I am also very surprised that your 'Madame Alfred Carriere' is still blooming considering those temperatures.I always thought that this rose needs it much warmer to flower. With roses you just never know for sure, which means you just need to keep trying things out.<br />I also checked my 'Madame Alfred Carriere' today, but she didn't have any blooms, not one. She has started to throw out some very long canes, though. I would love to see your garden in person, but it has become so rare that I go back to Germany. For now I have to be content to visit your garden on you blog :-)!<br />Christina<br />organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-59187120748594311332013-11-11T09:47:34.552-08:002013-11-11T09:47:34.552-08:00Christina, this morning we had +1°C and Madame Alf...Christina, this morning we had +1°C and Madame Alfred Carrière still had 8 blooms, full of scent. One is now in front of me! I am so surprised how well this rose is doing in my climate. I didn't know that gallicas need our winter - I love them too. Your next trip to Germany has to be in June/July - my garden is only 1 hour from Frankfurt airport.....<br />RudolfRudolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487381012810539996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-85146220555890850122013-11-11T08:37:10.686-08:002013-11-11T08:37:10.686-08:00Rudolf, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a ...Rudolf, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment! Yes, I am lucky that I can grow Tea roses and other more cold sensitive roses here, but on the other hand I can't grow some of the Old Garden Roses like the gallicas that I love so much, because they need more winter chill. You can't get it all, but that is fine with me. I am living in a wonderful climate to grow roses and I am thankful for that. I saw on your blog that you are growing 'Madame Alfred Carriere' as well. I just recently planted this rose in the ground and can't wait to see how it does next year. I just love the blooms. Have fun with your new roses! I am looking forward to reading your next blog posts!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-6277777809005295942013-11-11T07:55:12.547-08:002013-11-11T07:55:12.547-08:00Hallo Christina,

Bei den Insektiziden gehe ich mit Dir einig, das erledigt die Natur! In diesem sehr feuchten und lange kalten Jahr halfen aber alle meine Pflanzenstärkungsmittel nicht gegen den Sternrußtau an meinen Remontants. Die sahen dann nicht besonders schön aus, bekamen aber im Herbst nochmals gesunde Blätter. Das ist der Fluch der sauberen, immer schwefelärmeren Luft in den letzten Jahren.<br />Morgen oder übermorgen bekomme ich die vorletzten neuen Rosen - ich könnte Dir den Regen schicken, damit ich nicht im Schlamm pflanzen muss....<br />Liebe Grüße<br />RudolfRudolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487381012810539996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-7582751311775206082013-11-08T10:11:04.165-08:002013-11-08T10:11:04.165-08:00Jessie, thanks, I am always happy when I can inspi...Jessie, thanks, I am always happy when I can inspire someone to garden organically :-)!<br /><br />serendipity, in general we are really lucky in terms of the weather here (today sunny 76 F/24 C), but we could need some more rain.

Here we almost have to force our roses to go into dormancy and take a break!<br /><br />Holley, I think that the color of 'The Prince' is incredible beautiful and the fragrance is very strong and pleasant, too. In my garden I found out that I have to plant him in a fairly shady location otherwise the rose petals will burn and become crisp in the summer. He mildews a little in the spot where I have planted him but not too bad. <br /><br />Gardener on Sherlock Street, it is definitively an advantage in Southern California that the rose season never seems to end here :-)!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-72351382229552534782013-11-06T15:15:20.758-08:002013-11-06T15:15:20.758-08:00So pretty.

For us here there is still wonderful autumn weather in the forecast with highest day temperatures mostly in the 70ties. On Thursday it is even supposed to get 82 F/27 C. I guess that will encourage some more rose blooms. Yay!<br /><br />Adriana, 'Moonstone' was definitively the stand out rose last month! Unfortunately in general it is not a healthy rose in my garden, the bush can be pretty mildewy at times. <br /><br />Dorothy, please have in mind that I only showed the very best rose blooms in this post. Not all of my rose flowers look like the ones presented here, but altogether you are right. It was a very good month for my roses. <br /><br />Sigrun, Maybe 'Pope John Paul II' is sold under a different name in Europe. In my garden it is an outstanding white rose, but I have read that it is not doing so well in cooler climates. Sorry to read that 'Frederic Mistral' didn't want to grow for you and that you had trouble with other roses, too. I hope you find varieties that do well in your garden. They are too beautiful to pass up in my opinion, but of course I am biased. <br /><br />Christina<br /><br /><br />organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-47931706728500052472013-11-05T03:02:49.213-08:002013-11-05T03:02:49.213-08:00Wie schön, bei dir blühen die Rosen.

Many have rose leaves turned into into a dry, yellow, brown mess, but are not willing to fall down. In my monthly rose post I only show the very best in my garden at that time, which can be a little misleading... <br /><br />Lorraine, thank you so much. It makes me happy if you get some joy from looking at my photos!<br /><br />Dani, if 'Moonstone' has a good phase then this rose is truly wonderful, but it also can be exactly the opposite. You are right about 'Belinda's Dream'. This rose has very appealing soft, warm, pink color. Usually I am into the cool pink colored roses, but I made and exception for 'Belinda's Dream'. This rose just won my heart over!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-84387292646382613862013-11-04T03:51:12.450-08:002013-11-04T03:51:12.450-08:00Your " Moonstone " is gorgeous.
