I must have had the camera on portrait mode here.

The look I love most.

And, this re-post to illustrate how the bush looks almost all the time.

Oh my goodness, this is indeed stunning!!! Just checked HMF, and saw many beautiful pictures. Please share more information. I'm making my list for next year.

What is the bush size? How long the blooms last on the bush? How are the blooms doing in the heat? Also how about in the rain? Any ball up issue? Does it take long to repeat bloom?

Sorry for so many questions. Just thrilled to see such a breathtaking beauty, and wanted to know more. Thank you!

MMy Marc got moved and it set him back . Next year he should be back to lots of blooms

The bush itself is really pretty with great form and beautiful leaves

He sure does deserve his own thread!! I love this rose!

A ten day old bloom beside a newly opened bloom....I think both are gorgeous!

flowers, I removed the tag of my 'Marc Chagall', which was hidden under leaves, and discovered why I was concerned about the colour of yours. It's Paul Cezanne!

I love the look of your MC, in all its incarnations, especially the first and last bloom shots. And what a beautiful shrub it makes.

Flowers: Love all your pics, how's the scent of Marc Chagall. Thank you.

Oh, my goodness, I knew he could take on many different looks, but these pictures are astounding. He's a lot more talented than I thought.

KJ, I think Joey has answered your questions. I hope you get him next spring. I found mine at a grocery store of all places, so keep your eyes open.

Kristine, I agree he is a lovely bush even without blooms. So healthy and really nice shape and foliage. Yours should burst into bloom next spring. Love the yellow in the center, which is what makes him look a little like Candice. I don't always get the yellow in mine.

Joey, you illustrate beautifully how long lasting the blooms are. Yours has the most yellow I've seen. Your assessment of his health is exactly how I would describe mine.

Trish, how funny! I looked up your rose and can see why you were concerned about mine. This was my first stripey. I thought I didn't like them, but now I want to collect the whole Painter's Series. Your Paul Cezanne gets an 'Excellent' rating from HMF.

Thank you Kristine and Joey for sharing your photos.

@joeywyomingzone4 Thank you so much, Joey! You answered all my questions. So happy to know it's a nonstop bloomer, and handle both heat and rain well. Exactly what I am looking for. 2ft high compact bush is perfect for me to put it in the front row of my rose bed.

I especially like your picture of the ten days old bloom. Cannot believe it's still that pretty after ten days!

It looks this rose has met all my requirements. I'll definitely get it!

@flowersaremusic z5 Eastern WA I'm so jealous you can find it in grocery stores. Here I never have such a good luck. I saw Heirloom has it but currently out of stock. Just added to my wish list on their website.

Straw, it's a soft powdery scent to me. I sniffed Peach Swirl, then Marc Chagall and thought they were very much alike, but Marc was softer. My climate is so dry, I don't get as much scent as areas with more humidity. During this very hot summer, I didn't detect much fragrance at all, and I doubt it would ever waft even in a moist climate.

KJ, you might want to be prepared for Marc C to be taller than 2 ft., depending on your zone. Mine, first year is already 3', but I have a feeling it won't get much taller. If you get it on it's own roots, it may tend to stay smaller. Joey gardens in an area with severe winters. I was shocked to find it at the grocery store, too. (Fred Meyers) Very unexpected.

I got one Marc Chagall this summer because I just couldn't resist the blooms! Here is the bloom when I first got it, although it hasn't bloomed quite like this anymore (perhaps due to summer heat?). But I agree, the blooms look so different that you may not guess they are the same plant. It has tons of growth and several buds right now, and I am excited to see how the blooms look now that the weather is cooling down a bit :)

I got my Marc Chagall from Heirloom this spring, then saw bigger plants cheaper at my local nursery. Oops.

That's a great whole plant shot. I bought mine from Regan's and potted it up. It has not shown the best vigor but it blooms a lot. I love the blooms. Might just buy another plant of it. Wish I could get it on multiflora.

@flowersaremusic z5 Eastern WA Thank you! 3 ft would be even better. As long as it will not grow huge.

Santosob, that's pretty wonderful for a first bloom before he's had a chance to mature. You can't hope for much better that that! Love the softness. Thank you for sharing that beautiful blossom.

Erika, isn't that always the way it goes! But, it's hard to complain with gorgeous blooms like that. The softer colored blooms are my favorites. Thank you for posting it for us.

Erasmus, those look like dessert. The colors look like they've been mixed with whipped cream. So extraordinarily beautiful. Love the cupped shape! Didn't Palatine have it last year?

KJ, huge is what you have to look out for in hot and sunny CA where so many roses want to become climbers, but there are some that stay within the stated size. I hope someone growing it in your zone will join in with their experience.

Some more just because I really love this rose...

I have him planted with a grocery store mini (I'd love to identify it, they gave it to me for free because they thought it was dead but a bit of TLC brought it back) and the contrast of blooms is one of my favorite combinations.

Here is my Marc Chagall. I love this rose as well.

What a delightful thread!!! What a wonderful rose!! Thanks, Flowers for highlighting it!! I'm amazed by these blooms!! Wow, everybody!!

Oh, and Joey, good job on reviving that mini...it's gorgeous!!!

Thank you Carol!! It's one of my favorites!

If I hadn’t already decided to add this rose come spring, I’m sure this thread would have been the tipping point. beautiful pics.

Joey, it must be true that there are extra nutrients in snow. Your Marc looks as though he's been fed something special. Your beautiful roses make up for your short season. I hate to think how many gift minis are tossed because people don't know they can plant them in the ground. That was a great save.

Lisa, it looks as though your Marc's blooms are more consistent in their coloring than some. Don't you love those good cutting stems!

Carol, Marc C is a good size for growing in a pot. He's one you need. His scent is not super strong, but really very nice.

Markay, I hope you love it as much as I do. So far, I haven't found anything not to love.

Flowers - if I ever see a MC for sale...I will buy it!!! :) :)

Carol, I hope one unexpectedly pops up at your grocery store like mine did so you don't have any trouble finding one to order. I could not have been more surprised. A new Delbard introduction! My big box stores never have anything but Knockouts, so it was very unusual.

Wouldn't that be awesome!! :) :)

@rosecanadian Lowes sells Marc Chagall this year, and that's where I got mine. Although mine was mislabeled, but I know it was MC. They got more shipment later after I bought mine and thankfully, those were correctly labeled. So check your Lowes if you want your own MC :)

Joey, your miniature rose is Gigi. The combination with Msrc is really beautiful

Good job bringing it back to life

Kristine thank you so much!! Gigi is a perfect match! You're the best❤

Flowers, thank you for the reminder. I found those compact bushes can still stay compact in our climate. I have a 5 years old Sun Sprite which has always been compact. So should not be a problem.

Kristine - good eye!!! :) :)

Santosob - Thanks for the heads up. I've tried our Lowe's here...they never have tender roses. Canadian Tire is the only place that usually has tender roses...and not very many...but I have found a few treasured roses there over the years. :)

Beautiful rose 🌹

The last hurrah of Marc

Such a nice Bush.

Edmunds sells Marc Chagall as bareroot grafted. I believe its still free shipping at $100.

They also have Pop Art that's new this year! I HAD to order one of those! lol.

I also saw they are offering Raspberry Cupcake and a mini called Midnight Fire this year. I am thinking about those two still lol.

They still carry Distant Drums& Koko Loko.

Kristine - what a beauty! Blooms all over it...wonderful!

Forever_a_newbie, this rose will make you feel like an old pro.

Kristine, your Marc is going out with a bang! Still as lovely as your first pics.

Sultry, thank you for the heads-up, not only on Marc but the other roses so many of us are crazy for, and for the links. Pop Art just went on my '23 list. A Bedard rose is a guaranteed winner in my garden.

sjn, I love the look of Pop Art!

Hello friends. Does Marc Chagall have what @strawchicago z5 calls bush beauty? I saw it at Home Depot over the summer, and I’m just now understanding what this means. Newbie here :)

Kristine’s first photo above nicely showcases the bush beauty of Marc Chagall. I don’t grow this rose (yet), but I’ve been particularly struck by its bush beauty every time I’ve seen it at the Huntington Gardens. I took this photo of it in late September because its leaves and growth habit looked so beautiful, even though it wasn’t blooming much at the time.

Helen, yes! The bush is a nicely shaped upright yet bushy floribunda with large medium green matte leaves. The rating and description on helpmefind.com, in my opinion, is not correct. Mine outgrew their assessment in the first few months.

Regan still has MC. I am considering adding it to my order, or maybe wait for it to show in local store next spring hopefully. Not sure how big a bare root rose in Regan compared to a 2 gal potted one?

Really happy to pick a bare root Mac Chagall in home depot last weekend!

Marc Chagall is also available right now at Walmart in my area ( NC) bare root. Plants looked good. They also have Maurice Utrillo, another striped Delbard which for me has been more vigorous. I have a Marc C in a pot and it has not done well. I bought two body bag ones at Walmart a few days ago and put one in the ground and one in a pot. Hoping for better results.

The first bloom of Marc Chagall reminds me of Peace. Both are bare root from local box store this spring

I got rid of Parade DayDayDay, another striped rose. It just looked diseased to me. 🙄. If Marc Chagall is as black spot resistant as a Knock Out I would likely give it a try. What say ye?

MoseMoseMo

Moses, I am seeing blackspot already this spring. We had a very dry and warm April and now the weather has turned cool and rainy and Marc Chagall is not pleased.

Are others finding this rose to be blackspot prone?

Moses, do you have Moonlight in Paris? It looks absolutely flawless even in all of this crazy rain.

I have never had Black spot on Marc chigall but I am in a fairly humid free zone.

I have both Marc Chagall and moonlight in Paris. both are clean. I live in east coast and we have very wet spring. My fun in the sun has refused to open the buds fully. But no black spots for these roses, granted, these 2 I only got this spring as bare root so I do know how they look when growing up

The one at upper left is Moon light in Paris and it has a lot of buds. I also notice the flower stays long even after a heavy storm over the weekend. Marc Chagall has the most beautiful form in my eyes though

My two body bag " Marc Chagall" plants will be blooming soon. The plants look good. Can't wait to find out if they are really Marc Chagall. Also got Peace which will bloom pretty soon too.

Moonlight in Paris has been blooming early here and has had some huge, very full, beautiful blooms with delicate shades.
