'Lynnie' rose Reviews & Comments
-

|
I live in zone 8a Pacific Northwest (PNW). Lynnie is one of my favorite roses!
Lynnie is a prolific continuous blooming rose. The clusters of long-lasting ruby pink blooms are an enthralling sight. Even after the petals shed, the clusters of buds/hips look lovely. The scent is moderate (an individual variant). The canes are strong, requiring no extra support, despite the bevy of blooms.
Cloudy days and rain are the hallmark of PNW. Highly disease resistant, rain is no deterrent for this hardy rose. Blackspot is fearful of her! :) She thrives even through periods of peek-a-boo sunshine. Lynnie is a dream come true for gardeners in PNW. I highly recommend Lynnie to novice gardeners (like me) and experts alike.
The most important aspects of Lynnie, a HG of roses, is that it brings me joy and peace!

That is truly lovely, thank you! I am thrilled Lynnie performs so well for you and is continuing to uphold her reputation for ease of growth and excellent heath. I am pleased she provides you joy. Thank you for sharing your feelings about "my baby". It is always nice when others appreciate what you see in a seedling.

Dear Kim,
I appreciate your kind words about my review. I am honored to receive a reply from the breeder/hybridizer of the rose!
I stand firm in my stance that Lynnie is the HG of roses. I wish there were more roses like Lynnie. :)

You're welcome. Thank you! Another, along similar lines, is Carlin's Rhythm. Lynnie is named for my favorite aunt. Carlin's Rhythm is named for my eldest nephew's musical ability and his joy at excelling with his tenor sax. Even in today's triple digit heat, the plant scoffs at the extremes. Of course, after a while, the flowers fry as all the others do, but the plant keeps doing what it is supposed to do. Thanks, again.

I am elated to learn that that Lynnie rose has company! I am eager to plant Carlin's Rhythm in my garden. Ooh...my garden is going to glow! Could you please advice me on where I can find the Carlin's Rhythm rose? Thank you for your kind help in this matter.
I remember only a few odd days of blazing heat in the Pacific Northwest. Generally, our summers are pleasant. Winters are long with inadequate sunshine and rain. Oh and did I mention, more rain?
PS: I have two Lynnie roses in my garden. It is a testimony to my love for the rose. :)
Thank you.

Thank you! I have two plants of Lynnie, too! I'm using her extensively in breeding.
Per Rogue Valley Roses' web site they have it in stock at this time in a band size. Here is the address of Carlin's Rhythm's page there. https://www.roguevalleyroses.com/rose/carlins-rhythm They offer a 10% discount to Help Me Find Premium members, which helps pay for the cost of membership. It's only $25 a year and it permits you to research all of the lineage information on the site. I've found it to be a tremendous tool!
