Yes, his roses are really healthy...no spraying needed as far as I know. Fragrance is lacking in a lot of them...but they're truly beautiful! Keep us posted about which ones you decide to get.

Rosecanadian, Chamblees says that Angel’s Delight is his most fragrant rose.

Markay , this is so very tempting! I have Dylan and love it so devotion looks like one id love too. I’m going to check out the shipping ( I’m sure it’s brutal! )

How did you find out there would be more in the fall ?! So exciting. My garden is stufffed to the brim but you can always squeeze more pots in !

I follow Chamblees on Facebook and they posted about it there. The shipping is very high though. 😬

Double Ambre looks delicious.

It sure does !!

Thanks for letting us know @Markay MD-Zone 7B! I was bummed I missed out on Double Ambre at All My Thyme and so I’m excited Chamblees will be carrying some of Jalbert‘s varieties, too. It looks like they now have 8 varieties available to ship after 5/1. I agree that Angel’s Delight looks great and may have to get this one as well.

I am trying to link a beautiful vidoe but houzz wont let me . He also shows in another video the angel rose as well ! Take a look . Really makes me miss green lush grass and more hospitable temps . Lol

maybe you can find it by searching his channel name

Markay - sure wish I could get an Angels Delight rose! Looks heavenly. (pun intended) :)

Carol, Select Roses in Canada also sells Jalbert roses. Maybe you can order from them?

Librarian - thanks. :) :) Select Roses is Jalbert's company. He doesn't ship. But, Phoenix Perennials does. But...they don't have a huge selection of his roses and they're really expensive as is their shipping. I wanted to buy one passiflora from them....it was $150 including shipping.

Ugh, sorry. It seems you've really looked into this. That is really high shipping!

Librarian - yeah. Much better to get Jalbert's roses from Palatine. :)

Carol, I've been puzzled for years as to why Canadian sellers easily sell across the border to US buyers, but US sellers won't sell to Canada. You live in a large city with a big market. Canada is our biggest trading partner, so what's the problem with US sellers? Meanwhile, Australia, which doesn't even have the population of California, has all kinds of wonderful European roses we can't get here and neither can you. Unfair to Canada! Diane

Diane - THANK you!! I've thought that for years. Even Austin roses won't ship here. But you'd think that the United States would ship here. Sheesh. I guess they'd have to get a phyto certificate...and if they don't need the business...but Palatine is greatly helped (I'm sure) by the U.S. so they consider the cost of doing the business as beneficial. But, come on! LOL

I am growing the Jalbert rose 'Beverly Ann Clay'; it is an AMAZINGLY vigorous, healthy rose. It has reaches a full 4' the past two years, unprotected through the winter and never sprayed. The photo is from the website of Menagerie. This rose's health and hardiness makes me want to try more of his roses!

I grow 2 Jalbert roses that Chamblee doesn't offer and they are fabulous roses

They remain small but bloom like crazy. I would definitely love more.

It's not that that US sellers won't sell to Canada. Canada won't ALLOW them to sell roses across the border. I'm not sure if a phyto certificate is even an option for roses. The US has many rose pests/diseases that so far have not made it into Canada, or at least are under control there. On the other hand, Canada CAN ship to the US, because their roses are "clean" by our standards. Even so, every nursery that ships to here must be certified.

It's just like the US not allowing the importation of European roses. THEY have pests that we are trying to keep out, in particular an Asian beetle that attacks roses, but that could devastate many US food crops. Importing European roses to here is a major hassle of paperwork, a two year quarantine, and inspections (at your cost) both before entry to the country, and during the quarantine. You can't even import cuttings above a certain tiny diameter, and what's allowed will NOT arrive viable, because of inspection delays. You might as well order dead sticks, because that's what you'll get :P

The reason that Canada does have access to some European roses that we don't is that as a member of the British Commonwealth, the importation/inspection process is *slightly* less restrictive for plants coming directly from Britain (but now that Britain has left the EU, the flow of new European roses will slow). But one reason that even that is possible is because Britain's uber strict (draconian) agricultural laws act as a first line of defense between Europe and Canada.

If we all want to eat, we should at least take comfort that our deprivation of the roses we want is (hopefully) keeping our food supply safe.

EDIT: Canada probably has similar options to the US for importing roses, I just don't know. But if they do, and if they are as restrictive, it just wouldn't be worth the several hundred dollars for a private citizen trying to bring in a new rose from the US. It would only be a viable option for a commercial entity that could recoup their import costs through resale.

Rosesmi - what do you think of Beverly Anne Clay's fragrance?

Kristine - beautiful...I especially love that picture of Celestine!!

Fig - really? I didn't know that. I did buy some streptocarpus from Florida...and I had to pay for a phyto-sanitary (?) thing. :) :) Thanks for the explanation. :)

Well, I know it supposed to have a "strong citrus fragrance" according to HMF, but I can't smell anything. It is prob. my poor nose :) However, it sends up bracts of large colorful flowers all summer -- I think at one point I counted over 35 flowers on it. In Michigan (hardy once bloomers excepted), that is a huge number of flowers to have at once. And the canes! They are thick as the ones hybrid teas come with -- I mean the cane width of the bare roots that are on the plants when we first get them -- usually, the new canes' width decreases once the plant gets used to growing here. Not with B.E. Clay. It makes me feel like it possible to grow roses well.

rosesmi - I had it last year...(still have it). I did something that it didn't like (probably too much rainwater that I had been collecting..I was experimenting)...I hope for it to do better this year. :) :) It sounds amazing! Thank you!

I got Jalbert’s Peach Perfection ftom Palatine a couple years back and have wanted to try more of his roses ever since.

It is an amazing rose, but the thrips went to town on it last year!

Ooohh, Peach Perfection is a yummy color. Is it a shortie ? The 3 that I have are all about 2 feet

It’s pretty compact. Probably 3ft.

Markay - I don't see any thrips damage...did you mean sawfly damage? That sure is a beauty of a rose! Well done!

rosecanadian, That was before the thrips found it.

Markay - oh. That make's sense. :)

Carol, the like button isn't working here right now. I like your comment just above. I don't like you know who, begins with an h. Diane

Diane - :) :)

Who is h? I probably don't like them either, Diane, but I should find out who it is.

It's houzz, Sheila. I'm on their naughty list, I'm sure, so I try to avoid naming them too often. Diane

I must be short of coffee, Diane! Of course.

Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca, Hi, Where did you purchase your Dylan rose?

Thank you!

Roseann

I just wanted yo share Peach Perfection in her 3rd year.

No fragrance. Blooms hold for a long time. They hold so well that it needs to be deadheaded.

She's stunning, Markay. Wow, that shading and all those ruffly petals!

Markay - holy cow!!! Talk about a good bloomer...and the blooms are AWESOME!!

Markay, Peach P is such a gorgeous rose, both in color and bloom structure. Is it a Jalbert rose? Does anyone sell it in the US? I know I'm uninformed about this rose. Yours is just exceptional. Diane

What a stunning rose! I wonder how these other bear roses are doing. Gel bearbear

Hi Diane, the rose was recently renamed Catherine Hershey. I believe All My Thme and Chamblees both offered it and I recall someone posting that Heirloom is going to offer Jalbert roses in the near future.

Wow!!! Peach P / Catherine Hershey is gorgeous! so beautiful

Markay: do you apply anti-fungals? How is PP/CH bloom production in July/August?

Fig: excellent discussion of rose importation matters.

I do not spray and peach perfection does get spotty over the summer, but she maintains good vigor. Rebloom is good, but in the heat of summer her color fades out to a buff color. I have posted pics of the summer blooms on Help me Find Roses, but don’t have them on my camera roll to share here.

Markay - I'm in awe of your Peach Perfection too!! I'd be beside myself if I had a rose like that...you really know how to grow roses!!

I am excited to hear that Heirloom may start carrying Jalberts. I have 3 and each one is perfection
