I just created a request to add a new public garden - Hagemann Ranch in Livermore. While I have used HelpMeFind for many years for my own garden, this is the first time I've created a public garden site.
I volunteer at the Ranch, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places, and have planted period roses on the site. If this site is approved, will I be named administrator so that I can add pictures of and comments about the site, as well the roses growing on the Ranch?
Many thanks,
Karen

This pink truly is shocking. Great find, Karen Jefferson.

In 2005 I saw a HP at Moser House, and noted a sepal was taking on the colour of the flower in the same way the same as ‘Paul Neyron’ can do. Have you noted anything odd about the sepals of "Moser House Hybrid Perpetual"?

The accolades for this find belong to Bev Vierra and Judy Eitzen. They organized a trip to Moser House, and I was fortunate to be invited. I took the cuttings for the rose and was successful propagating it. In addition to having a striking color of pink, it is incredibly fragrant. So far in Norhtern CA it has been disease free.

Hi Karen. Astounding photo of your house and roses! Could you please tell me what are the white roses grown along the foundation of the house?
Sincerely,

The white plants along the foundation are the rose 'Marie Pavie'. It is a great plant - nice foliage and blooms. The blooms start out with a blush of pink but in our late spring and summer the blooms quickly turn to white. In the fall the pink is slightly more noticeable. I live in Northern California and we do get about 3 weeks of 100 degree days in the summer time. The plants do well. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Karen for your detailed answer. I am glad I have a new plant of 'Marie Pavie'. Definitely will find a prime spot for it in my garden. So beautiful!
Thanks again,
Marina

The 'Kristina Louise' rose was named to remember and honor Kristina Louise Chesterman, an inspiring and wonderful neighbor of mine. The story of how the rose came to be named is told in the June 2015 newsletter of the American Rose Society - http://content.delivra.com/etapcontent/AmericanRoseSociety/attachments/June_2015_ARSYou.pdf.
The rose is moderately fragrant with lovely magenta-pink blooms. The shiny green foliage is the most beautiful and healthy in my northern California garden.
If you are interested in obtaining the rose, please contact www.KristinaChesterman.org or (facebook) Remembering Kristina Chesterman. Currently all proceeds go to Children to Love International, an organization focused on meeting the needs of suffering children of the world.
