tsubasahomeI finally got my Cornelia in the mail today and planted it. It was a kind of puny band, but it had good roots and I had no potting mix. If it were anything other than a hybrid musk rose, I would've waited and potted it up...I'm sure it will be okay.
The thing is, I had originally ordered it from Northland Rosarium, and put in a Konigin von Danemark to meet the order minimum, and it turned out that Cornelia was actually out of stock. =_= They did send me an excellent Konigin von Danemark, though! Since I couldn't live without Cornelia, I wound up having to get it from Rogue Valley Roses, and it was quite a bit smaller than what I'm used to getting from Northland Rosarium. However, it definitely is Cornelia, since it had a flower attached.
Konigin von Danemark seems like a really great rose! It's already grown a ton and absolutely nothing will eat it, even when its neighbors are being devoured by insects! I'm also impressed by what a vigorous grower Honey Sweet is. I'm starting to get the idea that the bad reputation of Silver Shadows is largely undeserved...maybe it's the kind of rose that does better on its own roots, as our two plants are certainly not shy growers or bloomers!
