Kirk Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Shopping for bare root roses yesterday...this is uncanny- a rose named Pop Art that has 'rock and roll' in its hybridization: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie b Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Looks like a beautiful choice! Christian Bédard is a bit of a rock star in the world of roses, so you've got a gold rock n roll record! https://www.rose.org/single-post/2018/05/23/2017-rising-star-awardee-christian-bedard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie b Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Tom Carruth is no slouch in the world of rose breeding, so Pop Art should be a great rose. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_'Rock_%26_Roll' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie b Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 My garden does well with antique roses as they are quite resistant to pests and disease. I'm one of those crazy rose ladies who takes cuttings from roses thriving on neglect on abandoned properties. You know they are hardy to flourish on neglect. Can't wait the get my hands back in my garden soil. 🌹 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Oh sudie b, you said the magic word "garden" I hope to have one someday. 😀 Right now it's 19 degrees and my windows have ice on them. ugh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda B Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Love the roses.. I checked them out but unfortunately as I suspected they won't grow in our climate region. The ones that do grow well here still need special care and attention... as most do anyway. However, Wild Roses Grow like weeds here .. my dad put a wild rose bush in my mom's Garden once and it has a root system that we still can't get rid of. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 And right now… it’s the blizzard of 2022. Hunker down. Susie, you sound like a botanist and a green thumb. I do a little veg garden most years (except the past couple)—love doing that. I also wish I could get a lemon tree going. Had a couple die on me. I know that sounds crazy for someone in New England, but a friend of mine has a successful lemon tree that gives him lemons every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen G Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I've got one of these on order! I had no problem growing roses while we lived in Illinois; hopefully I'll find a "feature" spot in my garden for this beautiful rose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
