'Papageno ®' rose Reviews & Comments

My plant had extensive powdery mildew, which is rare in my garden in this dry climate. My (own-root) plant will be in its fourth year this next summer, and last year was the first I saw it bloom. While the few roses I saw were really nice, last year for the first time this plant gave me canes that were long and spindly, bending almost to the ground very much like a sucker or climber.

Like most other striped roses, Papageno has varying amounts/patterns of white and red, which adds to the interest for me.

Papageno is the worst rose in my 150 plus rose garden for mildew. Must be sprayed, which I do, but apparently not as often as this rose requires, which is very often.

In north west Tasmania, Australia, it does nicely in a spray-free garden. Gets some blackspot. Haven't seen mildew on it. It's fertile and sets OP hips easily. I have OP seeds in the fridge now and they have just started germinating. Hoping it passes on stripes like its Ferdinand Pichard ancestor.

EDIT: Seed update: 'Papageno' seeds germinated as fast as my multiflora seeds at a rate of about 90%. Promising seed parent.

EDIT 2: Has thrown striped seedlings. Lots of variation in OP seedlings.
