I hope this doesn't seem unduly forward of me, but I notice you're just in Clinton. I'm in Rome. I was wondering if I could trouble you for a cutting of your Président Dutailly, if the plant is large enough to cut. I'd be perfectly willing to trade from my modest collection. Thanks.

Hi Christie,

You list Camelia Rose (the Cherokee Rose) in your garden. Can you tell me whether it has been winter hardy for you in Clinton NY? I was thinking of trying to grow it in Connecticut (zone 6A).

hi don - my apologies for the (very) delayed response. i have been out of commission for > 4 months with a broken leg.

cherokee does well for me, flowering heavily in june, just now showered with beautiful hips. it makes a great naturalized rose; it needs space to show it's natural form.

while i am in zone 5, cherokee is relatively protected in a wooded location. there is some dieback in winter, particularly in it's early years, but now is quite cane hardy.

again, sorry i didn't respond sooner, hope you went ahead as it should do well in connecticut.

good luck, christie

hi - just curious ... don't remember seeing the 'my favourites' tab before. somehow there are entries for roses and a garden under my favourites not that they aren't all lovely, but, in fact they are not my favourites and i am not sure how they got there. nbd, as i said, just curious as to how they did get there and if there is a way to edit that tab, christie

i was thinking of this today as i did 'aphid patrol' and now i feel a little disloyal indicating that the roses listed were not my favourites.

mary rose had what appeared to be a huge lump of aphids; on closer inspection, mrose is absolutely loaded with buds - and so, when she blooms, mrose will, in fact, be my favourite (certainly for that day :)) funny tho, usually souv. st anne's is my first and last rose to bloom (i swear, she comes out of the ground bearing buds).

also due to the favourites button, i visited the site of a garden that i had not seen previously, and, a lovely garden it is.

but, i had also wanted to comment on the 'references' tab - it has been my loss that i had not actively investigated this feature previously. i spend hours researching roses on the web and anguish over placement - and right in front of me is this great feature 'references' with a font of information that i had failed to take advantage of. i should have known better given the calibre of the site and the wealth of information found elsewhere on hmf.

many thanks, christie

My mother had this rose from 1925. It was destroyed before I could get a cutting to transplant. I am anxious to obtain another one so my children may have one. I understand there is a new, improved Dr. Van Fleet that blooms more than once a year but has the same disease resistance, etc. Please help me find a source for either. I am VERY interested in getting a source for buying the Dr. Van Fleet. I am 76 now and would like for my children to keep the family rose blooming at home.

hi mary:

perhaps you are thinking of new dawn, sometimes referred to as 'everblooming dr. vf'. new dawn is readily available, under roses search new dawn and click the buy from tab.

Just go to the rose page for 'Dr. Van Fleet' and click the BUY FROM tab. Drop down and you will see several nurseries listed that have indicated that they carry this rose in their inventory.

Smiles,
Lyn
