Dear All,
Reine Marie Henriette looks like a great rose. Is there a reason it gets little publicity?
I cannot spray + live in hot, humid 7a. Are there problems, esp. Black Spot or Mildew,
that would keep this rose from doing well here?
Thank you.

Looking at the photos, I'm wondering if two different roses are pictured. I haven't grown RMH, but my memory of it is of a loose floppy rose, not the shapely upright HT in the Jardin de l'Aube photos. Its sport, Mme Driout, doesn't have that high-centred-shape bud either.
Interesting that early references about RMH mention few prickles, but 'Botanica's Roses' mentions its "considerable prickliness". Mme Driout is described as rather thorny in the Quest-Ritson 'Encyclopedia of Roses'.
Mme Driout was much healthier in my garden than the Quest-Ritson description, but I'm in zone 9b, with dry summers.
Later edit: the Reine Marie Henriette here I was comparing it with was incorrect (it was Noella Nabonnand).

Thank you. Charles Quest-Ritson, in Climbing Roses of the World, says this rose is susceptible to Black Spot, Mildew, + Rust, + that its petals may damp off in wet weather. He recommends it for warm, dry climates ("extremely attractive when it flowers well").
He also says MMe Driout is identical in every respect, except for her petal stripes. Maybe this will get untangled in a drier place.
The Jardin a l'aube red rose looks nice, too--wonder what it is.

It's looking as if what we have at Ruston's (South Australia) as Reine Marie Henriette may be what we and others grow as Noella Nabonnand. It was imported from the Beales nursery some decades ago.

The rose from ’ Jardins... seems to be too modern, to be an early ht, coming from G J .... . It seems very wrong to me ,in every aspect

Finding Rose Books to Buy Online, Just before We're Expected to Switch to Mobile Phone Apps--Is this an historical note?
Good news (9 May 2013): Peter Scheider on Roses is available through Amazon.com and Abebooks.com. Standard Shipping fee from Amazon's Outside Sellers is US $3.99 for delivery in the US. Today's lowest price for a New copy from them is $2.79. For a Used copy the price is 1 cent and up. A Used copy in Like New condition is 44 cents. Abebooks is in Canada. When I look (from the US), Abe's Standard Shipping fee to the US ($3.49) and the book prices are given in US$, with links to see the values already converted to other currencies. Your credit card charges will show a small fee for currency conversion. Addall.com and Biblio.com are other choices. Amazon.co.uk and its Outside Sellers offer books the other sites the other dealers don't have (for roses and textiles). The same is true for titles from Amazon.co.jp. Use the translation link at the top of the home page to translate the site. You can search their entire site or you can restrict your search to books printed in English. I haven't bought books from them and don't know their shipping charges. Even with payment for air shipment, the lowest price is sometimes at Amazon.co.uk or their Outside Sellers.
I hope you have good luck. I have. If you find only preposterous prices, check again from time to time. It helps to look at plenty of listings. A huge price may be a couple of inches from a good price. A copy that's cheaper or has something that's special to you may be low on a list that's supposed to go from the lowest price to the highest. New copies can be cheaper than used ones. When you find a copy whose condition and price seem okay to you, read the ads for copies that cost a little more. You might be willing to pay more for a book that has the author's signature, a personal inscription, a little drawing, or a pressed flower.
Happy trails, Pem

Our Callista is again in bloom, with heathy foliage and a good fragrance.
We live in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. In the mid-19th century, I'm told,
a nick name for Little Rock was The City of Roses.
We typically have hot, humid summers with little rain.
Roses here are very susceptible to mildew and black spot.
There must be something good about
Callista's susceptibility genes.
(Our earlier rose trimming problems turned out to be nibbling animals,
and not mis-applied weed-eating.)

Thanks for your input Pem. I'm very pleased 'Calista' is flourishing for you there.
As you know this rose is listed among Pat Henry's favorites.
She's a lady who knows a thing or two about roses, heat, and humidity.
Looking forward to more photos.
Best wishes, Robert

This looks like a beautiful rose with very good qualities, I found it by searching black spot resistant on Help Me Find. Thank you for specifying the disease resistance. Otherwise, I would never have found 07 7a 45b.
Warren Millington, I hope you will be able to register this rose and that it will be brought to market in the US. I looked at your other rose photos. The roses you've bred look wonderful in shape and color.
I am selfish. I live in Little Rock, AR, in USDA Zone 7a. Our summers are hot, humid, and droughty with intermittent rain. A beautiful rose with sun and heat and rain tolerance, and black spot and mildew resistance would be a great choice for me. I wish you the best.

Hi Pem, this rose was registered under the name of Sea of Pink. Its vigour, health and repeat flowering are all very good.It is never without a bloom.

Hello Warren, Shall we add it as a synonym or leave it up to you? There are a lot of your roses in HelpMeFind still parading under their breeding code numbers.

Actually... it appears we have a separate listing for 'Sea of Pink'. Looks like we need to combine them.
Mr. Millington, as Patricia suggests, can you identify other seedlings that have been registered so we may make the necessary corrections on HMF.

Howdy there , would it be possible to combine the two together please.
cheers Warren

We've done that and now we're hoping you can identify some of your other seedlings that we need to do the same. Thanks.

The other seedlings should be OK. There are two which are going through registration at the moment and I will change the seedling code to the registered name when all is done.
regards Warren
