If someone who has never EVER grown roses was to come to me and ask what should they try my answer would be TIFFANY. It, unlike Queen Elizabeth which is also so easy to grow, it LOOKS like what people WANT a rose to look like: big bloom generally on a single stem, fragrant, warm pink lit gold....indestructable....hardy.............for the more saged growers I think it doesn't really "stand out"....it is one of those reliable "work horses" definately worth a place in the line-up but almost BECAUSE it lacks any sort of notable faults or ticks and is basically PINK it sort of gets a little forgotten about but really should be more lauded by us old rose souls..........60 years old and it is available own root, budded, mail order, upscale garden center, grocery store, probably in a fast food drive thru as well (!).........and always has been...............and always should be.........it IS what people THINK of when they think ROSE..........surprisingly it has been a parent to more notable varieties than one would think, too....some pass on the good more than others and Tiffany is one of those....I am a grower who slightly favors the abstreuse and forgets to pay attention to/love the more obvious who perform so well, are so strong, and who were introduced mid-century (my specialty/interest) and are just so SOLID.........this is a GREAT rose...........

For those who are "saged": compare Tiffany to Helen Traubel!!!! Both were AARS early 50's but 60 years ahead there is just no comparison. There wasn't 10 years later in my opinion. Traubel was still highly rated into the 70's but weak necks, no scent, can ball, color is a little mutable, and the plant just sprawls and sprawls messily.............when I think Tiffany seems "bland" I remind myself to look beyond the color and look at the plant, smell the bloom, and so on.............

I truly appreciate your comment, and completely agree. You led me to realize that I haven't paid due attention to my Tiffany, for just the reasons you gave. Now I can hardly wait for May/June so I can see what I've been missing!

The most reliable, disease free HT I've grown and I've grown MANY. Beautiful, fragrant and trouble free. I wish they were all like Tiffany! Definitely a fave!

Pam,


I also have been looking for a Tiffany Rose. I just found that Michigan Bulb has them.

For Goddess' sake, unless they've changed radically in the last year or two, don't EVER buy roses from Michigan Bulb. They're usually wimpy, half-dead bushes, and the MB folks traditionally do NOT make
it good if they send you lousy plants.

I purchased tiffany last season form a local home depot it was a potted plant. It had some issues with B.S. but i worked with it. I really thought tiff was not going to make it through the zone 6 winter. But she has taken off, she required very little prunning even though i didnt give much winter protection(little mulch). This rose has been very winter hardy to zone 6. Tiff is a vigorous grower, a must have.
