Neptune balled badly in this unusually cool, wet spring: petals stuck together and the bud rotting before the bloom had a chance to open. My only rose of about 15 varieties that is doing that.

I wonder is perhaps this rose is inclined to sport. I once read an article by Douglas Seidel in which he stated that there are five forms of 'Marie Pavie', and in size they range from two to five feet. I have found this rose twice in piedmont North Carolina, and the first find is inclined to stay at about three feet or so, while the second one grows to over four feet. Has anyone else had experience with this?

My Marie Pavic/Pavie grows huge compared to any others I've heard about, literally seven feet tall and at least as much across. It must love the climate in Portland, Oregon. It's growing in full sun, and the initial spring bloom is in the thousands of blossoms. Sadly, the best bloom comes during spring rains, and the plant bows down under the weight of the soaked flowers.

I appreciate this rose, it has crept and leaped through evergreens, and tip rooted freely, creating a thicket of tiny leaves, stems, hundreds of flowers and thorns. Weeding nearby beds I'm sometimes scratched by a new plant springing up from a tip root.

There is no obvious way to change my password. I have searched the site for help.
