'Coquette des Alpes' is listed as commercially available, but under "Buy From" only archives are listed.

That is a snag of the software, it does not discern between archived and current nurseries.

In other words, it is not commercially available, right?

I had this rose in a pot in part-shade. I live in zone 9a. It is hot and humid here - and when it did bloom (which wasn't that often) the blooms balled and didn't open properly. I water and fertilize regularly, and my other roses in similar light conditions were doing fine. Perhaps this is a rose for cooler climates, where it might perform better.

I thought I wrote those words, but since I'm not Carlene, those are my sentiments exactly. And I too live in the same zone.

this is all about the Frau Karl parentage and balling in the rain.
I still love the Frau, though, but she probably needs an awning to be happy.

"It's not the heat. it's the humidity..." Gruss an Aachen and Frau Karl Druschki are happy in my dry-summer zone 10a.

Here in southern Appalachia we have mild, damp conditions that favor balling in roses, and I have discarded a number of varieties for that reason. I have not had this problem with Gruss an Aachen or Pink Gruss. I wonder if the problem described above is peculiar to Florida and similar climates. This is odd, because the Florida climate is not particularly bad for balling.
In my garden, these roses, on their own roots, and with 5 hours of sun, quickly grew to 3.5' x 3.5' with excellent repeat bloom. The plant habit is graceful and compact, requiring little pruning. They are susceptible to blackspot.

It’s very hot during the growing season here in Dallas, TX and Gruss an Aachen blooms most all the time. As much as any rose I’ve ever grown. For me, the fragrance is great too. Everything about this plant is graceful. Great rose for the garden, but the blooms don’t do well when cut and put in a vase, if that is something that is important to you.

I uploaded my photo of 'Adele Prevost' taken in Sweden, but given the descriptions in References, I suspect the rose might have been mislabeled. Can we add that to the text beside the photo?

This may not be the correct place to contact you, but on July 27 of this year (2024), I donated $30 to HMF. But as of August 5, I still cannot access "Lineage."
