Rose from Rogue Valley Rose.com

I ordered the rose on Wednesday. They only ship rose on Monday weekly so I requested Monday, May 11, 2010 for my roses to be shipped by UPS Priority Mail. I just got them this morning.

Crested Damask™

This is a compact, relaxed shrub growing about 4 feet wide and 3 feet tall, with dark green foliage. The blooms are borne in clusters of 3 to 5 in great profusion for about 5 weeks in early Summer. Each bloom is pure OGR: 3.5 inch shallow cups of over 100 petals each, in a rich raspberry-pink hue with a button eye at the center.

Gloire de Guilan

The fragrance does seem to increase as the petals dry, so I would think it excellent in potpourri as well. I love the slight irregularity of the petals which add a certain windblown quality. It blooms long and profusely on a healthy, modest size plant.

Ispahan I hope that since it is a damask type of rose that it will have strong fragrant unlike the rating; otherwise, I will be truly very disappointed.

Botzaris

For many, 'Botzaris' may be preferable to 'Mme. Hardy' as the shrub is smaller and more compact, growing to no more than 5 feet tall under most circumstances. The blooms of 'Botzaris' are snow white, with just a hint of red on the guard petals, most visible in the bud. The fragrance, as could be expected, is wonderfully rich; typical Damask. Individual blooms are about 3 inches in diameter, cupped and packed full of petals that withstand wet weather admirably."

Clytemnestra

This is a lax and spreading Hybrid Musk that is easily grown as a climber. The blooms are in clusters similar to Cornelia, but more yellow and apricot in tone than that rose. The petals pale and quill as they age.

Name: Clytemnestra Class: Hybrid Musk Height: 10-15 feet Growth: Shrub, may be grown as a climber Color: Apricot and Apricot Blend Bloom size: 2.5"	Zone: Zone 7 Bloom type: Loosely Double Rebloom: rrr Fragrance: fff Hybridizer: Pemberton Year introduced: 1925

I wanted to dry lot of fragrant rose buds and rose petals as well as rose hip. I hope to make tea, rose petal jam, rose hip jam, and rose bud, hip, and petal as color for my bath bomb.

I got Zephirine Drouhin rose as part of free rose on the "Split Stem" Rose List

You may choose a free rose from this list for every 4 roses you purchase at the regular price! (The number available is listed after the name of the rose - many are in short supply!) Please use the popup box at the end of the online purchase process or email us with your choices from the list below and include three alternates for each free split stem rose your choose - many of these roses are one of a kind! (ex. if you choose 2 free split stem roses, you need to include 6 alternate selections).

I have a problem with Zephirine Drouhin rose which as you see the picture on the right. It has a very darken rotten looking stem as the main body; therefore, I am not sure whether or not it will survive any longer than my other own root rose from Jackson and Perkins rose. I guess that I have to take some more picture and send to the company and complain about it before they will not take my word for it. I will let you know how all of my roses doing and what exactly the fragrant is like. I have to re-pot them today. I wanted to walk with my girls later if that is possible. They are getting used to have a regular walk recently.

Mme. Hardy
