Hello,

I would like to get Francis Dubreuil from Heirloom own root. Heirloom list the plant is about 3 feet tall; however, HelpmeFind lists the plant height is 8 - 9 feet tall. This is a very big difference. If any one has this plant, please tell me how tall this plant can get at mature? Thank you.

You need to look at 'Francis Dubreuil', in commerce as.

It is not a large grower. I grew it years ago, own-root it might go 2-3' tall once established.

It gets a bit larger when budded but no larger than most smaller HT's.

Look at the size listed by Heirloom.

Some believe this is actually the old HT, 'Barcelona'.

Thank you. Heirloom lists the height is about 3-4 ft. I am happy with small size. Thanks.

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.

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…

Ok. Now, I will need to prepare for Monsieur Lincoln a place to climb. :-) and if he blooms. Haha.

I planted my burlesque plants last Fall 2021, just before frost. So this Spring and Summer is really its first debut. The flowers have stripes, which I am not quite thrilled; I was thinking of the deep purple or deep fuchsia on Heirloom picture. (Oh yeah, I got the Burlesque own root from Heirloom). But I do love its fragrant; granted that I have to put my nose to the flower to smell its fragrance. I thought the fragrance it very distinct. I love it a lot.

I bought two plants.

My question is, while it is too young, and one plant is already more than 4 ft tall; this other one was about right (about 1 feet tall) . I am not really sure what it is.... I don't have room for climber. Does anyone experience that burlesque this tall, or must be pegged to the ground? Do I need to prune it? When should I prune it?

BTW I looked at the lineage of the plant it is seedling of Fourth of July (climber) x Diamond Eyes. I wonder if one of the plant has DNA variant of the climber parent Fourth of July. The other does not (which is about right for the description of 4 x 4 ft for height and width). This would be fun!

Thank you.
