New thread! ![]() Lovely rose - does it have a name? ![]() Today is International Children's Day and what better way to celebrate than with ?? Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice! |

Yes, the name of the rose is 'Baby Talk' ![]() ![]() A couple of more .. ![]() Another synonym for 'Gina Lollobrigida' is 'The Children's Rose' ... a 1988 Meilland introduction 'Playmate' bred by Colin Horner and introduced in 2002 is also called 'The Children's Rose'. We don't have this one in our database, so here's a link: https://www.helpmefind.com/ros... 'Frederic Mistral' was introduced in 1994 by Meilliand in 1994 as 'The Childrens' Rose' I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer. |

Today is American Indian Citizenship Day and the only rose (with a picture) in our DB with 'Indian' in its name is (aka PEAperfume, Sweet Perfume, Sweet Senses) Bit out of season, but it is a lovely rose! (What exactly is an Indian Summer? More info here: http://www.almanac.com/content...) Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice! |

I succumbed to the lure of my work roses. Had to do alot of digging and research to find one big enough and hardy enough. ![]() |

Update on my new rose. Turns out there were 2 in there!! I have them both planted together for now but I will have to go out there and use an actual shovel instead of a trowel to get them deep enough. If I can find a good spot I might move one somewhere else but may end up just leaving them in there together. Limited on good spots where the gravel dust can't get them. |

No wonder the plant looked so lush! Porkpal |

It fell apart when I took it out of the pot and that's when I realized I had 2. That makes up for the $30 and a good hour or so checking our database on various ones trying to find the right height, zone and color. Took forever to find a rose that met my requirements: at least 4 feet, not yellow, white and preferably not red since all those are in that area, and hardy to at least zone 5. Yeah, I was being picky. ![]() |

What a nice selection Home Depot is offering! I'm going to be in Lexington tomorrow, think I need to check and see what's in stock there! "...and don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous." Rumi |

My NOID yellow rose is almost at peak bloom! ![]() I had to save this guy from a climbing vine a few years ago, I'm so happy to see it doing so much better. ![]() |

It is doing well. Lovely soft yellow blossoms that go well with the iris. Nice. When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes. |

A bunch of us coworkers tried growing Love a couple years ago. Every single one died and that included at least one person who can stick a rose in the ground and have it worship his feet. We have it again at work but I decided I wasn't messing with a fussy plant again. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I am still pushing to get the garden ready for the serious heat that will be here very shortly. Most of the work I am doing should have been completed by the first of May ... oh, well. I have taken over 300 photos because they are the only roses I will see in my garden for a while ... ![]() I also took a lot of photos of the garden because I am re-working a most of the beds. I'll only include a few here to remind me why I am working so hard. Here are a couple of shots of the two roses I planted about month too late: Kardinal ![]() Sexy Rexy ![]() A couple of bloom shots ... I took about 40 photos of the ONE bloom and few buds on Double Delight. The light this time of year made me do it ... ![]() Misty Dawn Tom Thumb Silver Cloud The Woodshed Bed ![]() The slope behind the house pad garden ![]() ![]() ![]() That's r. cania peaking out in the upper right part of the shot of the slope. A visitor watching me dis-bud the garden ![]() I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer. |
