In the Dictionary of Roses in color by S. Millar Gault & Patrick M. Synge published 1971. The rose Glorie de Dijon is described as "buff-orange in centre fading to pale creamy yellow on outer petals....sometimes tinted with apricote -pink ". The picture of the rose is distinctly orange -yellow. What has happened to this rose in the years since, it is now described in the literature as pink. are we dealing with the same rose ?

the colour of gloire de dijon cannot be described! it's just the most wonderful shade you may whish for a rose and what a rose!

I can relate to this comment, indeed mine GdJ has rather subtle color, I would call it apricot, but it has a depth to it. Also regarding fragrance I would not call it strong, in a sense that it does not hang in the air like perfume cloud, but if you smell the rose itself, you most likely will remember that smell as being quite exquisite and powerful.

I know different times of the year and different growing regions can result in a variation in colors. Like my Ms. Dudley Cross which is usually butter yellow and fades to a soft pink in the color months, during the summer just blooms solid pink because of the heat. I just got my first Gloire de Dijon a few weeks ago and it arrived from further North with several pale yellow to apricot blooms on it. I guarantee you the blooms that develop here will be darker if they develop at all during the summer. |

I have a seedling that just wants to bloom and not grow. I keep snapping off the buds to try to force the energy of the plant into growth....but it just keeps making buds. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a beautiful rose, but she hates rain. So it is required to give her protection (roof).

It seems to me that properly this cross of Desprez with S dl Malmaison ought to be classed as a Bourbon-Noisette. Just my $.02

Gloire de Dijon is classed as a Tea Noisette because it is the forbear of the entire so-called class of Tea Noisettes, a class with no official standing that constitutes a horticultural grouping at this time. While Souv. de la Malmaison is thought to be a Bourbon-Tea, the Bourbon influence has already been diluted once.
To my noise, Gloire de Dijon bears only Tea scent and nothing of the Bourbon side apart from some indistinct foliage characteristics. To add to the confusion, the identity of the rose parading as Gloire de Dijon may be somewhat suspect. In the USA, it is rarely entirely buff orange and more pink, cream and pale apricot. Maybe we aren't talking about the same rose.
