Please. As someone who is just now experiencing what three and four year plants are like, I must say this to you: horsehooey! Why don't you go get some Madame de Furriers de caca roses and leave the Austins to those of us who love them. Tradescant just bloomed for the first time this year, and MY GOD. Truly a deep wine color, rosy, rosy, "now THAT'S what a rose should smell like!" fragrance, and that odd, furry sheen the most velvety roses have. A masterpiece. I am buying more. Actually, I had these roses for several years. They were among the first we ever got. 3-4 year plants. And my cultivation methods were impeccable because I was not so busy then as I am now. Not to mention that the soil at our old house was just incredible, dark and loamy, not like the clay we have here. As for leaving the Austins to those who love them: you're welcome to them. I won't stand in your way. BTW Madame de Furriers de caca? Meanwhile, I planted two hybrid tea bare roots in the same big hole. Ever hear of that? Yeah, and? And they look great. Blue Nile. Another Tragic Diva-- times two. Too bad it takes 2 roses to look great. To each her own. BTW, I finally got my Mutabilis! Oh, man. You are going to love this rose. Or, maybe not. We have different taste in roses. Dunno if'n I'm gonna have the opportunity to love it. It arrived looking dead and has not improved. |
