My HMF:

RoseJames Galway most recent 16 JUL 17 SHOW ALL

Initial post 27 DEC 05 by moyesii

From the photos, it's interesting to notice all the color variations in this rose. This is a very vigorous and healthy plant for me. Disease-free (in zone 6b, New York) and did I mention that it's vigorous? Climbs easily to 8-10 ft, but the canes are very stiff. Sets many hips.	REPLY

Good point about the color variation. I'm considering this plant and need to know if it's my computer display that's making the flower colors look like they vary from apricot-orange to lavender-pink. If I order one what will I get? Please let me know whether yours is apricot or pink or both. In other words do your plant's flower colors tend towards blue-pink or yellow-pink? Thanks, Susan	REPLY

It's not your computer's fault :) This rose can really produce those two different colors. I think it depends on your climate/weather. I get mostly pink blooms, but I got some apricot blooms last year for the first time.	REPLY

Thank you. Bought James Galway as own-root. Very healthy in its 2nd flush. The scent went from light in 1st-flush to STRONG in 2nd flush (as the bush matures). Blooms well in partial shade, 4 hours of morning sun. James as 2nd-year-own-root has a light carnation scent when freshly picked, then ages to a strong old-rose scent & pure heaven to sniff. I would place the quality of scent among the top 10 out of my 110+ own-root roses.

RoseGloire de la France (hybrid centifolia, Bizard 1828) most recent 2 SEP 07 SHOW ALL

Initial post 4 JUN 06 by moyesii

I've determined that the plant I received from Pickering is actually not 'Gloire de France'. (See photo in Photos section.) Last year when I became suspicious that I might have a mislabeled plant, I purchased another 'Gloire de France' from Amity Rose & Garden Nursery. That plant bloomed this year, and it is different from Pickering's. Amity's 'Gloire de France' has the larger, fuller blooms that I was expecting and matches The Old Rosarian's photo. Another frustrating part of this mystery is that I have three plants that are supposed to be different cultivars, but seem identical in all aspects:

'Gloire de France (not)' from Pickering

'Blush Hip' from Pickering

'President de Seze (not)' from High Country Roses

You can see my photo of 'President de Seze (not)' at http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?i=A35227&tab=32

Moyesii: I'd like permission to use your photo of Duc d'Angouleme in an article for the American Rose Socity's magazine, for which you would receive photo credit. Thanks for your prompt reply on this. Jeff	REPLY

Hi Moyesii: Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I received permission a couple days ago from the only other poster of Duc d'Angouleme on HMF to use their pix. Since ARS staff needed to get the article laid out ASAP, we used the other one. Thanks again for the permission, and I hope we can use one your shots in the magazine in the near future. The Duc was really a nice shot. Jeff Wyckoff	REPLY

PhotoRembrandt Van Ryn most recent 11 FEB 07 SHOW ALL

Initial post 14 JAN 07 by Anonymous-101312

I am considering purchasing this rose for my garden, but would like to know more about it's garden performance. How is the rebloom and disease resistance? Does it make an attractive garden shrub as well? Thanks for any information you can provide! sally love	REPLY

Hi Sally, I live in Long Island, NY, and my climate is humid in summer. 'Rembrandt van Ryn' is pretty healthy, but it defoliates from blackspot in the summer. The blooms are just medium size, but the colors are amazing. Without leaves, you can guess that it doesn't produce a lot of bloom, and hasn't put on much growth since I planted it in 2003. I wouldn't say it's a great garden performer in my climate, but if blackspot is not a problem for you, then I say go for it!

Thanks so much for your input. I live in the north valley of Calif.--very hot and dry in the summer. Depending on the year (if we get extended warm spring rains) blackspot can be a problem here, so I appreciate your comments. Perhaps I will wait on this rose, as it only available at sources where it is quite expensive and I would hate to pay the price and end up having a rose that performs poorly. Thanks for taking time to answer my question.
