Is this E. Veyrat Hermanos?
I slammed on the brakes and cut off a bloom of a spectacular climbing
tea growing in the soil around the P G & E meter of a local video store. The button eye is very distinct. Is this E. Veyrat Hermanos? If so, I want many: http://home.earthlink.net/~cbernstei...EVeyratHuh.jpg |

Where, may I ask, did you get the latter? The rose painted on the bowl looks like my all-time favourite species rose, R. foetida bicolor, FWIW g. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

If so, I want many: Hello Cass dear, Not if the one we have (which I grew before and it has the same characteristics is the real one) that around this part of the world is some times called Pillar of Gold (?). The stems are more reddish-purplish, the foliage is shiny and dark green, and the color is too pale if compared with EVH. The color in EVH is buff, almost dark yellow and the reverse of the petals is pink, and I do mean pink. It could very well be that depending on the zone and the sun exposure it may be lighter there, but I don't see the amount of petals closing into the eye as the one did here. Also the fragrance is very, very strong and it has a note of sweetness at the beginning that turns into a "darker" or more intense smell, almost devoid of sweetness after the first impression. Mine should bloom this year but then again...Pat Henry who sold it to me said they were 1 year old plants so we will see. It is gorgeous whatever it turns out to be and I agree with you, "we" need many. Would the people who do the landscape for the place know what they planted there? Somebody may, in Portland EVH can easily reach between 12 and 14 feet so down there it may be even taller. But the pink edges are nothing like our old EVH. I am sure you already checked this out however here is a poor but accurate shot as far as color and shape http://www.country-lane.com/yr/veyrat.htm notice the leaves and also the fact that the color is truly a buff yellow ochre pastel peach apricot soft gold with a solid pink reverse- How is that for an accurate description? Now, your bloom for some reason I cannot explain because it is not a tea but a wichurana rambler, it reminds me of a very young Rene Andre which I also used to grow and I have now in the east side bed hopefully getting on with the business of expansion. This is some gorgeous bloom from a very nice lady in Canada, but she has magic fingers so I will never expect my Rene to look anything like this, but your bloom looks a bit like my old RA so, again time, space, sunlight and so forth...who knows? http://www.helpmefind.com/sites/rrr/pl.php?n=5188 EVH color and fragrance plus the stems are dead giveaways. Whatever you have there is worth a trip to the place to do some snooping. Or request with a big smile after renting some videos permission to take some cuttings. Try asking Alice, she has a knack to recognize the old ones. I am still an amateur... Allegra |
