I'd bet 2 pizzas this is a shorter sister to Birthday Girl.
Edit: I lost one pizza. Its a confirmed half sister.

Regarding "Buy From," Northland Rosarium carries this rose as Matilda.
My band Matilda is blooming, and what a nice rose. Disease free, vigorous, and the petals have good substance and last a long time, even in the sun.

When I first saw this rose in Longwood Gardens, Pa last year, it was white with brushed, grainy red edging around the edges of the petals, as if they had been painted on in watercolor on dry paper--the color was darkish without 'bleeding' into the petal color. I used HELP ME FIND to locate a nursery that carried it, and I bought a bush. It has now produced several blooms. The first looked like the flower I saw at Long Wood, but the rest...... Instead of watercolor on dry paper, it looks as if it were applied to wet paper, and the red has spread into the white, producing a pink tinge. It's still lovely, but not what I expected. Why did this happen? How can I help it to produce 'dry' markings rather than wet?

The color change is probably caused by weather conditions. I have this rose, and I love it, because it is in bloom almost year round. I would not describe the color as you have, mine is white which turns to pale pink towards the edges of the blooms. In the heat it turns almost pure white. I have never seen red on mine, but it never gets cold where I live (southern California). Give it a year to get established and I bet you will get hooked on it.

My Charles is a white with pale pink edges. I have had one in a vase for two weeks now. It has been fully opened for a week and still fails to wilt. I just love mine. I live in Tarpon Springs, Fl. and even though it supposed to do well in cool nights, the heat and humidity here has not bothered it at all. No BS or any pest problem. Wish they were all so easy. (and lovely)

On our premises it pushes in the full south in the light shade of an albizziax julibrissin. It easily changes color according to the temperature. The shade is necessary to admire the nuances and the sun is to make push a rose tree which is rather fragile. We live in the French Alps. |
