Whiskey Mac

If you Google image then some pics are more apricot, so it's down to how good the camera is at capturing the colour

A lovely rose, I'm sure he will reward your care next summer

I was planting out a dwarf rhodo this year and came across a spindly bit of a miniature rose, which I pulled out. Didn't get much root with it, but thought as an experiment I'd shove it in a bit of compost and lo and behold, it came alive and even gave me a couple of little red blooms, so I'm sure yours will too.

 

Woo...do you think thats this old rose bush of darrans nannas could be whiskey mac???

 

Thanks woo,it didnt get any buds this yr so i will have to wait til next yr now to see a flower,ive taken some cuttings from it aswell x
Loli,i might be a step closer to knowing its name thanks to your thread xx

 

That's a coincidence, this thread. My wife recently visited a 'medium' and was told that my Dad (passed on a long time ago) said to get Whisky Mac. As my ground is Alkaline, I find a lot of plants struggle, indeed many are positively 'weedy' looking. I therefore plan to get this one and stick it in a decent size pot/container

 

Ive taken some cuttings from ours freddy,im still waiting for the mum plant to flower again which it didnt last summer your more than welcome to one if they survive this snow x

 

Joolz Whiskey Mac was one of my late Dads favourite Roses and he grew some beauitful roses when he lived in Aberdeen.

Its a beauiful Rose.

 

Hiya Joolz, that's a very kind offer Actually, it raises a question that I've had in my mind for ages, but never got around to asking. It's this, aren't 'bought' roses all on grafted rootstock? If so, won't cuttings revert back to 'type'?

 

Youve baffled me now Thats a woo question for answering x

 

Hi kath,i dont suppose you have any photos? i would love it if i could possibly positively I.D.darrans nannas rose as whiskey mac x

 

Have a look back over the thread Joolz....there's one or two pics you might be able to tell from those
Bless my Whisky Mac....it's coming into leaf and looking better than it's done in years...i'll take apic tomorrow

 

Thanks for that WOO Joolz!!

 

I'm gonna join in now here's my 'Whiskey Mac', picture taken last year, any help joolz?
