Comte de Chambord
This warm weather in Mississippi is really giving me spring fever. I
saw a rose "Comte de Chambord" at a local nursery but am not familiar with it. According to the info I've gathered from the internet so far is that its a Portland Damask, fragrant and repeats. Has any one had any experience with it and if so please give me the details (good and bad) and does it infact repeat. Hamp |

Hamp, I grow this gorgeous rose, and find it totally lovable and very easy to grow in my climate, where it is disease resistant. I had grown the David Austin rose Gertrude Jekyll, which is a descendant of CdC for many years, before I decided I needed the parent of my beloved Gertrude J., and got this gorgeous rose. CdC repeats beautifully for me and is also very disease resistant, not that the latter is too tough in my climate for many roses. Anyhow, this essay by Paul Barden is totally accurate about this rose, and he mentions that the rose is very disease resistant even in his much more humid climate (Zone 8 in the humid part of Pacific Northwest): http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/damasks/chambord.html -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

In the Southeast, it will black spot rather badly, but if you spray it, it will
be ok. It does repeat quite nicely. |
