i would be guessing yes rosy

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 11:25

Yes it looks like it from what I can see. Why do you ask?

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 11:27

just curious thats all . to be honest thats the only rose that i have growing on its own roots so i was just curious to see if urs was grafted

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 11:31

From what I can remember when I got it, I didn't see any signs of grafting no. It was honestly such a tiny little plant and very brown I was worried it was already dead. Pleasantly surprised with that one Smile

yeah mine was tiny too rosy , but they are slow growers at first i believe

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 11:33

Mine grew really quickly, but that could be the heat here? Loves the heat.

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 11:34

thats good rosy , mine has growing a bit .. but still fairly small

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 11:36

How long have you had it?

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 11:47

its about 7 monts old rosy

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 11:48

Oh wow. How big has it grown? Mine is only 2 months old. Not sure how big it's supposed to get. But I would say it's close to a metre high in the pot, very bushy.

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 11:51

mine is only about 2.5 feet tall .. .. but it was so tiny

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 11:53

Mine would be pretty close to that I would say because the pot is 30cm high. Perhaps it doesn't get much bigger? Do you have any photos so I can compare?

HMF says 'Height of up to 4' 7" (up to 140 cm). Width of up to 32" (up to 80 cm)'

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 11:54

no rosy it should get bigger . altho i did prune it just a bit had some dead wood on it . i think we will give it another year and it should shoot up in size

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 12:00

Mine has grown almost a metre in 2 months from a bare rooted twig, so I'll wait and see how much bigger it gets. Might take a couple years for it to reach its full size.

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 14:29

yeah rosy i think urs will gorw lot faster then mine .as mine is in a pot

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 14:42

Mines in a pot too. It's about 30cm x 35cm

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 14:44

Oh okay sorry rosy my mistake . mine is also in a 30 cm .. i will move it to a bigger pot next winter

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 14:54

I think I will have to as well. It's already too big. I didn't expect it to grow so quickly!! It loves full sun, but at the moment it's in part shade so the flowers don't lose their colours too quickly.

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 14:59

thats good rosy . ive only just moved mine in full sun . last week .. it was in part shade .. once the new blooms open i'm moving it into part shade as the flowers dont last long in full sun ..

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 18:33

Yeah that's why I moved mine too. The colours last much longer now Smile

by jordan71 4th October 2012, 19:14

its a beautifull rose when its fully open , one of my favourites
might see if i can get another at some stage

by RosyTeesh 4th October 2012, 20:52

I completely agree Smile

I have to say at the moment it could even be my favourite. I have never smelt a rose like it. Do you know of any that have similar scents?

by jordan71 5th October 2012, 06:53

yes rosy , parfum de l'hay even has a stronger scent

by RosyTeesh 5th October 2012, 08:21

Ooh thanks

by jordan71 5th October 2012, 08:22
