One way to tell whether your rose will set hips is to wait and see what happens as the blooms fade and die off. If you don't clip the faded blooms and just wait for them to do their "thing" fruit may start to form, then you know your rose sets hips!

Possibly. Gallicas are pretty hardy plants and need cold winters. 'Cardinal de Richlieu' is sometimes classed as a Hybrid China. But the truth is, no one is quite sure of its bloodlines. I would think that Zone 10 would be on the hot side for this plant and so it probably won't do well there because of that.

I think it does bloom, but not too well. If you are in Southern California, visit the Huntington rose garden & library in Pasadena. They have an established plant of it there, as well as some other Gallicas. As a rule, most Gallicas need some chill to bloom well, but there's always the exception -- especially since CdR has possible China in its ancestry. I remember seeing CdR flowering there but having only one or two blossoms; which I attributed to being late in the season. They planted it to receive light shade in the afternoon, since desert sun burns/scorches dark colored roses to a crisp. Hope this helps. --- ML

I am in So Cal, I believe I'm zone 9, sunset z19 and I used to grow CdR. It gets very hot where I live (like in the 100's for days on end). Yet, CdR did flower for me when the gardeners didn't prune in winter, which drove me nuts. They would always cut it just as buds were forming. Luckily it began to sucker after a few years and a few canes were able to hide from the pruners behind the thick drapes of giant white Lady Banks close by and so I would be surprised by the startlingly purple pompom between the ferny leaves of Lady Banks. I loved, loved this rose! What a treat. I am trying to grow it again and this time, no more gardeners! Note that where it used to grow faced west and got brutal afternoon sun but was always moist due a leaking sprinkler pipe underground.

Yes she does, but this nursery is closing the end of September. She had about 5 plants left as of today. I bought another one. It is disease resistant and a very quick rebloomer. I just love it! It fools folks as it looks like a zinnia.

The Uncommon Rose has bought the stock of Pixie Treasures Miniature Roses. Marriotta is now offered for sale by The Uncommon Rose, although there is a waiting list for this too seldom offered rose.

Uncommon Rose "closed their retail doors" on June 11, 2007, according to the Garden Web's Antique Roses Forum: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/rosesant/msg061911518428.html
At the Uncommon Rose website there is this notice: "Roses formerly available from us are now available from Rogue Valley Roses."
However, as of today, September 5, 2008, Marriotta is NOT listed on Rogue Valley Roses' online catalog.

You'd have to ask them that. Looking at the info for 'Nearly Black' at HelpMeFind.com/Roses it would appear that it might be a possibility.

I made a phone call to Michigan bulb Co and asked them what "nearly black" really was and I got this reply. So there is no such thing as 'Nearly Black' rose.
