'Ginger Syllabub' rose Reviews & Comments

This rose was recommended to me for its fantastic fragrance, and indeed several visitors to my garden have said it has the best scent of all my roses, however I only barely smell it at all! I think it must vary a lot for different people, so sniff before you buy.
Very healthy light green foliage. A bit slower to repeat than some of my other roses, but each flower lasts at least 2 weeks so puts on a good show. Seemed stiff and upright like a bush for the first few years, but is now getting taller. Thick stems, so perhaps not the easiest to train, but they are not brittle, so can bend a bit. Flowers start more yellow then turn more apricot.

Someone recommended this rose to make for one specific location. Can it tolerate shape?

I planted this rose in a warm full sun position and it blooms all summer with a break after the spring bloom. My problem right now (August/Sept) is all the leaves have dropped off the canes except at the ends where it is blooming. The leaves on the end of the long canes look fresh, not burned and the blooms look good. What is going on?

Climbers will often bare-up at the base, but you can control this by pruning and/or by "pegging." To peg, bend the long stem to the ground (the more horizontal the better) and secure with a peg or metal pin. You will get new shoots and blooms all along the stem. My grandmother used to do this, and the effect is glorious. If you (like me) have limited space, you can arch the stems closer to the plant and/or arch them completely over the plant and secure them on the opposite side. Paul Zimmerman has an excellent video online. Just Google him +"pegging roses." You'll learn a lot.

I live 6,000 feet up in the San Gabriel Mountains of San Bernardino County, California. This has been an amazing rose in my garden from the moment I planted her. Prolific continuous bloomer. Fragrant. I let clematis climb all over her, dark purple Jacksonii, of course. GORGEOUS!
