Claire Austin

Healthy plant, bloomed in 6 weeks!

I had a spot picked out for a climbing rose. I was going to wait until spring to plant one, but figured if I got it in the ground mid to late summer, it could get established and take off in the spring. I planted this Claire Austin mid July and by August 29, I had an open bloom with a few other buds on the plant! I followed planting and fertilizing instructions to the letter. So happy to have this beautiful, healthy, happy plant. The plant was shipped with care and arrived in great shape, too.

Strong Plant

She arrived & we acclimated her to our weather for a few days on the deck before planting. Then we had a massive heat wave. She looked like she was struggling, so we shaded her a bit & kept her hydrated. She came through wonderfully! No blooms quite yet—we just wanted her to survive the heat after planting! We ordered two more. Can’t wait to see how she grows & blooms!

A delightful creamy-white slow climber

My Claire Austin has been through it. I revamped my garden summer '23 in an overly hot July (Zone 7a) and all of my roses had to get moved. SInce Claire can handle a little shade, I thought I'd move her to a part-shade area where she could climb, but she started to struggle. She de-foliated and starting turning brown. In a panic, I dug her out of that spot and made another - final - home for her in a full-sun area and prayed she would make it. I gave her a severe haircut and waited. I swear by HR Founders Fish Fertilizer and soil amendments, making sure she and her new home were well attended. By now it was August. Slowly she started to come back to life and now, almost a year later, she is thriving in a 7 foot tall obelisk getting taller and fuller every day. I love her creamy-white flowers and healthy foliage. Her scent is not as strong, but she makes up for it in beauty. Thank you, HR, for giving us the tools to make our roses thrive!

Five Buds in Two Days!

The rose bush arrived last week and we planted it over weekend with lots of comoost in the hole and surrounding the plant. When it arrived it looked healthy, but there were no buds on the plant. They might be a little hard to see, but after TWO DAYS THERE ARE FIVE BUDS and the rose is growing vigorously! I'm so excited to have Clair Austin roses growing up a trellis as one of the focal point in my garden! If it keeps going as it started it is going to be a spectacular addition to our garden! I'll keep posting on progress.
