In Southern California, the rose will continue to bloom from early spring until late summer. The bush is tall and strong, the foliage are healthy and I never have any problem.
This rose is named after Gertrude Jekyll, a famous English gardener and writer. She is remembered for her subtle approach to the arrangement of plants in the gardens she created.She arranged the plants by colors that look like Impressionistic paintings. She arranged plants for color effect.Some suggested that she arranges plants according to color because of her deteriorating eyesight. In a border, lighter colored plants are planted in front and darker colored plants are planted at the back.
I have planted three of this roses and I have not pruned one of them last spring. I was surprised that it had lateral shoots although the blooms from the lateral shoots are not as big. Gertrude Jekyll is a perfect climbing rose for small gardens.
Your Gertrude Jekyll rose looks so lovely. It's shade of pink looks so pretty and the flower form is so well developed.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with Gertrude Jekyll is it blooms only once a year but the blooms are really lovely and it is so fragrant. Worth waiting to bloom once a year.
