'Souvenir du Président Lincoln' rose Reviews & Comments

|
I planted my Souvenir du President Lincoln last Fall (2021), own root, Zone 7b, US. This spring, it grew slowly; but in the summer (now), the plant has new shoots; leaves are healthy, and growing. However, no buds. I would like to ask if it is normal that this type of rose does not have bud in the first year. How long should I wait for buds and blooms? Thank you

I bought two bands of own-root SdPL from Burling in the fall of 2020, and actually had several blooms before the year was out. Next summer, I found that the plant I had in a somewhat shady area (ca. 40% shade) spent a lot of energy just throwing up 6 - 8 ft. blind canes, and had fewer blooms. This spring I moved it to a full sun position, and it is really thriving. No blind canes, much more compact and bushy, and covered in blooms through its first and second flush so far, and a third is just few weeks away. You might re-assess your position, if not in full sun.
I’m right at the 6a/b line.

Where is planted the rose does not have morning sun, but starting around 10:00 am it has its sun to 18:00. It is very sunny. The tallest cane is about 3 feet; lush with leaves. No flowers.
From your picture, it looks like it is a climber. I also bought it from Heirloom; it says the height is 6ft; but I would not think it is climber.

Thanks for becoming a premium member!
Oh, believe me, it WILL climb, given the chance. Here is a bloom picture of the other SdPL, planted near a beech tree, and doing its best to climb to the top…
