Please enjoy your time here on our forum.
Welcome to Peter Beales Roses: A discussion forum for roses, run by rose lovers for rose lovers both experienced and those just getting into the wonderful world of roses.
You are not logged in.
@ Brogusblue: You must have been very busy to create this website but the results certainly were worth the effort. Well done. Thanks for letting us have a look at your garden via all your lovely photos, very interesting!
@ Mellie: I hope you'll get the rose from Lens (I didn't know they have it, I had bought my plant from Schultheis nursery in Germany). If they don't accept card payments I guess they'll either send the bill in advance or most likely their roses are payable on delivery and you can transfer the money to their bank account.
I'm sure you'll like 'Frau Eva Schubert', it's really a most lovely little rambler and one of the few repeat flowering ones.

I have wanted to post this link for some time but forgot to do so until now – "Heritage roses and gardens photos": CLICK HERE (on The Heritage Rose Foundation's Old Rose Forum).
There are many excellent photos of old garden roses (and quite a number from Etienne/amiroses who also has posted a few of his photos here on the forum). What may be a bit unusual, you have to scroll down to see the first post (usually with the photo) as the initial post of a thread is at the bottom of the page. Definitely eye candy 
.
As I have mentioned Etienne, have you ever had a look at his "Roses Anciennes" on msn Groups? There are many lovely rose photos too: CLICK HERE.

Oh joy. Hannes, a rose troll in disguise! More beautiful photos to add to my already ridiculous long list of must have roses. Are you aware Hannes, that I have just planted 96 more roses in a garden that only has room for 50? I do so need help. No wait! I could start a rose nursery!

Dear Oldrosarian,
I'm amazed how you can do that, planting that many roses. I can barely find good spots for 30 when my garden has room for 50 more roses . As you have mentioned needing help, believe it or not but I'd gladly help you in your garden if I were in your area.

Me? Never. I wouldn't even think of such an outrageous behaviour ... BTW, as you've checked out the photos, did you see the lovely 'Setzer Noisette' and the Noisette 'Multiflore de Vaumarcus'? Or the gorgeous pics of the Gallica 'Reine de Perse' or the beautiful rambler 'Caroubier'? And what about the mouthwatering photo of Barbier's splendid HW rambler 'François Foucard'? Just to name a few 
BTW, that also reminds me, a few days ago I unsuspectingly logged on the forum and had a look at the forum's gallery 'Rose Images from our forum members'. Two minutes later I was lost. Someone had posted a bunch of lovely rose photos and I deeply fell in love with 'Caroline Marniesse','Pirouette', 'Flore' 'Pilarcitos' and especially with 'Jessica'. Tough luck as only 'Flore' and 'Caroline Marniesse' are easily available in my part of the world ...

I still have Britta's marvellous photos from Ballinlough Castle Gardens engraved on my mind, especially the Walled Rose Garden, that gorgeous Hydrangea in the shrub border ...
So I checked out her pics on flickr today to see these in larger size. Absoulutely stunning.
If you haven't visited "Britta's World of Photos" on flickr yet – highly recommended! You'll find photos of roses, photos from her garden, plants, parks and gardens, animals, ... If you know "Britta's World of Photos" but haven't been there for some time – highly recommended to visit again! Britta has been rather busy this year and added quite a number of shots. All of them excellent. Looking at her perfect photos is pure joy: CLICK HERE.
Have a lovely weekend

I couldn't agree more! I have spent quite some time browsing on Britta's website lately, and am especially fascinated by the flowers 'on black' (and the stunning fossil picture). Absolutely perfect.
happy browsing

Hi all,
Looking at rose photos on the web easily can take a few hours of your life away. 
BUT is often very inspiring (and more often than not will lead to an expansion of your wish list )
So whenever you have a few minutes to spare and would like to get inspired by gorgeous rose photos you could visit the Japanese blog "In the shadow of the rose" (by an author called chiebaba): CLICK HERE.
The blog has a wealth of excellent photos of lovely roses (there are a few other photos too but mostly roses, many Old Garden Roses). Be sure to check out the pages of the Monthly Archives too (you find the links on the right-hand side, fifth section heading from top, currently 2008/10 to 2005/04).

Hi Hannes,
Thank you for the link to "In the shadow of the rose".( I found your post today, sorry)
I might have come across this site. Because I searched Mme. Renahy last week.
But I haven't looked into other pages.
Her photos are so beautiful. And what a collection!!
Well worth to see.
Now I'm imaginig a rose troll watching multiple computer screen like day traders do.....
I've impulsively clicked 4 more roses.
Mme. Renahy, France Info, Belle de Crecy, Black Boy.
Oh dear, I can't ask my husband even a pack of manure for anniversary anymore.

Anyway, excellent choice of roses, MAKI. About 'Black Boy', is it the Kordes' rose or the one bred by A. Clark?

It is Kordes' moss 'Black Boy'.
I hadn't known about this rose.
When I clicked 'Belle de Crecy', I searched one to go with.
I found BB and looked up HMF. It said "very disease resistant".
I had drop-kicked 'Deuil de Paul Fontaine' before for PMD,
so I thought "Really?! Good job Kordes!" and clicked.
BB seems rather rare in Japan. I could find only few pages.
I found one of Japanese blog wrote that 3rd year BB sent out 3m long shoots.
But it was after I ordered.
Might be much bigger than I expected. 
Do you think it is OK to cut her back short, to 50-60cm, after flowering?

I too got aware of 'Black Boy' only recently when I ordered roses from a small German nursery and saw the rose on their website. They have a few nice photos: CLICK HERE (you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them).
Interesting that you have read about 3 m long canes, this does't seem to be the norm for 'Black Boy', height for this rose is usually given as 120 cm to 150 cm but well, roses sometimes behave very differently with different growing conditions. Nevertheless, I think you'll be able to keep the rose in check with a more severe pruning. BTW, there's another moss rose bred by R. Kordes, this one is called 'Blue Boy' (entry on HMF).

Nursery I ordered is small and seems new.
This is first time to order to them and I am not sure if they send me genuine Black Boy.
The photo of BB on their website is 'coming soon'....
The photos of Stauden und Rosen are beautiful. I think I have seen Blue Boy in rose book but she is also rare in Japan.
The blog is HERE
She appears on 2007.05.14.Mon / 23:00 and 2007.05.23.Wed / 20:00(click open more)
Her flower looks like HP's.
According to the article, initial growth was slow. But from second year, she became very vigorous, without caring beetle larvae around her feet.
I really want to keep her compact. Don't want to train that cane!

Hello MAKI,
Good to hear from you again Thank you so much for sharing the link to the slide show, lovely roses! And lots of them.
Have you ever been to Keisei Rose Garden yourself?

Hi,
@Cyndy, Hannes,
I'm happy to here you like it. Keisei Rose Garden is far from my place and I've never been there. It is near Tokyo.
@Pete,
I think I posted I would dig her up to check her root before. Yeah, I did it.
She had looked strange since beginning of season. Flowers are few, no shoot, no growth.
I was wondering that's because the place is too shady and she couldn't stand it anymore.
So I decided to re-arrange the site moving her 1m to get more sunshine.
I dug her up but there were not much roots left.
"JP beetles" I thought. It is not rare in my garden.
I decided to grow her in a pot until she recovered.
So I sank her roots in bucket water with vital essence and started preparing soil.
When I backed to the bucket I saw white crumb like things were floating in the water.
It was TERMITE!! I washed her roots and found two big holes had penetrated her base.
TERRIFIED... I asked myself if I could save her but answer was no.
My GT was standard and the holes were far under the budded point.
Drainage is first, less organic matters than sunny place.
I had forgotten it. It was shady and damp place but I must have used too much compost.
Worst thing must have been bark compost mulch.
Sigh... I hadn't known termite loved Rosaceae.
I can't miss GT and bought new one, not standard and cheaper one immediately.
I want to believe that healthy roses are not eaten by termite, only weakened one for some reason...
