As promised by my wife a photo of the first rose to begin opening on the 'stick' she received from Peter Beale Roses that was labelled "Pierre de Ronsard'.

A photo of my Pierre de Ronsard in its full size. I watched the video Pallas recommended but obviously I have to wait until more branches grow on my 'stick' before I train it. However, I strongly believe that this rose is very suitable for mediterranean climates as the flower lasted for more than a week unlike the others that died as soon as the sun shone on them.

Something slightly different. A lady here in Cyprus sent me the following photo of one of her roses asking if I had any information about what was happening to it. She says that as some flower buds open they produce not one flower but several within the same single bud.
Any of our rose experts out there have any comments, please?

Far from being an expert in roses but to me seems like phytoplasma.

Thanks for that, Andriy, I'll pass the info on.

A little over a year ago my wife posted a photo of a newly acquired rose that was labelled as 'Andreanna's Parfum'. I have been unable to find any info on roses going under this name. However, the plant has flowered again this year and the photo does not come close to doing justice to the velvety look of the petals.

I have taken  2 photographs of our' Australian roses' .  The graft was  brought by my Aussie cousin  from his Rose garden in Adele.  It is tough, survives our hot dry summers and never gets aphids.  The other photo is of my Pierre de Ronsard.  It has a solitary bud.

Good morning Charitea

Gorgeous red roses -- such deep velvety colour.

I think our 'Pierre de Ronsards' must be siblings!! Mine also has just the solitary bud and has been generally slow to settle in. The flower is just luscious though (I had one [!] last year too) , so I am being patient 😇.

I've found that the roses I have planted have varied hugely in the time they take to settle in: after 4 years, 'Madame Alfred Carriere' has finally taken off (as in 'stand back' taken off), 'Madame Pierre Oger' went in only last year and now has 10 buds, 'Lady Emma Hamilton' also took her own sweet time, about 3 years, and is now filling out nicely. 'Abraham Darby' just died, probably my fault.

Alistair I think it was who referred me to a photo of a hedge of 'Pierre de Ronsard' in Australia, glorious, glorious it was. I am still hoping to get even halfway there, even if it takes a few years!

Hi Pallas, I also saw that Australian photo.  I hope to live  long enough for the rose sticks to flourish.  I am tempted to try some of the ones you had success with. I have had many roses die but my Rosa moscheta has been flowering well. I looked for it for years until I spotted it at a monastery.  I  visited three times to get cuttings. Each time I used different ways of asking for another cutting. I bribed the nuns with vegan cake, a book about  flowers and a potted flower.  A few years later l was told of a nursery that had  them for sale. I bought three.  All died but my monastery cutting survives.  It is not a spectacular rose but for me it was a rose from my childhood.

Lovely story about the cuttings from the monastery Charithea - " where there's a will there's a way" springs to mind.

When I arrived at my current house I inherited 5 roses. Only one received any direct sun and that was in the shallowest soil imaginable. With a little bit of repositioning the yellow climbing rose is now over 6 feet long and is producing a mass of flowers which fade in their second day to off-white.

The second rose I moved is just beginning to show signs of life. If I get flowers I will post a photo.  Adding ash to the soil of the other 3 roses has produced flowers on 2 of them. 1 pale pink  and the other darker pink but with paler backs to the petals. I think the third will have to be moved.

I have no idea what kind of roses they are, Any suggestions welcome.

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.

David I don't know the names of any your roses but I love the pink very much. It has an air of gentle , soft beauty to it.
