'Judy Garland' rose Reviews & Comments

It’s simply shocking to find out that Judy Garland is barely offered in commerce. It has so many strong attributes and accolades. The fragrance should be listed as “strong”. It’s fresh like a freesia, and unlike any other Rose I have. I would call it Cashmere Bouquet soap fragrance. (Not fruity, not myrrh, not rose). foliage is extremely healthy, the flowers last for many days on the plant, the buds open lemon yellow, and as they twist open, they become sun kissed as Double Delight does, except this one has a multitude of color hues from gold, cantaloupe, tangerine, and an intense tomato red at the base petals.
Does exceptionally well with simply feeding good quality compost, food (tea) and regular weeding.

Don't be shocked by its lack of distribution. Once the patent goes off, there is little push to keep a variety in commerce. There has to be room to introduce more patented varieties or there is lost profit and rare is the business which doesn't adhere to the current "the only reason for business is to profit the share holders" mantra. Having grow Judy Garland for years in Southern California, I found it to be a prickly monster whose flowers smelled good and quickly sunburned into a nasty color. I had it when it was a new introduction and hoped to love it. I didn't, so it went to a new home after several years in the garden. But, "location, location, location" is the key and that wasn't it.

I bought a grafted Judy and am going to try rooting my own. I love, love the scent on her and she is lovely! I think she will do really well here with no burning/scorching. But she has struggled and I think it is an issue with DR. Huey. Own roots do well for me.

When it says "blush color can burn" does that mean the whole flower turns red or that the actual petals get dry and crinkly??

This photo by another member shows what they mean: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.156549
Which is that the color changed area can sunburn in extreme heat. It is not really a big deal, though.

I cannot find a height reference for this rose besides "medium-tall". Does anyone have an estimate?

I just looked 'Judy Garland' up in The American Rose Society Encyclopedia of Roses by Charles & Brigid Quest-Riston and they report a height of 4.9' and width of 3.3'.
I have updated the rose page for 'Judy Garland' with this information, too.
Smiles,
