Rose Traum
Another Beautiful Pink-
That is soo pretty - but so similar to Isabella.
oh no, not to me. I had Isabella bloom all last summer, and it doesn't look like that!
It really doesn't look anything like Isabella. Has yellow in the tube. Will try to take a better picture. Also, the pink is different. I would like to do a page with pink brugs comparing their differences. Not enought time in the day--as we all know.
I just posted Isabella in pdb yesterday. It would be nice to have all the pinks & yellows, etc all lined up!!
I agree but they would need to be single flower shots from the side and also looking into the tube of the flower. Brugs are strange-their interior and exterior colors can be different.
Thank you for posting, I have sent numerous rooted of these, have not seen it bloom.
Yep - & lighting would be different. Guess we'll never know!
Boy Barb, you are becoming another Monika!!! a mini Monika!
Barbara, I feel really bad about the many corrections I made almost every time, you post a picture. I dont do this in purpose, please understand. This is not Rosa Traum. If it is a european brug, the shape of the flower is much more like Adora.
I have Rosa Traum for 18 years.

Monika,
It is not your fault. It is the fault of a US grower who is selling miss identified plants. I purchased, along with many other on this site, many of our plants from this grower. I have caught 3 mistakes myself of the plants received from them. Thank you. I will make a note. Is Rosa Traum in your book? If so I will look it up.
It is not pictured in the book Barbara, but I will post pictures tonight.
Monika, No one here would ever get upset with you for correctly ID'ing a plant. We need to know the correct names or all the crosses we are making will be in vain. It's just sad we can't buy our Brugs from you. Then we would KNOW what we are getting.
Tonny, no chance to id this brug this way. There are close to 30 pink colored suaveolens available. Only cross pollination would do.
I feel bad about it, snow. It sounds like teacher manners, something, I really dont want.

Monika . . we always appreciate your knowledge and expertise. Thank you for all your help in identifying these brugs correctly.
Barbara . . . maybe eventually we will get all of our brugs that people show on the forum identified correctly. I know it is disappointing when we think we have something - - only to find out that we don't. And then there is the problem of having traded or sold these brugs as something that they are not and trying to correct that. I feel that among outselves, we can get brugs identified correctly but I don't think from outsiders, we will ever be able to be sure of what we are getting - - because of the mis-labeling. This certainly is a challenge.
I feel like Snow . . . wish we could get brugs from Monika and there would be no chance for error.
We're learning so much from you Monika. Please don't ever stop.
We love you Monika!!!

Monika....we need all the knowledge you can give us.
Glory, some of us more than others...LOL (meaning me)
Please correct me - that's why I post the pictures here. Having a new name is like having a new brug.
So, now I have to wait for my first bloom to see what I have. So glad you are here to help us out Monika.
I pollinated Charleston with Rosa Traum. It is a parent of many early hybrids. I had yellow x candidas with it as a parent.
Well, Adora isn't bad for looks either. I'll change my tag to read correctly. Thanks Monika. You are certainly a lot of help for us in getting names correct.
Charleston is one of my favorite euro brugs........
Jeanne, mine has one little bud. It is just beginning to Y. Can't wait to see if it looks like Barb's picture. I know I'd never be so lucky to have it look like Monika's picture. If I did get a bloom like that, you would all hear me yelling and feel the earth quake.
I'm glad that the confusion regarding naming gets sorted out here. Its such a wonderful way to learn when one can compare flower pictures to another. In the beginning my only point of reference for appearance of flowers is what I saw in Priesell's book and what is posted here. Now It would be wonderful to have Monika's book printed in English so I could have another wonderful reference book.
Have you heard anything further Monika from the publisher regarding an English translation? Update us when you know something. I want mine signed by you to cherish forever.
No, I have not, joydie. They take their time, LOL!
Monika, do not forget you are putting me and tiG on the cover!
Well Monika - they have to get it published before the next brug season. As you can see, we need all the help we can get.
Can you imagine if DG's brug database was just FULL of postings of correctly identified brugs. The list would go on forever it seems!
Keep correcting and teaching, Monika. It is unbelievable that so many of our brugs are mislabeled.....
We all admit, your a fountain of knowledge Monika. Keep teaching.
I can help in identifying european brugs, if I know them.
brugie, does this look like your calyx? does to me.
Monika, all my unknown pink Brugs will stay outside for frost this year.
I donīt like to have them, more.
In Germany we have somuch trouble with " unknown " pink Brugs........I hate it.
I will only care named pink Brugs you gave to me and the named pink Brugs from Mme Blin.
AND OF COURSE some of my pink crossings, they look much better than parents....this seedlings I can name by myself and I know what I have.
GL
yes another beautiful pink... I can't stand it.
Ludger you have email.

I'm not sure Arlene, if this looks like mine or not. I'm thinking that mine is more puffed out where this one has indentations in it and I do believe mine is bigger. I'm going to get off this site soon and go out and see if it is going to start opening today. Can't wait to see this flower.
