Palatine needs better pictures on several of their roses. I thought about sending them some I took in Kordes' garden where the plants were literally covered in blooms.
My photos are all on Google now and I have not figured out how to label or organize them. That's a project for a rainy day. soon, I hope.
Let's see if I can recall from memory what I ordered from Palatine this year...
1. Ascot not positive I really need this but it gets rave reviews.
2. Buxom Beauty Biggest bloom I have EVER seen!
3. Caramella Fairy Tale a replacement for one that outgrew its spot
4. Floral Fairy Tale
5. Golden Fairy Tale
6. Kosmos Fairy Tale a replacement for the one that I killed by moving it
7. Lion's Fairy Tale
8,9. Terra Cotta aka Crazy Love 2 of these to frame an arch
10. Le Petit Prince
11, Foxy Lady
12. Garden Delight
13 Harlekin
14. La Rose de Molinard
15. Papa Meilland
16. Quicksilver I may cancel this one since I got it from Northland. The Northland one is small and own root, though, and I know Palatine would send a good sized one that's more likely to thrive.
17. Siena Vigorosa
18. Sweet Beauty
19. Westerland a replacement for mine that is too big to move
I really want Polar Express, but something needs to fall off the list if I go back and add it.
I love the Fairy Tale roses, and I need to know for sure how large they really will get this time around, because i don't want to kill any more by trying to relocate them. Will Floral and Lion's FT really stay at 3-4'? Caramella and Kosmos were 7' tall and wide when I attempted to move them before. My Brothers Grimm is 6' tall and wide, and Pompomella and 1812 are at least 3' each way, maybe more. All are super healthy. I know they aren't related except by name, but the whole series is just excellent under any name.
Every rose on the list has a spot set aside for it except for Ascot. Should I keep it?
I've changed my order twice and hate to bother Palatine by changing it again...although they don't seem to mind me adding more
