Does anyone else have problems with Powdery Mildew on this rose? I do; I'm even wondering if I should bother keeping it. The colour doesn't even seem to be very out-standing either...

No, I haven't. Mildew is not a big issue in my Swiss garden, there is more blackspot. However, MVPN is also free of that.

Thank you, Jedmar. Our climates must be VERY different; I imagine your is much more temperate than mine, which is excessively hot and dry. I even get PM on my native oaks some years (like this one).Mount VPN just might not be adapted to my climate; in fact,many of the darker-coloured Noisettes may have to go. I'm planning on shovel-pruning my oldest Clbg Old Blush,too; though it's not a Noisette, it seems to have too many disease issues as well. I have 3 other Clbg O Bs that are better, so poil soil preparation may be part of the problem...

Yes, must be very different. Old Blush Climbing is doing very well here, has attained about 10-12 m and blooms on the rooftop!

O, that is breath-taking! I love Clbg OB so much that I am willing to overlook its' faults in my climate: some disease issues and not continuous bloom. I suspect that one problem in my climate for Clbg OB is the fact that it holds onto it's leaves and blooms during our warm winters,so when spring comes around and it does it's glorious spring flush, it feels exhausted ,gets blackspot and PM, drops its' leaves,and finally goes dormant. I am beginning to suspect that this rose and some of the noisettes can't cope with the long summer drought and heat, and the fact that in my garden they must rely on rainfall. In fact, I did just notice that almost all of the photos of Purple Mount Vernon on HMF are of plants growing in more moderate climates-climates that I believe DO benefit from summer rain.

The origin of most China roses are southern China. There, the winters are also mild, but summers are humid and rainy. I would surmise that keeping the foliage through the winter is not the issue, but dry summers may be. We have regular rain throughout the year, with a peak in summer. At least up to now. It seems that summers are becoming drier.

HelpMeFind has four files – which may all be the same rose:
“Cemetery Rose Chester County” – a light pink, 15’ rose.
http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.31680

“Chester # 2 Noisette”.
http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.36863

"Mrs. Woods' Light-Pink Noisette"
http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.26217

"Mrs. Woods' Lavender-Pink Noisette" (syn "Mount Vernon Purple Noisette")
http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.4336

This last rose is the same as “Chester Cemetery” (see 2009 ref) . But it is not clear whether this name is “Cemetery Rose Chester County” or “Chester # 2 Noisette”.

Then there is the question – is “Mrs. Woods’ Light Pink Noisette”s the same as “Mrs. Woods’ Lavender-Pink Noisette”, These are both listed as growing at the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden.

We would be very happy if Roses Unlimited would update their availability list at any time to include this if they are offering it for sale.

As these roses are not listed on their website, do you have advance knowledge of these becoming available ?

They are listed under the "What's Happening at RU" tab. It lists all of their new offerings for 2012.
