hope you do, too.

Oh wow Mossy !!! I will definitely be getting her again . That is gorgeous!! Is there fragrance?

I love the unique color. This rose just glows, and of course, mossy's photos are wonderful, too. Diane

Thanks, all. I don't bend that well anymore, and it's a low grower, so I haven't gotten a good fragrance from it, but it is supposed to have some. ( My nose is also deficient.)

Im with you Mossy, I have no idea if my shorties hsve fragrance because I cant bend down that far

LOL!!!

This made me laugh !! I don’t really sniff mine often either unless they are at the perfect height . Especially since I sniffed a bug up my nose which was especially horrific. Ughh 😫

I shovel pruned Celestine after its first year as it was not clean enough in my BS haven without spray. Might be great elsewhere!

I just don't want another rose that blows quickly.

Jennifer. yikkes that must have been a not good surprise

Mossy - Absolultely AMAZING rose bush!!! The leaves are barely visible amongst all of those flowers!!!! Holy cow!!!

Lilyfinch - ewwww...I can feel it!!!! Ewwww!!!

@Lilyfinch - OMG! I’m always afraid of that so I’m hesitant to put my nose in any flower. 😬

Jen, lol, im not sure I would have so been calm

In such a situation, one is typically calm on the outside and screaming one's head off on the inside.

Well said Monarda. :)

Jen - I'm just shuddering thinking of the cold thump on your neck!!!

First season with Celestine and I am in love with this rose, enough so that I am getting a second one. It has been a non stop bloomer, and that color, my goodness it is hard to describe but if you like a splash of vibrant color, that doesnt take up a bunch of space, I highly recommend Celestine.

I love it, too, Kristine, you lucky girl. Diane

Wow I wanted to get some Jalbert roses and had looked at peters joy, now will be adding Celestine too.

Isnt Peter's Joy a beautiful rose. The color and ruffles make it a pretty outstanding rose. What else aew you getting?

Kristine - what an endorsement for Celestine!!! I love that screaming color...yes!!!

Im going to put the new one in front of Cinco de Mayo. This is my year to add some crazy wild combinations

Kristine, I love crazy wild combinations. They usually turn out spectacularly and even better than expected. They make me think of Kaffe Fassett and Chihuly, two artists who are bold with color. Can't wait to see what you do. You are braver than I. My attempts at crazy and wild have been pretty tame compared to what I think we'll see from you.

Flowers, I have large areas of calm, restful roses. Lavenders and creams. Peach and yellows and they are very nice. But last summer in my zinnia seeds of hot orange, I got 2 plants that turned out to be hot pink

The pop of color with the peach and yellow was pretty fun and unexpected but, . It is one thing to go crazy with inexpensive annuals but planting crazy combinations with roses is a little scary.

Oh, who am I kidding? You know I am pretty gutsy about color lol . It must be a throwback to my old hippie days and all of the psychedelic colors

I wonder if my husband will notice his new planting bed filled with roses?

Carol, dang girl, my RX for you is plenty of time in the recliner, legs elevated and some delicious pie. Preferably Pecan . Read a good book, listen to Christmad carols and relax.

I miss Lisa too, I hope all is well.

So many friends missing.

Lilyfinch, we need to hear more from you.

Seil, Ingrid, straw, Kitty, Ben, miss you

Kristine - thanks...I have definitely been relaxing...but no pie...trying to save my liver. Boooo!

I love screaming colors...but then someone posts pictures of their wonderfully beautiful creams/pastels...and I'm like...I should do that...it's gorgeous!!! :)

Carol, i am the same way, those creamy, dreamy colors grab me every time.

Kristine: I tried to message you but you profile doesn't take messages. Carol notified me to invite you to join our discussion in Organic Rose forum. I no longer post in Rose forum, but I post in Organic rose.

I only invite friendly & non-judgmental people, after I suffered with criticisms in Rose forum about my horrible 2015 flu-shot reaction. Never mind that Jim in PA and Ken also suffered with flu-shot reaction. It's best that I limit my posting to those whom I trust and won't pass judgement nor putting people down. I won't bare my back to strangers to stab ... you, Kristine, is invited to join our discussion below:

Carol and I share freely about our daughters and our health problems, so it's best that I invite only kind friends like you who won't be critical of us.
