Rosa 'Chaldogro' - Have you heard of this rose?


The plant label at Floria 2011 says that the rose variety is Rosa 'Chaldogro' but I am unable to find any information about it on the internet. A Google search came out with zero results.

Have you heard of this rose?




“Rossa 'Chaldogro' - Have you heard of this rose? ”, a copyrighted post, was written for My Nice Garden blog by Autumn Belle @ http://www.mynicegarden.com/ on December 3rd, 2011.


TIPS:

  1. Epsom salt 
    • For extra blooms and more intense colour, feed your rose plants with one teaspoon per foot of height. For mature plants, sprinkle half a cup at the base.
  2. Freshly cut roses
    • Add a little antiseptic mouthwash to the water. It will make cut flowers last longer. 
  3. Solar Power
    • Your rose shrubs should get at least 5 - 6 hours sunshine every day.
  4. Watering technique
    • Avoid water on the leaves but the roots should get a good soak. 
    • Water on the leaves will promote black spot disease and powdery mildew
    • Use a small soaker hose to form a ring / loop at the base of the plant
  5. Pruning
    • For your protection, use
      • a pair of barbecue tongs to hold the branches before you cut them off. 
      • a pair of long leather or goatskin gloves
    • Proper pruning tools
      • curved bypass shears are better than anvil shears
      • use lopping shears or pruning saw to cut/saw off the thicker branches.

  2. I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to Roses, so I can't help with an ID. It is a very pretty pink though. Thanks for the tip about putting mouthwash into the water when keeping Roses in a vase. I hadn't heard of that before.

  3. Karin, thanks!

    Bernie, under natural lighting, the rose colour is lavender pink. The mouthwash tip is a surprise to me too!

  8. Another postharvest tip to lengthen vaselife: If you bought a cutflower from storage, cut an inch at the base before putting it in water; put a few drops of disinfectant at the water; mix a teaspoon of sugar.

  12. Barbeque tongs! I never heard of that, but may start using that tip! Those thorns can get nasty!

  13. Good tips, Autumn Belle; we always add epsom salt to the soil when we plant, but I forget to give them occasional does. Thanks for the reminder.

  15. It looks similiar to the Therese Bugnet (spelling probably wrong) that I grow. Mine gets plagued by little beetles, right when it is blooming, EVERY year. They must be tasty roses.
    Such a beautiful rose!
    Thanks for stopping by.
