Hello The Old Rosarian:
If you receive this message that I sent from the Help Me Find site, could you please, if you still have Goldfassade, tell me how tall it grows, how fragrant (ie. very fragrant, some fragrance, no fragrance) is it an unfading dark yellow? I just bought a Goldfassade from Vintage Gardens and Gregg Lowery did not have any photos of this rose. Thank you. Margaret Lamb

Hi Lyn ! I always enjoy your photos and rose bushes. I am searching now to fill one spot in rose flower bed and would like to ask your advice . i have a small garden and try to choose fragrant and long bloomers.
Unfortunately, my Zephirine Drouhin boubon Bizot 1868 turned to be a once bloomer after 4 years.
But I miss her fragrance allure the whole season till next spring. Can you recommend a rose which looks and extremely fragrant like Madame Isaac Pereire rose (Zepherine Drouhin)but has good repeat at least 3 flashes for a season. I need to add it as a contract next to Cotillion Zary 1999

Thanks a lot,
Oxana

I tried to go to the link for Old Rosarian (www.oldrosarian.com) and was taken to a photo of a baby polar bear. Upon scrolling down, the script was in an oriental language.

I've been to this site before, so I know it exists.

Yes, it may have existed at one time but that same web address is now pointing to the different web site shown. This is not a HelpMeFind error. We'll contact this member to see if they know.

The Old Rosarian said on The Garden Web on October 19, 2010:

"I have taken my website off the Internet to re-design it and to also make a section which will feature mainly the disease free roses that are coming on the market from the States and Europe. Many countries in Europe have banned cosmetic spraying and breeders are doing an excellent job of introducing roses which have far superior resistance to black spot than the older ones. The States also has breeders which are concentrating on disease resistant roses. "

It seems the new website is not yet on stream.

It appears she let her domain name registration expire and someone else scooped it up.

This is a question for The Old Rosarian:I am thinking of getting "Johann Strauss" for my rose bed. Are the branches loose and droopy (like, Martine Guillot, or Graham Thomas) or are they strong enough to stand upright and be good for as a vase flower. Also, your site says it is BLACK SPOT PRONE,  whereas I have seen elsewhere that they claim it to be highly disease resistant. Any explanations?? I saw your photos of it on Help Me Find. They were great. I would appreciate any info you can give me regarding this rose, as well as whether you think it would be a good choice for my rose bed. I live in Raleigh, NC and I have 27 rose bushes. Thank you.Rose-A-Lynn

I have two Johann Strauss because I really like this rose. However I did get mine from the local nursery and who knows what the plants went through befrore I got them. This rose starts out healthy but by mid summer it has got black spot in my Pacific Northwest garden. It certainly puts out the flowers and they look attractive at all stages. The fragrance is also strong and it makes a tidy 3 foot bush and the canes are upright. In my opinion, this is one of the better Romanticas. I planted mine close to a garden bench because it always has flowers on it. I don't spray and the black spot doesn't seem to make any difference to this rose as it just keeps growing on. If I find a rose nursery that carries Johann Strauss I will definately get another.

I found that Roses Unlimited, in Laurens, SC, carries them. They have some left and are still shipping them growing in pots. Here is a link to their site: http://www.rosesunlimitedownroot.com/  . 


 The person I spoke with is their horticulturalist. I ordered one today.  I am wonderfing whether the greater amount of rainfall in your area has an effect, especially with no spraying.


Your account of its continuing blooms sounds like it is worth having.
