'Royal Philharmonic' rose Reviews & Comments
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.

Is there any chance that I can get Royal Philharmonic in USA?

If you will check the garden listings and member comments it seems that some members have this rose in USA. You might contact them to find out where they got it from. We have no Information on US nurseries carrying it currently.

I forgot to add. I have mine planted next to Savoy Hotel. Their plant architecture, bloom size, repeat, and so on are very similar. I actually like this sort of HT, where the plant does not eat the entire yard. Exhibitors hate it, because they want gigantic proportions, but I love it because they are superior garden plants. Great for flower arrangements and look great as plants. The best of both worlds!

I'm fairly certain this rose descended directly or indirectly from Margaret Merrill (like, through Renaissance, for example). I've raised enough seedlings from MM, and RP has all of the tell-tale traits. It is an improved version of MM in many ways, and it seems a lot healthier too. It is a short, but vigorous, HT here, that is not naked and blooms repeatedly all summer long. Its only real negative is that it takes an extra year to build up and get going. The form is consistent in rain or heat, too.
