Per Wikipedia, Peter Lambert married Leonie Lamesch in 1900. He named the rose, Leonie Lamesch, for his future wife.

I got 2 bands of Leonie Lamesh from Burling and re-potted them in gallon pots. They've been growing in my pot ghetto for a couple of weeks which gets the morning sun, short mid-day shade, and then about 4 hrs of high afternoon heat. This week, temps reached above 100s. The Leonies didn't like that and the leaves and flowers fried and I had to move them to a shadier spot. I have about a dozen other varieties growing in the same area. Leonie and Baby Austin are the ones I had to rescue from heat. The others remain vigorous although flowers fried on most of them, except Lyda. Now I have better idea where to plant them permanently.

They don't like the small pots. I put my band sized rose (Leonie Lamesch) in a 7 gal pot last year and the rose almost outgrew the pot in one season. It overwintered in the 7 gal pot and was planted this May. It's already 3' tall. Yes, the blooms fried in triple digit temps, but the leaves never wilted or burned once in either the pot or the ground.

Thank you so much for the tip, Lyn! Who knew! I plan to put them in the ground soon as soon as temps go down that's why I just used gallon pots. So I can plant Leonie Lamesch in all day sun? I originally planned to plant them in a spot that gets sun from morning thru 4 pm.
Thanks again!

Cynthia...........
Yes, you can plant both 'Leonie Lamech' and 'Baby Austin' in full sun. We have triple digit temps for weeks on end in my climate. As long as the plants are watered and have good drainage, they truly do not need to be protected. Again, the blooms will fry .... all roses have that problem in unrelenting heat and some go dormant .... but the leaves won't be fried and the plant will grow just fine. Also, we get winter temps down to the low teens for a few hours at night with the average winter night temps around 20 degrees F. Both roses had no problems with the low temps with no winter protection.
Gallon pots never work in triple digit temps, in my experience. You just can't give the plant enough moisture to help them survive the heat stress. I'd rather use a pot that is too big than take a chance on a pot that is too small.
Good luck with your roses.
Smiles,
Lyn

I can't kill this rose! I have it in a whiskey barrel that stopped draining right around the time it started to rain for 40 days and 40 nights; it took about 2 months before I could handle it and Leonie just shrugged it all off. The deer have taken all the leaves off on more than 1 occasion and it just grows more and will even flower while doing it.
