'Eurydice' rose Reviews & Comments

|
I have been growing Eurydice in the nursery for years but this spring, because it just happened so that they were close to Aennchen von Tharau in the greenhouse, I discovered that the two are identical.
At least the two I grow. But it is therefore only reasonable to assume that in commerce and gardens in western Europe the two are either the same or mixed up.

I have noticed the same. It also seems that Jean Laffite is a bit different in a bud form from this Eurydice/Anchen von Tharau rose? Also, some of the Annchen's in the photos seem to be more white/have less petals?

Interesting that you noticed the same! Unfortunately I don't grow Jean Laffitte so cannot have an opinion. As for the rest, I usually don't base my judgement / identification observations on the colour: too variable from year to year, weather conditions, exposition, soil, rootstock... Shape and sizes of prickles, stipules, buds (leafy or not...) is in my experience much more relevant.
Same for the petal count. The best exemple being the albas 'semi-plena' 'Maxima' and 'Suaveolens' that on the same plant show extreme number of petal variation, 'Maxima' being at times similar to 'semi-plena', especially the first blooms to open.

I got Jean Laffite this year, but it is a small plant, so nothing to compare so far. When looking for it though it seems that in some photos Jean looks almost peach and a bit more hybrid-tea like, so quite curious if mine will be different from Annchen.
