Fragrant, Yellow rose recommendation
Hi,
Any recommendation for a deep/bright yellow (not pale yellow) rose that is fragrant too. I have shortlisted Sunsprite and Midas Touch, but, none seems to be very fragrant (I thought Sunsprite was, but, Edmund's catalog calls its fragrance to be slight). I have Oregold which has nice color but no fragrance at all. Thanks, Debu. Portland, OR, Z6. |

I grow Midas Touch just north of you in Seattle. Planted it last year, so I
only have one year of experience to go by. It was not especially fragrant, but it could be because it's young. Wasn't a super-strong grower either compared to other roses planted at the same time, but that could be just mine. JimS. Seattle- Z8 "Debabrata Ghosh" wrote in message om...

Sunsprite *is* fragrant, and this rose even wins at times in the Fragrance class in Rose shows according to reliable Rosarians in Northern California. It appears as if Edmund's may have inherites a clone that is not and that is what they are offering . I got my fragrant Susnprite from a local nursery (Liggett's) that got sold to Ashdown Roses which bought all their stock as well. And their catalogue describes Sunsprite like this: "A dark yellow floribunda with intense fragrance from the Kordes family. The double blooms and bushy growth habit make this good for the mid-border spot needing a splash of yellow." So, it looks like may be Ashdown carries the fragrant Sunsprite that I purchased over here in San Jose. If you would like to search their site as well as to contact them: http://www.ashdownroses.com/sorttop.asp Another yellow rose that I find fragrant and does very well here is King's Ransom: http://www.helpmefind.com/sites/rrr/pl.php?n=3625 Lord Mountbatten is a fragrant floribunda that thrives he http://www.helpmefind.com/sites/rrr/pl.php?n=27642 Of course, Soleil d'Or is the most fragrant rose of any colour to my nose, but I cannot recommend it for your climate, since most people say that it is very susceptible to fungal diseases. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

It was the first rose I bought before I knew anything about roses and I bought it because of the fragrance. You know, the rose that smells so nice that you just have to keep putting it up to your nose so that you can smell it yet again An added bonus is that I find my two, I like it so much I bought another, do not get any black spot despite living in a humid climate, overhead watering three times a week and living next to Double Delight who does get black spot.

Not very fragrant, not much form, but a great, great garden rose. J. |

Fragrant, Yellow rose recommendation

If you're looking for a fragrant yellow, I'd recommend my favorite - Graham Thomas. Hey Mike, do you grow Austin's Golden Celebration? I have a baby (last year's ownroot from Muncy's Rose Emporium in FL) in my garden. I think I chose it because it is not supposed to get as big here at Graham Thomas, andbecause its color is supposed to be a bit deeper. I have it planted between Granada and Pat Austin. I like complementary/contrasting (or, some say "clashing" color combos!) Pat Austin has a weird scent, (part fruity part myrrh??) and is a wonderful coppery orange--very distinctive for an Austin, in color, anyway.) I grow Sunsprite as well, and Graham Thomas is much more fragrant than Sunsprite. Austins are the DEAL for those of us who love fragrance damned near best of all. I grow a whole bunch of them, all pretty young as I am a new rose grower. H |

Hey Mike, do you grow Austin's Golden Celebration? No I don't. It was on the wish list this year, but I bought so many climbers, Austins and other large roses, it got bumped. I also have many yellows, which is another reason it didn't make the cut. I really like the picture of Golden Celebration on the cover of Austin's catalog, though. I might break down and make room for it somewhere before the planting window closes this year :-) Mike z8 TX |

Golden Celebration? I have a baby (last
year's ownroot from Muncy's Rose Emporium in FL) in my garden. I think I IMO, the best Austins for fragrance and garden worthiness would be Golden Celebration, which frequently wins fragrance awards in rose shows, Tamora for its complex myrrh/citrus scent, and Fair Bianca for the total 'myrrh scent (close to mothballs by my nose)....Many of the Austins are simply gigantic in Southern California and the earlier ones disease-resistant only if by that term you mean 'will not actively seek out fungi and pests.'

The neck and the short- term memory are the first to go. Tamora for its complex myrrh/citrus scent, Not to mention being terminally cute. 2.5 feet tall and not an inch taller here! My blooms are very small, but I love them all. and Fair Bianca for the total 'myrrh scent (close to mothballs by my nose) You know, I like the myrrh scent, but I am off white roses for now. I have a baby La Paloma (is that an Austin??) that Ken Muncy sent me by mistake (supposed to be Perdita, one of only two mistakes he has made in many orders)and a whole bunch of white modern roses, and they all just age too ugly. The blooms. Then there are thrips. Most upsetting, my climbing white iceberg was killed by ground bees (they had to have ther new nest right THERE). The only white I like is the grandiflora White Lightnin', because it has such vigor, great scent, and is never out of bloom. Best (modern) white I have found for this area. ....Many of the Austins are simply gigantic in Southern California and As you know, I have not been growing long for anything to get gigantic here. |

Hey Shiva, if you are thinking that Golden Celebration is smaller than Graham Thomas, you are in for a surprise. It will get huge! It is classed in many places as a climber. The blooms have more petals than Graham Thomas and are in general prettier in my opinion. They also last longer. All in all it is a pretty great rose.

I really thought this one was an Austin. iceberg was killed by ground bees The fauna is telling you something..... Tell me! The little bahstahds STUNG me! Okay, here is the truth: I had Great Century there, and they made a nest underneath and around it. (These tiny bees love drought conditions. That is when they appear.) I quickly dug out GC (suited up, waited until they weren't swarming near the entrance, sliced the shovel down one side, ran away, waited, repeated, then heaved it out and into a waiting pot. I then treated the area with Very Nasty Bee Killer. A foam number you shoot into the holes. Left it alone for a month or so, observing just a few confused bees coming around at first, then none. Dug out the soil, replaced it, and put climbing Iceberg in, because I wanted to make a "room" there, with an arching trellis/whatever. Blinking bees snuck back in and stung my neck before I noticed they were back. So, let's hear from the anti-spray folks about how delicate bees are--how sensitive to chemicals. These got ten-day shots of orthenex all spring and summer, too. Sure they have extra sets of eyes and are developing feathers, but they can still sting! (G) JD |
