Just cut my first blooms from Sweet Chariot which was planted in the ground spring 2023. Very fragrant and gorgeous cerise color. As recommended I need to fertilize. Also this plant is in partial shade unfortunately. Will see how it progress es this year.

I have two Sweet Chariots that in the last eight years have moved from pots into the ground, and then I relocated them once more this spring when I moved around some other shrubs and roses in a long-planned update of the plantings my front and back yards. It is a great rose with a tidy mounded habit. I love how very tiny the foliage is.

Yes, I remember when it first came out. It crated quite a sensation. It used to be marketed in hanging baskets which makes it easier to appreciate the fragrance.

Thank you for your info. It sounds like they weren’t hard to transplant. I would like to get more. What zone are you in?

I bought Seaside Swirl on sale in October in a 5 gal pot. We were just coming out of one of the worst droughts ever. I have never planted a rose in October in my z6 Pennsylvania garden. But I got it in the ground, fill sun. Just picked its first blooms on 5/15/25 after 3 days of rain(4”). The bush is covered in buds that are beginning to open. Will try to take a photo once it stops raining. Very nice scent. Looks like a wild rugosa.

Rev Douglas Seidel mentions a “Purple Boursault” growing next to a stone pillar near an old barn in Pa., discovered when he was a child when he started rose hunting. He lived outside of Easton, Pa. This was mentioned in a piece he wrote for Heritage Roses, vol.XXV, no. 4, 2000, Still The Thrill Of The Hunt. He mentions quite a few old roses in this article.

This is one tough plant. I had a tiny plant with one basal planted in a terrible spot with too much shade. I dug it up and moved it twice, it looked like it would die for a few weeks but I continued to give it water soluble fertilizer. I checked it yesterday and it looked much healthier and even had a bloom and new growth.

How is your Barbara Worl/Grandmother’s Hat doing now? The exact same thing as you describe has happened to my Barara Worl. My mail ordered plant was a spindly stick. That was over 3 yrs ago. I found it during last year’s horrible drought looking very sad, but it did have some leaves. I replanted it in same area late last summer and am hoping it will survive. Thank you very much for your post. It has given me renewed hope.
