Liz said in another thread: “Earthsong, Golden Unicorn, and Prairie Harvest have huge hips on them”. I ordered 1 each of Golden Unicorn and Prairie Sunrise from Chamblee’s this spring. I’m still trying to figure out what I actually received. When I repotted them, I found out I had a total of five roses, not two, so I’m not complaining. All five are still in pots and all five have set hips. Three are obviously neither Golden Unicorn nor Prairie Sunrise (my best guesses at this point for the identity of those three is one Amiga Mia and two of Dr. Buck’s stippled roses, not sure which one). I do have one possible Golden Unicorn and one possible Prairie Sunrise, but I have questions about both. The other four roses have set large hips, close to 1 inch in diameter, but the possible GU’s hips are only about half that size. The possible PS appears identical to the pictures and descriptions I’ve found except for one thing. Chamblee’s website raves about the scent of PS. I’ve been able to detect little or no scent from this rose. I’d appreciate any feedback from anyone familiar with these two roses. Any suggestions on how I determine if I have the real things?
