'Bengale Cramoisi Supérieur' rose Reviews & Comments

-
|
Hello, I planted a small Cramoisi Superieur in my garden and it seems to be happy and growing. My question is about pruning? Info on this site says ' can be pruned to maintain a shorter habit ' then goes on to say
'Prune lightly or not at all'. I'm just wondering what to do about my plant since I'm pretty sure I can't let it go without pruning. it will need to be regularly pruned to keep it in bounds. Thank you

I personally prune mine back in the late winter to 3-4 feet, usually removing maybe 50% with no apparent ill-effects.

Thank you, Lee H. That is very helpful information. I will do the same with my plant.

My Cramoisi Superior reached 8 foot tall and 10 foot wide. It gets very huge in the Houston, TX area. It smells divine and makes pretty cut flowers and looks good in arrangements with other antique roses. It blooms profusely almost all year long. No disease and no insect problems. Why hasn’t it been given the Earthkind designation yet? The only problem with this rose is that it gets too big!

This rose was sold to us as "Mableton Agrippina" by Vintage Gardens about ten years ago. It has remained about three feet high and wide in the Sacramento Historic Rose Garden. Please add this name as one of the synonyms for this plant.

Anita, why do you think it is necessary to add yet another study name when the rose has been identified. Vintage were listing the rose as “Mableton Crimson China” back in 2001 and 2006 - see references.
