S&W Greenhouse Roses

Flutterby Want to tell me more about this one? It isn't a single like Mutabilis, is it? It's a single but not like Mutablilis, which is unusual in my mind because it throws flowers out one at a time. Have you ever seen a spray on Mutabilis? Good point! I hadn't noticed this. Mine is full of delicate new red growth at the moment. It is only in its second year. Very tough, nice mounded shape. Anyway, Flutterbye is mostly yellow, tho is has some peachy tones. And I know nothing else because it is so young. It grows large enough in SoCal to be grown as a climber. I will grow it as a shrub. Meaning you will allow the canes to "fountain" or cascade or whatever I mean? Or will you peg it? !Scentimental !Berries n Cream I want this. I'd heard it was weak grower, but I've got the striper bug (I wrote stripper bug the first time). Do you have Tropical Sunset? Not the best rose--no SCENT, either--but I still like it. Blooms yellow and orange, fades to delicious shades of peach and coral. Only rose I have noticed that ages to a prettier version of itself. Can't wait to execute Angel Face, but it won't die. Mine (an Edmund's bare root from my first batch, 2000 I guess) is languishing in a pot--looked at it the other day and there are jaunty little sprigs of new growth all along its cane. Cane, singular. Pathetic rose. I thought it was just me. A guy at Gardenweb grows a gorgeous one in Atlanta, I think it is. Huge and full of flowers. In ATLANTA. Even I shudder to think of what chemicals he must have to use. I'd a thought Westerland would be your preference. I moved my two 6 x 8 plants this winter, BR'd them. They're leafing out now. That's a huge rose here, not exactly a climber, more like a floribunda on steroids. I can't get the canes to bend, so the flowers end up high. Oooch! I killed Westerland in the overfertilization episode. Along with Distant Drums, Livin' Easy, Abraham Darby, and some $4 bagged faux Granadas that deserved to die--and some others I cannot bear to recall. I might reorder Westerland. It has scent, right? |
