The grower said he'd found they "like it hot and dry" although I think he also said it didn't have a long flowering period. Spectacular colour though! Here in NSW, many DA rose growers have also told me that they find the DA apricot selections nearly always end up a cacky buff colour after some years.<br />I love all your big double blooms but I'm very taken with that unusual 'Alissar Princess of Phonaecia'. It reminds me of a Cistus flower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-85758751005549474352014-06-15T13:52:09.873-07:002014-06-15T13:52:09.873-07:00Hi Angie, hand up, I am out of the closet as a big...Hi Angie, hand up, I am out of the closet as a big Rose Geek!!

Lots of mine were out around mid May which is really early ! I would like to say that I never spray but I have sprayed occasionally, only if I think I will lose the rose if I don't. I try to keep them very healthy so that they can cope with pests etc, and am always looking at them to check for anything amiss.<br />I have a feeling Reine des Violettes won't do well for me somehow, it seems quite 'fragile' and not very robust. I love Gentle Hermione too, but Wollerton Old Hall is my best fave !!Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249587176933768298.post-3685401413214894342014-06-15T12:40:12.658-07:002014-06-15T12:40:12.658-07:00Your a great selection Jane - I think 'geek...Your a great selection Jane - I think 'geek' just about covers it ;) You certainly seem to know your thing.

I enjoyed looking at your wonderful collection. <br /> It has been a funny rose season , they came out so early and many are going over now.<br /> I love Gentle Hermione, such large beautifully shaped flowers and she is so healthy and vigorous. I shall be interested how you get on with Reine des Violettes. She does get terrible black spot with me as do all the Hybrid Perpetual. Maybe you will have better luck.
