How is Chianti in regards to black spot. I have an organic garden and don't spray. I have admired photo's of this rose for years and would like to add it to my garden. I live smack in the middle of the black spot belt in the Southeast US.

Did you ever try it? Blackspot is also a big issue where we live in NC.

In the early 2000s, this rose showed up grafted with other Austins at a local high end nursery in the Portland Metro. They were defoliated by June in their huge pots. Looking back, I can't recall if it was from black spot or downy. They look alike at that time of year here. It's too hard to inspect things up close at nurseries. I recall this because it was my first time seeing it and my impression was "ew...".

Is Super Jane thorny or not? There is contradictory information on the description page at the moment.

It can be either. In the Breeder's Notes, Kim has put:
"This rose can express canes completely without ANY prickles. It can also express canes covered in the dense, small prickles from its mutliflora heritage, and even canes with large, hooked, climbing tool type prickles."

Fascinating! Thank you for the info. Apologies for not noticing the Breeder's note in the first place; I will read more carefully in future. :)

I own this rose in Connecticut. It has lived for many years on a hot dry stone wall next to the highway with minimal dieback. I doubt it would do as well if not in this hot location. I purchased it from Will Tillotson's "Roses of Today and Yesteryear." Why it is not sold more widely is a mystery. It is not even in Peter Beale's "Classic Roses". Why? This is a mystery. Last winter was very hard on roses, but Etain came through smiling and while there was some dieback, it was easy to prune out and now it has bloomed and is filled with new reddish shoots. I sing the praises of this rose!!!

Hello, I live in Guiford Ct. zone 5 and would like to grow Etain on an arbor. Could you tell me when it blooms because I am looking for a climber that blooms in early June. Also, any other info on Etain would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Liz

Many gardeners wonder why a certain really good rose gets lost in the mists of time. There are so many roses introduced each year it gets very confusing. However there are three other ramblers which are very similiar to Etain and because they came out in the early 1900'sand Etain in the early 1950's, would be better known.
Ashdown Roses carries Etain.

Which other ramblers are like Etain? Since you mentioned three, it sounded like you knew some specific ones.
I'm also curious if Etain can stand up to some rain, and if it hangs on to its petals or drops them cleanly. I just dug up and threw out Paul Noel for those reasons...the blooms turned brown after one rain and then hung on for a long time (over a month) looking pathetic. It would probably be a great rose in a drier climate.
Our weather (Asheville, NC) is not too hard on roses, but I avoid any that are likely to ball or melt in rain due to our occasional thunderstorms.

'Albertine' is quite like 'Etain'. In the south-west of the U.K. it is blackspot resistant but I have seen it in warmer areas with rust. The blooms stand up well to rain, however, its main fault is that the flowers don't fall off cleanly after they are over. Otherwise a very pretty easy rose.

PORTLANDIA climber is not easily found in nurseries but if you do, buy it!
It is a wonderful rose! This is its second year in Western NC (Zone 6B) and it is growing very well and hasn't stopped blooming. The blossoms are smaller than most roses but the coloring (hard to describe pink/peach/apricot with a glowing yellow center), number of petals, fragrance make them a pure delight. It is growing on a trellis along with clematis: Texensis Princess Diana and together what a show they produce! When I enjoy a combination like this I tend to want to reproduce it in another location in the garden so will be buying more. Our drought brought out the spider mites but that is all....no black spot or mildew.
Enjoy!

We are trying out Portlandia on a SW facing trellis, in a very dry bed with hot afternoon sun. I already have a Niobe clematis on the same trellis.
I hope the combo works out as well for us as you say it did for you. We are also in Western NC, in Asheville and it would be great to hear about other roses that have done well in your garden. We grow over a hundred varieties of roses mixed with lots of other plants in our ~1/2 acre garden. (I hope HMF gets this message to you even though you commented as an unregistered guest.)
