"Somehow" your brother's PCM "didn't survive" - that sounds very suspicious to me Lin! No, seriously, well done on getting yours to survive and flourish - what's the secret? Distant Drums looks like it has similar colouring to my favourite roses, a pink and orange mix - might be one for me to consider. Thanks for showing us those two in particular.
Lovely roses in your garden Lin. Your PCDM rose is very similar to the one I have in my garden, 1st year. The blooms are large peachy colour, long lasting and the plant itself is very healthy. Yes, Julia child rose has been a best performer in my garden this year. Really impressed. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful roses.
Your roses are looking very nice. I bought Distant Drums and Princess Charlene this year as well. They are just little band roses, but each is putting on new growth and seem happy. Distant Drums is a favorite of a lot of people in the US and Princess Charlene is used in weddings bouquets so it must make a good cut flower. Glad to see both of your's are doing so well.
I got distant drums and the impressionist this year. The impressionist is doing fine but distant drums was on the verge of dying, literally on the last cane turning black and then I placed it in full sun and gave it a huge drink of water and then ignored it afterward and 8 weeks later i got a new basal shoot. Now the last remaining cane has died down and I have the brand new shoot growing with one bud at the top. I am delighted to say the least. Where did you buy your PCDM from?
I’m shaking my head. I think I counted 6 of us who lost princess Charlene de Monaco now. All within a few months of purchase! But YOU! Your distant drums, raspberry cupcake both flying compared to mine. Money shots every angle all across your garden whilst the builders are in! I shake my head. I’ll turn the light off on way out 😂😂😂😂
You are too modest. Your roses are looking great. You beat me to the Parfuma collection video. There I am waiting for them to bloom and then I see your video. My brother advise me to take video clips of whatever looks best and then put it together in one video because it’s just to hard to catch each rose at it’s peak. He does have brain cells that work 😂
