'Lunar Mist ™' rose Reviews & Comments

My HMF:

☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Yellow Romantica is a color-sport of Colette. I wonder if the climate-zone has been tested. The difference between zone 2 (Yellow Romantica) and zone 7 (Colette) listed on HMF is a great difference.	REPLY

I have the same question. It would be interesting to know who entered that information, and if it is a typo.	REPLY

2b is definitely a typo. The garden listing shows 5a/5b as minimum. It is illogical that the sport should be so much hardier than 'Colette'	REPLY

Peter Schneider did recommend 'Colette' for cold climate gardens, so maybe the sport is not an anomaly.	REPLY

I have 6 of these growing along a fence in Massachusetts and we've had a couple of hard winters since I planted them so I think they are hardy to Zone 5 - not sure 5a or 5b. Mine did beautifully until this recent hard winter when most were de-barked by rabbits. I'm going to do a lot of pruning but may have to replace one or two that were pretty devastated. Live and learn for me - this would have been our 4th summer with them and I was really looking forward to them especially after a great season last year, but I think it will be a while until we get another show like last year now. We've always had the bunnies and there was no problem in past years, but now I know better.

As far as color, technically they are a pale yellow but in our garden they are so pale I really think of them as white/cream. They may vary slightly based on soil and climate? We did have a small branch of very pretty pale pink (and I don't usually like pink much), a sport, I guess, but that may also have been lost to the killer bunnies.

Sep 2009 -- LUNAR MIST was blooming in a shaded area at PASTORINI's in NorCAL on the Coast off Highway . All their roses are now ! ! The color of this climber was much prettier than the photos shown here; the yellow is light, but buttery. However, this climber did NOT appear to be too strong, with thin, straggily canes	REPLY
