I believe that anyone who bought this from Heirloom Roses did not receive the correct variety. The picture posted by Deborah's Rose Garden is the "Spiced Coffee" we all obtained and it is no where close to the description. The color is more cream blending into a pink edge and definitely not a lavender shading into coffee.
Whatever it is, I think it is a good rose for my area (Iowa) - always in bloom, nicely shaped blooms, clustered, sets hips. The issue is it just is not what they sold it to be and they should stop selling it as Spiced Coffee. It would be nice to figure out what variety it is but my internet "research" has not come up with anything specific.

How very sad. In all the years I ordered roses from the Clements I never received a mislabeled plant.

I have received several that were not like the original rose that I had years ago. This is just one of them. The other was Fire and Ice. They have the wrong Mother Plants.

Hi. Just became a member and I have a question. I grew some roses many years ago and want to start growing them again. I'm very interested in two bourbons and cannot make up my mind as to which one. First, Mme. Earnest Calvat or Boule de Neige. I'm in northeastern Ohio, zone 5b and I want very fragrant roses. I love both roses forms, but, I've read that BdN is not very fragrant, yet, it is disease resistant, where MEC is not. I've done as much reading as I can find on both roses. Can anyone growing BdN give me any information on it's scent and the strength of it? I would sure appreciate it as BdN is a more practical rose for me, but, if it's not very fragrant I will pass it up.

Boule de Neige ist very fragrant, has strong Bourbon/Centifolia fragrance. Also very disease resistant. It will definitely need winter protection in zone 5b though. If I had to chose between BdN and MEC, I would go with BdN.

Thank you, Frenzy I appreciate the info. I'm in zone 6a and I've read that BDN is winter hardy to zone 5. What is confusing is different nurseries say different things about it. Angel Gardens says it is slightly fragrant and Peter Beale says strong rose scent. When I made the first post I assumed I was still in zone 5 and later found out it's changed to 6. However, I plan on giving all my new roses winter protection for the first year. BND has a smaller rose, but, the shape is just beautiful as are her buds.

I don’t do any winter protection here in Spokane (my yard is very cold; likely more zone 5 than 6). It usually sails through just fine it’s on the east side of the house.

For my white roses I ended up getting Madame Plantier, an Alba, and am ordering Madame Hardy as soon as one comes available. I am also getting Konigin Von Danemark ( Queen of Denmark), also and Alba because of their disease resistance and beautiful blooms and fragrance. I planted Madame Plantier late last summer and I worried about it dying over the winter, but, it's leafing out beautifully and looking very healthy, though, small.
Thank you for your reply, princess.

I got mine from David Austin US, but alas, they are sold out for this season.

Both Heirloom Roses and High Country Roses have Konigin Von Danemark. It's such a beautiful rose I don't care if it only blooms once a year. Both roses are sold out right now, but, will be available soon, so, keep lookiing at these sites or put in a wish for them and they will email you when they are ready.

If the photo in the 1957-58 Kordes catalogue is any indication it looks like the other photos here of 'Dorothy Goodwin' show a reversion to 'Peace'.

Is this rose still being sold in Australia? Does it still grow in any Australian garden?

I don't know but I'd say not. I just came across the old photograph randomly looking for something else and thought it was interesting enough to post.
I note that it wasn't in Kordes' catalogue of 1962 (if I recall correctly) so it seems like it might have been an unstable sport.

Does Barfield Climber flower in year 1? I'm in Tarpon Springs FL (zone 9/10) and she has been growing vigorously, almost 2 feet in the last 3 months since planted. But no flowers, or hint of flowers yet. Is that usual? Thanks!

That experience is typical of many climbing roses. While it is growing is a good time to train however you want it to grow.

Thank you! It's my first climber. I've never seen a rose shoot up like this. There are so many stems. How many is a good amount for a trainable climber? The rose hasn't quite reached the pillar I planted it by yet so it's just waving in the wind right now.

It flowers on old wood, so you may have to wait till next Spring.
There is a modest fall repeat so you may have some blossoms then.,

Thanks for your reply! does this mean it shouldn't be cut back in the spring?

Do your major pruning after flowering, then only to train and shape as desired.
