Apparently it is a florist rose that, in the garden, is a very bright (some say garish) yellow and orange, not at all the tannish rose it is in the greenhouse. I also heard that it has a lot of fungal disease. Perhaps someone who grows it will chime in. This rose has always intrigued me. |

Leonides
Does anyone have Leonides? How do you like it? I'd be interested in feedback too. Leonides is hands down my favorite florist rose - I buy for next to nothing in growers bunches at Costco when they have it. Would love to grow them, but have heard that the gorgeous color is consistent only in the Equadorian imports, not in home gardens. Anybody tried growing it in No. California? NT |

I did ask our local nursery person about Leonides and last yr. they,
evidently, carried it but it had so many problems...mildew, diseases, etc., that they didn't reorder this yr. But someone did have a gorgeous bloom at our local Flower Show this yr., so someone must be doing ok with it. I am in Southern Calif. Linda |

So far no problems with mildew or anything else. I was having a rust & mildew problem with all my roses earlier this year but it seems to have cleared by itself. I think the rain, then sun, then rain, then sun, then rain again caused the problem. You see, we're not used to this in So. CA! I'll post again after my Leonida blooms. (that's how it's spelled on the tag so I hope we're talking about the same rose) BTW, I did see a fully bloomed bush at a nursery last month. The colors were true to form. I hope my rose is the same or I'll totally regret not purchasing the one I saw. Dorys |
