| I was curious since I just bought a China rose called "White Pearl in Red Dragon's Mouth" and wondered if they were related somehow... Thanks, Maria |

Hi Maria (that's my sister name!),
I'm don't have an answer to your question, but I have a question for you! I noticed on your trade list that you are growing, "Hattie Button". What can you tell me about this rose? How are the blooms? Has it been hardy for you?
I was thinking of getting this rose come Spring, so any info would be greatly appreciated! Also, I would be interested in trading cuttings - I've never done it, but if you're interested, I have: William Baffin, Viking Queen, John Cabot, John Davis and Ramblin' Red. |

| Hello, I do not have any trace of a "Red Dragon" HP.
Should be a fancy name, do you know of any synonym?
Best wishes,
Pete. |

Bonjour
I have found in "the dictionary of the roses" of Finger the description of ' Red dragon' obtained by William
PAUL in 1878:
Climbing hybrid of a crimson shining, clearly and sharp colour at the same time;
the flowers double, are well formed, vigorous;
the foliage is green glaucous
The variete resulting de' Charles lefebvre';
this rose resembles to 'Marie Baumann' much . Dominique |

| Thanks Dominique, This Rose isn't present at l'Haÿ.
If it belongs to the "Charles Lefebvre" group, it has a bit
"Safrano" blood and should not do Alaska zone 4, while the
"Rosomènes" should with a good winter-protection (able without up to USDA zone 5)
Best wishes,
Pete. |
