A Rose With Any Other Number of Petals…

Simple roses that make me happy

I ’m a braggart lover of rose wine . I know there are a lot of reasons not to make love roses — they are briary and bad tempered , they are beset by a seemingly eternal number of gadfly and diseases — but I love them anyhow . It may not be intellectual , but intellectual thought is overestimate when it come to horticulture . A garden should make you happy , even if it does n’t make sense !

I love all sorts of rose wine , but some of my favorites have the dim-witted flower with just a few petals . Wild roses have just five petals , as seen in the simple flowers ofRosa glauca(Zones 2–8 ) , a plant broadly grown for the beautiful foliage more than the flowers . Like most wild rose , it is very disease resistant and generally carefree , though it is very prone to the dreaded rose rosette disease . Learn more about rose stem canker disease here .

‘ Golden Wings ’ is one of my all - time favorite rose . bare , sick - yellow flower petal are set up off so beautifully by the coloured reddish stamens . It is a hybrid , but it has the godforsaken roseRosa spinosissimain its immediate parentage , giving it right cold tolerance , vigor , and disease resistance .

Rosa chinensis‘Mutabilis’has blooms that open with the pale yellow seen here and then darken to a warm pink as the flower ages . This is a slap-up rose wine for affectionate climates , thriving through summertime heat and blooming nonstop .

‘ Carefree Delight ’ has the perfect name for a nearly perfect plant ! Carefree indeed , it is disease resistant and grows into a prominent shrub covered with sheeny foliage . The small , pink , simple flowers are produced in huge masses .

Another image of ‘ Carefree Delight ’ . Each individual flower is small but is produced in such big number that the overall effect is double-dyed .
