The locally sold Paramounts are processed in east TX. Lonestar is one of the packagers. I don’t recall the other names.
Back to the topic at hand, is anyone familiar with the striped poulsen mini, “Gigi”? It apparently actually won an award at the Madrid Rose Trials, for whatever that’s worth.
I ask only because my supermarket has them on sale for $1.50, and I have a “Denise Parade” acquired this way that hasn’t done half bad, and is 2 1/2 feet tall now.
Gigi has also done well as a garden rose in this climate, Philip. I’ve not grown it be know two friends who do and find it good in their gardens.
I may have access to Moore’s ‘Candy Cane’ here in BC, Canada. Interesting pedigree and plant. Where do the stripes come from on it? Maybe the “unnamed seedling”?
Candy Cane is an interesting climber. Mr. Moore never did anything with it and theorized he probably should have as it’s a true bicolor and not really “striped” but the colors “break”. I wish he’d kept greater information about what that seedling was as this was around the time he had begun trying to coax stripes from Ferdinand Pichard. All we need is for someone to create an app which will do complex DNA testing on roses to answer that question. Please, go for it and let us see the results!
Thanks for that info, and mayhap I will ask after it.
