Great-Grandma's Rose has buds
"Lemmon's Immortal", I guess is the name I'll be using.
Imagine that. It's still only about a foot tall, and it has buds. None of the other roses are even close to budding. I think it's a rose that blooms on old wood, since the two new suckers do not have blooms and show no evidence of getting them any time soon. The blooms are all on new growth off the two old canes. They are in clusters of 2 or three buds each. I put up a couple of pics at http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/huskies4a.../Roses&.view=t If you click on the thumbnail, you'll get a bigger pic, and an even bigger one if you click it again. Gosh, this is exciting. I can't wait until they open. CJ |

Gosh, this is exciting. I can't wait until they open. Lemmon's Immortal looks very very healthy. This *is* exciting! That foliage is certainly old rose-looking, with it's portland/damask rounded shape and color. Hybrid perpetuals like Portland from Glendora and Barbara Worl share that leave shape. I put together a webpage for a rose that I ran into and wanted help identifying. It's one idea of the factors that real experts use to classify roses and deduce their genetic heritage from their physical characteristics. Believe me, I'm no expert, but once you have these details, there's one somewhere who knows your rose. http://home.attbi.com/%7Ecassbernste...s/TamGlow.html Don't forget to take some good pictures of those buds when they are nice and fat but before they open. The shape and character of the buds and sepals are a good clue, like the shape and character of the prickles (thorns). -- -=- Cass Zone 9 San Francisco Bay Area http://home.attbi.com/~cassbernstein/index.html |

In article ,
says... Don't forget to take some good pictures of those buds when they are nice and fat but before they open. The shape and character of the buds and sepals are a good clue, like the shape and character of the prickles (thorns). Oh, sure. THAT comment sent me out in the rain to snap some pictures. Now I'm going to be out there every 6 hours or so to make sure I don't miss the optimal time to get a photo. :-) Anyway, here are the ones I snapped today, they are the first two photos. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/huskies4a...src=ph&.view=t Looks like the bud on the far left might be starting to show just a bit of color between the (I think I'm looking at the right thing) sepals. At least, what I assume are sepals. I am not yet sure of the parts of the flower. Gosh, this has turned into a real project. I really like your page on the rose you want to identify. I am not sure of all the technical terms that go along with mine, though. Maybe I'll try to put up a real webpage instead of my yahoo album and that will be easier to deal with. CJ |

These two pages give names to parts of roses you never knew existed:
