'Medallion ®' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I was wondering who uploads information on this site. When it comes to roses for instance, I see several varieties that are listed as introduced by Jackson & Perkins when in reality they were offered by multiple sources the first year of introduction.
Thank you,

In this case, William Warriner was an employee of Jackson & Perkins. It is natural that J&P subsequently distributed their roses to other nurseries. See also the quote from the American Rose Annual of 1972.

Not sure how the disease rating is Excellent- when mine is a BS magnet. Like the old style HTs. Big and beautiful blooms though with a honey scent, not a great repeater. But the bloom just wows so that’s why I am keeping it. Not crazy vigorous for me either, maybe blame the rootstock? I may try to own root it. Zone 8a North Texas.

The first flush of this rose in spring is a show stopper!

If you're having problems with Dr. Huey rootstock showing up, you could do what I did last year out of desperation with one of my plants: I "own-rooted" it. I took a long cutting (about two feet) of the original plant and scraped the sides of the bottom 12". Then I stuck that 12" in the ground and kept it moist. Guess what, it stayed green--and then sent out its own leaves.
I don't know how legal it was for me to own-root my own plants, but I was tired of having to deal with those ugly little red flowers which Dr. Huey sends up. This year once I know for sure that my own-root plant is okay and true to type, I will dig out that ugly rootstock. Enough already! .

Ariel7 - I found your comment most interesting. I strike most of my roses from cuttings and I too scrape the sides to expose the cambium layer which is apparently where the callusing (and roots) form. When one thinks about it I have a cutting about the size of a pencil, the circumference is perhaps half an inch, then a scrape up one side (another half an inch) and down the other side (another half an inch). That is a max total of, say two inches of cambium layer exposed. You scraping the sides of 12 inches, exposes a total of 24 inches of cambium layer. I won't be taking two foot cuttings myself, but you have influenced me to certainly scrape longer. THANK YOU.

Hello Patricia! Well, undoubtedly my cutting of two feet was far more than I actually needed. But I was finally just that disgusted with Dr. Huey rootstock. I had been trying to teach myself how own-root my plants and up to that point last year I had had no good results. When I tried to plant cuttings, I got withered, desiccated stalks. When I tried to follow online instructions and use ziplocks, etc., I got moldy messes. This was maybe my fifth or sixth attempt, hence the extreme measures. But it worked. To my delight, I finally know how to own-root my own roses.

Perfectly legal. Plant patents in the USA last 20 years. Medallion has been off patent since 1993.
