'AUSmary' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

An exceptionally hardy rose. In the bed of roses coming out of their second winter in the ground (zone 6), all but Mary Rose had gone to ground (harsh winter, spring frost, no winter protection, windy spot, no second feeding at the end of the previous season: the toughest conditions for younger roses). In this bed, around Mary Rose, were Kimono, 2xSwany, Miss Fine, Pomponella, Chippendale... all froze/died, some started new growth a month later but remained relatively small roses, others I had to remove. Mary Rose, however, remained intact. I did not even have to cut it back much, it just started flowering early in the season and finished as the last. I suppose that makes sense, Mary Rose is said to be hardy to zone 5 and the rest of them to zone 6.

I have a Mary Rose that did not fare well the last couple years and I realize it was in probably too shady of a spot. I’m thinking about moving it to a sunnier spot, but the drainage is a little slow in that area. It does drain but it drains a little slow. Anybody have experience with planting Mary in such circumstances?

Hi, I only just planted it this past spring, but Mary Rose is doing very well in a very sunny spot in my slow-draining clay soil. I’m in zone 7b NJ.

At the bottom of the Mary Rose Description page, a note is given:
"The Plant Science Dept. of the Nova Scotia Agriculture College evaluated 58 English Roses to assess their hardiness and disease-resistance. Mary Rose was found to be reasonably tolerant to blackspot.
Some differences of opinion about parentage, see References."
This study is not shown in the Reference section. Does anyone know how to access it?
