'Salet' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I have been growing this rose for 8 years now. I'm surprised that it says here that Salet only has an "Occasional repeat later in the season". In my garden in Belgium, it flowers a minimum of three times (planted facing south). I've read other comments that say the same thing. Salet is a repeat rose, not an ocasional repeat rose. You should change that.

In my garden in Zone 7b, Salet has its main flush in May/June and occasional blooms in August resp. October. The photos posted on HMF show a similar bloom repeat.

Very fresh blooms have a strong golden yellow flush at the petal base.

I asked Ralph Moore why he never used this one. He said he never cared for it.

It is the healthiest, and all-around best OGR here.

It surprised me too. Later in life he did use "Gabrielle Noyelle'. Go figure.

Gabriel looks like a nice rose. I guess the yellow blush I noticed helped be unpink. Also good to know it passes down repeat.

I live in zone 6, ten miles north of Boston on the ocean (in a small city). I have grown Salet in a shaded area for four years now and have never seen any winter dieback - no damage to the canes at all, not even at the very tips. I strongly suspect this rose is hardy north of zone 6, probably by more than one zone.
