Baronne Edmond de Rothschild

Just purchased a bare rooted Baronne Edmond de Rothschild from Bunnings for under $10. It was on a whim as I am sure most of you can relate to haha so now I am hoping it is not a dud! Thoughts?

you will not look back , does really well for me here in Deni, always has blooms on it

Excellent thanks I don't have a lot of pink roses so I thought it was time haha

Its very reddy pink, the colour is quite strong.

Can't wait for it to flower :-)

The Baronne is 180 degrees away from dud-dom I got two on recommendation from this board last season. I expected nice, I didn't expect wow. This beauty is woweee. Flowers profusely, and the dusty mid pink is just ethereally lovely. Great cutting rose, goes with almost everything, lovely scent. Easy to grow, puts up with all sorts of neglect.

I'm thinking it was a great choice then Betsy :-)

Rosy, $10, what a bargain! The Baronne is one that I've ordered based on recommendations here so I can't wait to see it blooming. I don't think I've heard a bad thing about it. Sometimes things are meant to be I reckon, so impulse buys may just be destiny. I think that Baronne picked you! Lol

Lol! I think you might be right Silky!

My Baron is in a garden bed on the front boundary , it gets pelted by wind , sun , rain and cold and still performs , love it !!! , thing is mum has had it for longer than i can remember , and i've only recently put it in , don't know why lol !!

Mines in a pot right now Maree maybe I should put it in the garden!

Rosy, i would confidentally say , this is one rose i would take out of the pot and plant in the garden , in my area , can't speak for Brisbane though lol !!

well done good choice on this rose , as for bunnings roses no comment

I have heard some are bad I only have 1 from them and it's one of the biggest plants I own! Fingers crossed this one is ok too haha

I must have been lucky so far, I have a few from Bunnings over the last 5 years and all are doin' bloomin' well!

I personally believe all places just get some bad batches. My Bunnings rose is massive

We have the B shop here as well as the the Wbig shop, all plants come the one supplier in SA, quality does vary, if anything the Wbig shop might be a bit better.

I know Wagners and Ross Roses from South Australia Roseman , is there another one ?

Maree, it is a name of a girl and/or her father. They are strictly wholesale growers for the chainstore market. I am trying to find it, it sounds like Roslyn(not correct spelling) If anyone sees body bags in chainstore type environ, it is written on them.

Lol , body bags ,good description Roseman , thats why i avoid chain stores like the plague .... but saying that mum has had some good roses from Bunnings ....

Roseman the the company is called the Rose Company from SA and as you say they supply chainstores.I have a few roses from them and other people also and they have been fantastic guys.At the end of the day no matter were you buy your roses from chainstores,Rose growers nurserys etc they all have duds in batches.It's the case if you pick your roses to pick healthy and strong one's simple.

I actually bought a Baronne Edmond de Rothschild from the Big store for $7.60 bred from the Rose Company yesterday and healthy as any.

Thanks Danny, can you read the name on the bag ? I have just gone by the name you sent and found them, here is the link to them,

That's them Roseman spot on.I have ordered a few from Thomas Roses to Roseman from the catalogue you emailed me .They have such a big variety and some great oldies to.

As for Baronne Edmond de Rothchild guys how would you describe it's fragrance.

Danny, we had one in this garden years ago and found it strong in the perfume department.
As for Thomas', I have only bought a couple of plants from them, but were very good plants.

Danny Baronne is a great rose with beautiful blooms and it repeats very well , the perfume is great too
