'Treasure Trove' rose Reviews & Comments

This rose does not seem to be in commerce in Australia, and only shows up as being in my garden and one other. It's not quite ''in my garden'' yet, as I have two plants grown from cuttings and they are still in pots.
Does anyone know if this cultivar handles pruning well? Is it possible to limit its growth? Or is it better to just let it run rampant?

It's on Ross Roses' catalogue but they don't list on hmf.
Mine was slowed down by competition with established trees, so I can't answer your question: but most ramblers I grew did what they wanted to.

I suppose I could try it with one, as an experiment, and let the other go feral as a backup. :)
Incidentally, it seems to have a very low thorn count so far, which is a nice trait if it persists.

I found it in Ross's ''complete'' PDF, on page 6 . It's listed as ''In collection'', which IIRC means they have access to a plant (or plants) at the old T4R nursery, but have not actually propagated from it yet. But good to know anyway.

No, it usually means they have a stock plant but if you want one you'll have to ask for it to be budded. My previous plant came from them originally, and cuttings went to you (and to Sue Z in SE SA).
Of course you know with spring-flowerers that pruning time is after flowering.

Hmm. I was thinking pruning in late winter would be perfect. ;)
The Morticia Addams style: prune off the blooms and keep the thorns on sticks.

David Austin mentions that this might be a Kiftsgate - Buff Beauty seedling. It certainly looks like it might be so.

I notice Greenmantle is selling this. What are the chances that it might be hardy colder than USDA zone 6?
