In search of disease resistant yellows

Has anyone had experience with Lord Mountbatten? Saw recently in a no-spray rose garden in London and was looking much better than all other varieties.

For reference:

Brindabella LeadingGold (Trademark name) currently as pictured in the above weblink is the varietal: Chewevegolove (name sugests is has Baby Love in its pedigree)

Gardeners Glory is the varietal: Chewability (said to have Baby Love in its pedigree)

George if you look at the prefix of “CHEW” they all come out of England from Chris Warner, some go to Brinbabella and some from memory to Roses and Friends here in Australia

If he can produce roses in England and they stand up to what “Brindabella state”, why has no one else seen this.

Hi David, I don’t understand what you are actually asking here?

Brindabella states that they are “heat and mildew tollerant” If Chris Warner has developed these lines I wonder if anyone else pick up his breeding. Thats what I was saying/trying to say George.

Yes, David, I am for one ! LOL.

We are LUCKY to have these here.

Some like GG are used in Europe as well I imagine.

Back to the title of the thread, for mini, Rabble Rouser has been clean all year and two seedlings from Golden Horizen have cleaned up even with rampant mildew around. The larger yellows have gave me trouble with poor hip set, poor germination, weak seedlings and fast fade but this year is a little different with many more hips on the yellows and all nine seedlings from Arthur Bell were just planted in their grow bed. The yellows have croped up one here and one there with vigor and health from unexpected roses. So some of the new yellows like none fade Royal Gold can be crossed for vigor. Writing this just jogged my brain and now I know where the good full climbing yellow seedling came from.

Problem solved :smiley:

I wonder if Rust-Oleum has considered creating a line that

“STOPS BS”

…pardon the double entendre.

They’d never be able to keep up with the demand simply for the political use! LOL!

I would love to have a rose named “Rustoleum”. Disease resistant yellow? A yellow silk flower would do … just kidding. Rugosas don’t bloom in our Chicagoland alkaline soil, so my neighbor tied artificial silk flowers on her bush, they look better than the real flowers.

I love my yellow “Honey Bouquet”. I abused it: planted in a steep hill, rock-hard alkaline clay, scorching 100 degrees southwest sun, and it bloomed like mad. It doesn’t have BS either when it’s raining all-day, with 70% humidity.

This is what someone else wrote about Honey Bouquet in HMF: “I’ve only had this rose four months, but it is a favorite! Hasn’t grown much (2 1/2ft tall), but it just finished it’s third flush of 4-4 1/2” bright yellow blooms that just cover the bush of very healthy dark green leaves, creating a color contrat that is noticable 100ft away. The blooms have great holding power, better than anything else in my 90 degree Florida heat and humidity, and a wonderful fragrance too. Of my 100+ roses, this bush justs laughs at the pest and fungus that thrive on nearby plants. I love this rose and recommend it for anyone in the South."

John Bagnasco bred 2011 “Tangerine Streams” from Bill Warriner and Honey Bouquet. Absolutely gorgeous result, check out Tangerine Streams, 'Tangerine Streams' Rose
