I think their floppability factor is an unavoidable byproduct of their great big beautiful many-petaled blooms. I mean, the scent alone probly weighs a good six ounces, you know? Of course he recommends they be planted in 3s. More $ in his pocket. The ones I had, except LD Braithwaite, did not really have big beautiful blooms. One of them, probably Fair Bianca, .consistently got smaller and smaller flowers as the summer progressed until at the end she was like a mini Meanwhile, I planted two hybrid tea bare roots in the same big hole. Ever hear of that? Yeah, and? AND I am about to plant three Distant Drums together, and two Circus. Why? Quicker gratification. When you come right down to it, many rose look better faster planted in groups. I might plant them a foot apart. Hell, I can always move them. To each her own. BTW, I finally got my Mutabilis! If I'm buying more than one GT, that's fewer different roses that I'm able to buy. Oh puleeeze. You are clearly buying too many superfluous things. Like food. G If you only knew. And it's more $$ in David Austin's pocket so he doesn't have to breed roses that can stand on their own. Very prissy, Missy. What can I say? There are a lot of roses out there. I can bust my budget and go bankrupt buying all the roses I want and still not get to the Austins. I have Tamora--cute, cute, cute! 2 feet tall and wide! Many flowers! want Golden Celebration--young not familiar Jude the Obscure--Suzannes, a monster bloom machine and delicious heard good things Abraham Darby--young ditto The Squire--young ditto The Prince--young ditto Pat Austin--WORLDS apart, a really different Austin, love it! ditto all on their own roots from Muncy's or Michael's I want: Perdita not familiar Evelyn my grandmother in law's name. Won't be getting it! Nice to see you back. Thanks. |
