Quite a good crop of hips this winter. I cut open 10 and got 6 seeds worth planting, though I'm not expecting much. Larger than average for Tea seeds.

Any success - result with the seeds?... I've just found quite a few hips on my young LH clg. and i wonder if i should check and sow the seeds. Haven't checked the original LH form's descendants though, if there are any interesting ones among them

No success at all. But I'd try your seeds anyway.
Lady Hillingdon had descendants as seed parent, but none are still around: which may mean they weren't much good. But many prize-winning roses have vanished too.
Some of its offspring as pollen parent are still grown.

Thank you very much for the reply! Yeah, surfed through the descendants, only found one, a brand new one - it's quite pretty actually. We'll see. This cultivar is somehow precious to me from the first time i saw it (and i always tended to choose plants based on this), i might try the seeds, who knows. At least something nice for the back of the garden :)

I'm not good at identifying roses, but Lady Hillingdon is one that can be recognised from a long distance.

Yes, probably that's why i've always wanted it too. :)
Secretly hoping that in a couple of years an offspring will be similarly noticeable (well good luck to me :D )

One of the roses which may be reluctant to climb if grown from a cutting.

Interesting. Does it still get fairly boofy? Or does it imitate the standard bush form? I've found the bush doesn't seem to be one of the larger Teas.

Agree, the bush doesn't get as big as some Teas. The climber is moderate.

So if it was grown from a cutting would it be likely to just stay around 1.5-ish metres (same as the bush form)? Or would it get bigger (2.5 to 3-ish) but not really climb as such? If the latter, that could still be a nifty thing.

I think it's the luck of the draw, or perhaps, where you take the cutting from. You get either the usual bush or a climber.

I just wanted to ask someone how Lady Hillingdon cl. does when grown from a cutting (and does it root well at all).

I bought a bareroot plant last spring and it started off very well in zone 6-7 (rather 7, next to a south facing wall, altough rather shaded in the heat), growing to about 7 feet (2 meters) and having around 8 nice, near-basal branches, was already flowering till frosts.

I spend quite some time in Greece and if it roots i wanna plant one there as well, i guess at least zone 9-10, proper mediterranean island climate.

is it as healthy on own roots as on graft?


Thanks Peter

Teas on their own roots; "The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third year they leap, and then they go on forever."
I grew all my Teas on their own roots in zone 9b. I guess it depends a bit on the soil you'd be planting in, but I'd try it, using a sprinkle of water-saving crystals in the soil and plenty of mulch if you're going to be away a fair bit of the time.

Thank you very much for the advice, i'll definitely try it. I think watering won't be a problem, i'll be there enough from Spring till Fall to take care of it :)

Is Lady Hillingdon Climbing a vigorous rose? How does it do in a hot climate (like South Texas - zone 9a?). Thanks.

Lady H thrives in my Mediterranean climate, zone 9b. The full blast of summer sun can bleach the colour so you might want to avoid a west-facing position. See the description for size.
