'Planten un Blomen ®' rose Reviews & Comments

A person in my local rose group claims that this rose is a *monster*, growing over 8’ tall and wide. Can anyone either verify or say otherwise? I bought this to plant near my miniatures but am re-thinking. Most sellers say that it stays small, though. Thoughts? I’m in zone 7a, NJ.

I planted 3 of these close together last April (2021 - Chicago area). Generally in my garden the bushes were about 2.5 foot tall - excellent soil, drainage and sunlight. Late in the year one bush threw a big basal break which perhaps grew to 3 feet with many, many blooms. This rose is not a monster grower - at least not in zone 5b. In NJ, which is milder than Chicago, you might see 4 feet tall but I would say 3 feet is your best bet. Try it - I bet you'll like it.

Yesterday this rose got 'de gouden roos van Den Haag' ( The golden rose of The Hague) in the 2011 the Hague rose trials, the Netherlands.
The correct name is Planten und Blomen.

Hans, 'Planten un Blomen' without the d of "und" is correct, this is dialect from Hamburg. This is the name of a very famous park there.

Yes, I know. But Kordes used the name with a d. I asked them...

That is very strange: The trademark they registered is 'Planten un Blomen':

The same is on their website:

I am afraid the person who answered you was not competent.

Well... it was the big boss himself. But I am sure we must misunderstood him.
Whatever. Is it a good idea to put the name planten und blomen as a synonym?
That way most peope who look in the wrong way, still find the plant.
