Moss Rose.  Lambert, Germany 1911. 4cm (1.6 in.) Scent strong and sweet. Flowering once, mid-season. Height 2.5m (8.2ft.) Spread 2m. (6.6 ft.)  Hardiness Zone 5.   Named after the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), Goethe  is something of a mystery rose. It is probably a cross between a multiflora rambler and a moss Rose.  It makes a shrubby climber, whose heavily mossed buds, stems, and sepals are a remarkable contrast to the small, lightly cupped, dark pink flowers. These have a white centre and occasional white flashes on some of the petals, as well as very pale stamens. They come in clusters of up to 15, elegantly spaced so that each flower can be studied clearly. The bristly moss starts on the buds and pedicels, then runs down on to the stems, where it emerges as a dense covering of long slender prickles. They form an attractive pink haze on the outline of the new growths and a bushy hard, discouraging defence around the oldest stems. This formidable armature has led to ‘Goethe’ being recommended as a hedging Rose. The leaves have a blue cast and are no strangers to blackspot and mildew.

‘Imp’. Floribunda. Origin: Dawson, Australia, 1971. Parentage: ‘Daily Sketch’ x ‘Impeccable’. Size 7cm. (2.8in.) Scent: light. Flowering: Repeats reliably. Height: 1.2m (3.9ft). Spread: 1m (3.3 ft) . Hardiness Zone 6. The flowers of ‘Imp’ are immensely variable and yet also very distinctive. Basically greenish-white in colour, the backs of the petals have thick crimson edges, which later become thinner and paler, developing irregular bands, stripes, and splodges of crimson, pink, and lilac. The flowers also open out flat as they age, so that more white is visible, contrasting with the crimson backs of the globular, unopened buds. They come in rather tight clusters of up to 15 flowers (very occasionally singly, but most usually in clusters of 3-7) and have thick stems. The plant is bushy, stout, compact, and healthy, with the usual Floribunda foliage, but the flowers are very handsome and unusual. An individual bloom makes a striking buttonhole. George Dawson (1904-91) was a retired market gardener from Fern Gully in Victoria, Australia. ‘Imp’ appeared in the Australian Roses postage stamp series in 1983..

Mme. Alice Garnier Wichurana Rambler. Origin Fauque, France, 1906. Parentage: R.wichurana x 'Mme. Charles'. Flower size 4.5cm (1.8in.). Scent Strong and fruity. Flowering: Almost constant. Height: 3m (9.8ft). Spread: 2m (6.6ft). Hardiness Zone 6. Such a pretty rose as 'Mme. Alice Garnier' should be in every garden. It is small and neat in all its characteristics, and lacks the intense vigour of most Wichurana ramblers. it is perfect for small gardens and flowers continuously. In fact, it was the first continuous-flowerng Wichurana rambler to be introduced. Its flowers are fully double with neat, quilled petals that reflex as they expand. Their overall colour is apricot, with deep terracotta at the centre, and paler, pinker edges. The petals backs are darker, so the flowers appear to fade to a much softer shade of pink as they open out. They have a delicious scent of ripe peaches and come in clusters of 3-15. The plant has dark pink stems and small, neat, glossy, medium-dark green leaves. Its long, slender, often prostrate stems will eventually reach 3m (9.8ft). And it flowers right through to late autumn.
