Charles De ?..something.. a purple rose


I don't know whether nice people tend to grow roses or growing roses makes people nice. - Quotes Roland A. Browne

Charles de Gaulle is purple.

Just Joey is a lovely rose.

"Charles de Gaulle" is one of my favourite Mauves/purples. I have 14 (2 rose of 7). Mine are so far, a very tidy bush with plenty of foliage and blooms. Although the blooms are nodding their heads a bit too much for my liking, but that plants are only in their first year....

Oh gorgeous!! New Farm park has them and at time I was ordering there were non for sale...so it's on the list

There's also Charles de Mills in the purples, but I don't think you meant that one. A website that will give you a lot of fun looking things up is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Shame on you Margaret !! feeding an addiction like that

Heeheehee.

I budded Charles de Gaulle last April just prior to my 15 year old plant dying.

Margret soooo naughty
now I'll just look into that purple one also.

MsMW... I am going to uproot my plant of 'Just Joey' over winter. You have first dibs on it if you'd like it.

Oh you have made my year this far Simon!
Yeahhhhhhh

double delight just died from mother nature only knows
And after soo much rain I lost my 'La Amore'
So I have pots ready

I've been offline for awhile dealing with personal stuff
And was only talking to my aunt today about this rose forum divine timing!

I'll wait until the dead of winter here and then grab your postal address to send it on up. It will be very asleep and so hopefully won't be shocked so much by going to sunny qld

grey n overcast here - how long u had her for?What u replacing her with?

I've had her two years and I think she resents Tassie winters (too many nights to -5 to -7 and my chooks tend to give her too much attention too)... I've got a few China cuttings in that will be looking for a more permanent home so I thought I'd give her a chance at thawing out some and passing her onto someone else. She's a lovely rose but just not happy here. She needs some tlc and I'm guessing you are just the person to give it to her

The chinas are Comtesse du Cayla, Slater's Crimson and Ten Thousand Lights... can't wait to get these in the ground actually

Just so people know... I've sent Maria 'Just Joey'. She is still seeking the others
