There is a new line of Kordes Roses being offered by Palatine and Northland Rosarium. These roses are not listed anywhere. Not on Koreds website, help me find, google, ect. In conversations with both nurseries neither can supply plant info. Carol at Northland contacted her suppier who was unable to help. Carol was kind enough to offer 4 Flower Circus varieties free of charge as test plants to gather information on them. I was curious about diease resistance, possible balling of many petaled rose, ect. The only info found was that a sister company in USA working with Kordes may be growing them for release in states to compete with Radlers Knock Outs ect. Would anyone know of these roses. Thankyou so much Pat W

Hi, Pat W.
Flower Circus Roses can be viewed on the Kordes Rosen website in German. There are about 25 varieties. They are not Standard roses, however. This is the Kordes line of patio roses for growing in pots. I'm not sure they compete with Knock Out. They are described as "vigorous" and "compact" and are shown growing in about 7 gallon containers.

They will be added to HMF in the next day or so. Thanks for pointing them out!

Hi Andrew. I am not sure what the average lifespan of a rose is, I think it depends on the class of rose. According to Guinness Book of Records, the world's oldest rose is in Tombstone AZ. It is a Lady Banksiae which is 122 years old and 8600 sq feet. I personally have a Rosa Wichuraiana which is over 30 years. Jody

My father-in-law has a Peace and Mr. Lincoln which are nearly fifty years old. Given good growing conditions, and nothing terrible befalling them (severe cold, disease, etc) I think 10-20 years is not uncommon. I've got a couple which are 13 years old and going strong, and they've been moved all over creation as I've moved three times.

I've documented a rose that is about 100 years old, planted in the garden of a family home that remains in the same family. The plant is enormous, at least 15 feet wide and 12 feet tall, the variety we call 'Le VĂ©suve.'

One thing that might help in knowing is that roses will ONLY bloom at their highest point.  Some climbers are so vigorus that they need to be tricked because each cane grows so straight and tall that is takes a lot MORE energy for the nutrients to reach the top.  Next season you might want to try (if you have a structure to attach to) weaving your rose canes from side to side (bending ever so slightly at about a 45 degree angle with each turn) up whatever structure you are climbing on, attaching loosely with twine or light fishing line.  By doing this the rose will want to produce a new sprout of leaves with a new cane (usually at each turn) which will then grow straight upward hence tricking the rose in creating more high points.  Providing that all the appropriate nutrients are given for said rose you should start seeing blooms next year.


In the spring I also pick a main cane that is largest and cut back at lease 1 1/2 - 2 feet from the ground.  This cut cane will produce a smaller cane allowing more energy to flow into the remaining canes and also allowing you to train the new small cane. 


Hope this helps,
