TEAS OR NOISETTES by "Wild Rose"
"Unfortunately we cannot determine its parentage; it came up, as Jacotot himself told me, as a chance seedling in his garden at Dijon. He pointed out to me the very spot."

In the Dictionary of Roses in color by S. Millar Gault & Patrick M. Synge published 1971. The rose Glorie de Dijon is described as "buff-orange in centre fading to pale creamy yellow on outer petals....sometimes tinted with apricote -pink ". The picture of the rose is distinctly orange -yellow. What has happened to this rose in the years since, it is now described in the literature as pink. are we dealing with the same rose ?

I can relate to this comment, indeed mine GdJ has rather subtle color, I would call it apricot, but it has a depth to it. Also regarding fragrance I would not call it strong, in a sense that it does not hang in the air like perfume cloud, but if you smell the rose itself, you most likely will remember that smell as being quite exquisite and powerful.

I know different times of the year and different growing regions can result in a variation in colors. Like my Ms. Dudley Cross which is usually butter yellow and fades to a soft pink in the color months, during the summer just blooms solid pink because of the heat.
I just got my first Gloire de Dijon a few weeks ago and it arrived from further North with several pale yellow to apricot blooms on it. I guarantee you the blooms that develop here will be darker if they develop at all during the summer. |

As shown by the photos tab the color of this rose is very rich and can change from one condition to another (climate, heat, hygrometry, time, age of the plant, ...) and may be according to the eye and cultural habit of the witness.
Mines (45 km east of Paris, France) are changing from light yellow to almost pink-abricotish but always incredibly beautiful

I have a seedling that just wants to bloom and not grow. I keep snapping off the buds to try to force the energy of the plant into growth....but it just keeps making buds. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
