Your best and worst rose?

Oh, say it ain't so. I'm dying to have Jaune Desprez. I photographed a rose on a commerical buidling that we think is Jaune Desprez: http://www.rosefog.us/Resources/TamGlow.html Well, as I said, it's not really her fault. She grows on a fence and the vile neighbours have let vast weeds grow up on their side of it. Also the caterpillar attack was bad. She also needs a warm spring. she has flowered - she's not a dead loss - but she hasn't been as floriferous as last year. Anyway her flowers are so beautiful that even a few seem worth it. When I went back to collect cutting this summer, they had cut it down to 18 inches. Now I ask you: how can someone cut this down? http://www.rosefog.us/Resources/WholeTamGlow.jpg It grows in a 12 inch strip of soil by the gas meter in the tidal flood zone that is under water at least 10 times a year. -- Jane Lumley |
