EEEEEeeeee!!!! :) :) I have this rose coming from Palatine!! Yours is GORGEOUS!!! Can you describe the fragrance...is it fruity, perfumey or ?? Thanks so much for posting your pictures!

Helen that is a stunner of a rose!! Thank you for sharing your amazing photography!

Gorgeous helen!!!!!

Thank you @rosecanadian, @joeywyomingzone4, and @Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca.

Carol, right now the plant is still small so I only recognize the fragrance as rose fragrance. I think later the fragrance will be more distinct. Helen

Wow! What a beautiful color. I cant wait to see more of this one.

Carol, how exciting that you are also getting this one.

Stunning! Looks a bit like Abraham Darby, don’t you think?

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw I agree. This rose is very promising.

@noseometer...(7A, SZ10, Albuquerque) Yes, the packed petals remind me a little bit of Abraham Darby. Helen

Helen - that makes sense. :) I'm surprised that you have a bloom at all from a bare root rose!

Kristine - yes, thanks! I'm so excited to be getting my roses...probably the end of April!!

Beautiful!!! So glad I got one from Palatine last fall though mine is not blooming yet.

Mas, I think you will love it in your garden. Please share pics when it blooms. Helen

WHAT!!!! How do the roses on here look so good!!!! @bayarea_girl_z10a_ca you are a very lucky gardener to have such nice roses. I don't have any English style roses when it comes to blossom shape. I mostly do hybrid tea roses. How do you feel about roses with this style of blossom? I want to get some that will do well own root. Which ones with blossoms like this one (any color) are cold hardy to zone 6 that do well own root.

GardeningTeenager, I think most people started out growing hybrid tea roses because they are commonly sold in big box stores like Home Depot, Lowes... I started out with hybrid teas but I noticed when the hybrid tea blooms age, they look less beautiful. With English-style roses, the blooms still look beautiful at the end. I like to mix both hybrid tea blooms and English-style blooms in a bouquet because the English-style blooms will help soften the strong look of hybrid tea blooms. On the other hand, hybrid tea blooms often last 5+ days in a vase while English roses like David Austin often last 3+ days.

My weather is mild so I don't have any experience with English-style roses in a cold zone. Other gardeners in cold zones can help you with that. If you add your zone and city/state to your name, people can give you the appropriate advice for your zone (ex: I added z9ca which means zone 9 California.) Helen

That does it! I am going to definitely get some English roses now! I can’t handle how beautiful the ones on some of these forums are now! They are drop dead gorgeous! I need to grow some!!!

Agree with Helen that adding zone number after one's name helps other gardeners to give the right info. appropriate for planting zone.

Helen, gorgeous pictures! how does Amour de Molène perform this year? I have a potted one that doesn’t seem to take sun well. The flowers flattened out in a day in full sun. I wonder if this rose would like a morning sun spot?

netMM, AM is doing well for me. It’s good that you have it in pot in this case because you can move it to a morning sun location to see if it works for you. Helen

Gorgeous rose!!!! Hope mine recovers well. She has struggled since she came from Palatine but I am babying her because she is beautiful 😍

Mine has been struggling too.

Ok, now that the heat is behind us, how did ADM do for those who have grown it this year ?

So incredibly stunning, I wish I had never seen it !

Tut, tut, Berrypie. We must be nice and have a positive attitude. I wish I'd never seen it, too. Phooey. Diane

Mine is blooming now. The photos are beautiful but to my eye.......the gorgeous color of this rose is difficult to impossible to capture. on film. There is a glow to it that I dont think a camera can record. Must be seen! I adore mine - got it from Palatine in 2020 I think. It is in a large pot and is so healthy! I adore it.

Thanks for the update Judith, I'm convinced AdeMolene must be seen up close, preferably in my flower bed.

It reminds me of Summer Song . If by next year I could order Amour de Molene, I could forgive myself for passing up the one chance Summer Song was in the DA handbook .

Now to figure out how to fit in another rose where there already isn't room for three more coming next month. Where there's a rose there's a way.

My sentiments exactly! I have a pot ghetto for just that reason! Dont mourn not having Summer Song. I tried it 3 times when it was being offered - got a few blooms which were beautiful - all of them dwindled and died. Beautiful bloom......lousy bush here in the states. Was never happy, hence its exclusion from the catalog.

That is sad to let a dream rose go, I'm glad you got a greater Amour.

Is the color similar to Sweet Mademoiselle?
Carla in Sac

Berrypie, I think Palatine's minimum is 3.

That is good news, three is a little easier to handle than four. I still have under 10 roses in the garden, wondering how to squish more in up to the property line without shredding my neighbor's huge flag that flaps into my rose space.

Still at the dozen roses mark for my tiny garden space, I'm trying to hold out for a few really outstanding "Must Have" roses. I've never ordered from Palatines, by Fall maybe there will be enough info on Amour de Molene to make a big investment. I so want my neighbors to get interested but they just aren't rose people.

Anyone have a good report on this outrageously beautiful rose ?

Here is ADM in good company,
