I have liked this rose more than I thought I might. At least in spring weather, the blooms are fairly long-lasting in form and color, though they do really fade in color when they do fade. No doubt I'll have more to say when the warmer weather arrives and I've seen how it does in winter.

I'm in U.S. Zone 5. Can anyone tell me how hardy Chihuly is? Thanks!

I read in the Jung Seed catalog that Chihuly is for Zones 5 - 9. I was thinking of ordering it.

My two Chihuly bushes have done very well in my midwest zone 5/6 garden over the winter until this spring when a late freeze caught everything just as they were all breaking dormancy. All my roses were affected and my two Chihuly bushes seem to have been decidedly hit harder than most. I am not sure yet that both are still alive. I am just waiting to see how they respond if they do at all.
I really like this rose and so do my neighbors and will replace it with like bushes should these not survive. Like I said, they have been fine in previous winters and were this one until this freak 5 day long temps in the single digit temps to around 20 degrees after they had already broken dormancy.
UPDATE 1/2010 I am very pleased with my Chihuly bushes. They have responded well to winter even with no protection provided by me. THey continue to be very vigorous growing and blooming and disease resistance for me has been excellent. I am currently stratifying some seeds from it crossed with Day Breaker and hope to have some nice seedlings to share from the cross. I have two Chihuly bushes and am planning on ordering a few more this next year for hybridizing purposes. I planning on crossing it with Day Breaker, Vavoom, Gingersnap, Hot Cocoa, Moondance, and Honey Perfume. I may try a cross with the r/w striped Scentimental to see if the striping gene comes through. I think this could be a very nice cross with just a little luck.

Sir, How can you tell the difference between: RUMBA ~ CHIHULY ~ RIO SAMBA ? ? ? I've been trying to identifyl a rose bush 6ft tall, bushy, vibrant, and tolerates the shade & fog on the Calif. coast. We think it might be RioSamba, as the owner removed the tag!! . . . but it does resemble Chihuly, somewhat ? ? ?

Well, let's see here. I grow now two of the ones you mention Rumba and Chihuly, and have grown Rio Samba in the past. Rumba is easy to distinguish -- it's a polyantha, with typical polyantha size flowers -- never more than 2" in diameter. Chihuly is a newer floribunda, and I've never seen a flower on it less than about 3" in diameter. It is also striped on the outer petals most of the time. Rio Samba is in between these two sizes, but always bigger than Rumba, and never showing a stripe. Rio Samba is also brighter in color than Chihuly, but the easiest and fastest way to tell them apart is the stripe feature on Chihuly. Rio Samba is also a much older variety, so if you know when your plant was planted and if it was before Chihuly was intro'd in 2004, then that's not what you have.

Hope this helps,
Kathy

They have vastly different foliage. Take a pic of the leaves for us.

This rose is known in New Zealand as 'Anna Leese' (after a prominent young NZ opera singer), and is marketed by several leading nurseries under that name, so could 'Anna Leese' please be added to the description as a synonym?

We need a reference please Tomartyr. I have just had a quick flick through the past five years of the "New Zealand Rose Annual' but couldn't pick up anything.

I tried to reply giving links to two relevant website pages, but it didn't seem to work. If you Google nz pvr you will be able to find the relevant page in the Plant Variety Rights Register. Weeks Roses were granted a PVR (no. 2907) for Wekscemala on 2/6/2010, for a term of 23 years using the trade name 'Anna Leese'. The New Zealand agent is Matthews Nurseries Ltd, who advertise the rose on their website rosesnz.co.nz

Here in zone 6, I have been very disappointed with this rose. The blooms may be lovely but only the first day, as they seem to fade almost before your eyes. Also very slow to repeat. I recommend it to no one (at least in zone 6).
