I purchased my Maid of Honor as a bare root climber. The flower color is yellow/orange centered blending to coral on the petal tips. The colors are similar to photos I have seen of its parent, Folklore. The Maid of Honor flower eventually fades to a single, slightly lighter shade of coral. My climber is headed toward a healthy 6' in the first year while continually flowering on individual stems. It is the most pleasant surprise of the roses I planted this year.
There is a separate category on HMF for the climbing version of Maid of Honor, and it is listed as an orange blend. Perhaps you could move your photos to that category? Since there aren't any photos of that rose yet, I'm sure they would be appreciated there.
Hi Jedmar, many years ago, I managed a specialty rose nursery here in the Los Angeles area called Limberlost Roses. Bob Edberg, who started the nursery and sold it to a landscape company (for whom I managed it), bought MANY of the roses from Hortico in Canada. Bride's Dream was one of them. In fifteen gallon cans, Bride's Dream was 7' - 8' tall with wrist thick canes toward the bottoms of the monster plants. Ironically, I know someone who also purchased roses from Hortico, and for whom, the root stock suckers from those plants, turned out to be Bride's Dream. Very odd seeing MORE vigorous root stock shoots with Bride's Dream flowers!
It seems California is very friendly to rose growth! We imported some bare roots into Europe from Cal and they were such clubs, too! I will change the upper limit for Bride's Dream to 8'.
