Rose du Roi of commerce; growth habit, suckering, pictures?
Comments (3)Kmama, suckering roses, such as gallicas or the wild Rosa californica, expand and send up new flowering canes via underground rhizomes, eventually forming a thicket or patch. My Rose du Roi of commerce has been in the ground just 3 years and has yet to do much of that (so, perhaps not as vigorous that way as some. For many years I have had an unnamed mossy pink gallica-type that, really, is a weed, though with a very full and beautiful, well-perfumed flower. Every spring I need to circumscribe its perimeter with a shovel to keep the patch around 5' diameter, and more than a year after digging up one population of it, I am still digging it up! I always take care to never plant that one anywhere near the "civilized" part of the garden.) Thus far, the canes of my Rose du Roi have not exceeded about 2.5', so I can't imagine pegging it, but, anyway, each cane puts out several branches without pegging. The leaves are very healthy (saying something, this year) and cover the plant well. Current flowers are about 4" in diameter. This is one of my favorite rose flowers of all: beautiful deep red-going-to-purple, heavy scent, huge number of petals arranged in intricate swirls, flower flat and quartered. Just love it -- it is more beautiful in person than most of the photos on HMF would indicate (tough rose to photograph)....See Moreupdate for mike and all...

Comments (16)This is so sad. There are so many freak accidents happening nowadays. Sue, I was wondering the same thing. There are cables that feed from the front panel down to the bottom of the treadmill, but they're usually encased in the frame. And the emergency cable is usually not long enough to get wrapped on the machine in two places to anchor it. I feel awful for the brother that found her. You can never be too careful when it comes to children in the house....See MoreRose du Roi doesn't match vendor description
Comments (5)What Sheila said and, though my Rose du Roi (of commerce) came from Vintage, there is some difference between immature and summer blooms and those of the first flush in spring on a mature rose. I don't have many summer photos of this rose, for the very reason that the summer blooms are generally not the spectacular form and color they are in the spring and fall. Were your two blooms produced just recently, Jo, during summer? Here is a July, 2011 flower on a youngish, own-root plant (and I've seen it with even fewer petals than this and more open, showing stamens, in the summer): Here is a first-flush bloom on the more mature plant (April, 2013): And another, three years later (April, this year) on the same plant:...See MoreRusty
