Shelley: Loved your pictures of both Lambert Closse and Emily Carr, two roses we sell at our nursery, Northland Rosarium in SPokane, Wa. zone 4-5. Wondering if we might use your photos of these roses for our website and catalog?
Thanks in advance and please email me at phathaw@hotmail.com or carol@northlandrosarium.com if any questions or concerns. Do keep up the great photography!

Looking to start 5 petal specie roses only. Wife and I have over 50 roses now, but I want to start specie rose garden. What is available and where can I purchase? Live in Richmond, Va., zone 4 (?).

My favourite species roses are:-
Rosa macrantha...large pale pink flowers, pink buds, makes a big bending over type bush.
Rosa polyantha grandiflora (somestimes called gentilliana) very tall canes with many single creamy white flowers, also many orange hips in the fall. Good fragrance.
Rosa helenae...many single white flowers in bunches followed by bunches or red hips.

Hi: saw your posting that you grow Rosa Helenae and I'm wondering how long you've had it and if it took a while before bloom? I planted an own root Helenae (that was what it was sold to me as) and this will be it's 3rd season since planting and I have yet to see even 1 bloom let alone the hips! It has gotten huge, throwing up 8-10ft canes, but that's all. SInce it's taking up so much room, I'm about to shovel prune it and go for something else, perhaps Mulliganii or Rambling Rector instead?

Rosa helenae is one of the most attractive of the species roses because it has very pretty flowers and hips that hang down in bunches, but it should have flowered for you before this time. Give it one more year before you toss it out. Of the two you have mentioned, Rambling Rector is the better of the two and in my opinion the more attractive and good fragrance.

Thank you for your sage advice! I will do as you suggest since Rambling Rector is young and still move-able. I was really hoping the Helenae would look like the one in Peter Beales video on Roses, where he says, "and behind me is Rosa helenae which has beautiful of hips after blooming...". Don't I wish!

Here is an opportunity for you to use the advanced search feature on the HelpMeFind site. You can bring up a list of all of the species roses we have in our database along with their various names. The list will include live links to the rose page. When you look at the coding next to the rose name, if you see a "p" that means their is a picture of the rose and if you see an "n" you can see which sponsoring nurseries carry the rose.
To do an advanced search all you need to do is:
1. Click on "Roses" on the navigation bar to the left
2. Click on "Advanced Search" above the search field
3. Click on "Class"
4. Click the box for "Species"
5. Click on "Continue" on the bottom of the page
6. Click "Search"
Good luck finding roses for your garden.
Smiles,
Lyn
