The picture is 17 years old. It shows a color, seldom seen on Rosa Traum during a mild but very humid summer.
But you can recoignize the shape of the flower. Take a look at the calyx and the corolla tube and notice the difference between this one and your Rosa Traum. My plant originates from the Herklotz - collection at Hannover-Herrenhausen.
Rosa Traum is a very valuable crossing partner. It has versi and the color yellow in its genotype.
Oh my goodness Monika this is just gorgeous. Its color is very vibrant.
It is joydie, and my camera is always ready for the documentations of such rarities.
If only, mine will look like this one. How could I not be happy? Just beautiful intense color. Maybe you could ship me a few tons of that volcanic soil your brugs are grown in. :-)
Monika,
Its such a delight to have you here at Dave's posting these wonderful pictures. Its like going for a walk in a national botanical garden with some many lovely things that you grow.
Its like I said in the beginning of the thread; its a color, seldom seen. It needs perfect weather conditions to suit her.
Mine came from LBJardenier, doubt if it would be that beautiful??? Here's hoping!!
That is absolutely beautiful, Monika
I am guessing it is Adora. It looks like it and I know, that Dr. Preissel asked Mme Blin for cuttings to send to California.
Hibiscus, is that where you got yours?
Yes, from Vickie. LBJ
I'm going to change my tag, thanks!!
Sorry to everyone that I sent rooted plants. We never even saw an Adora to choose from, here in USA.
don't be sorry!!! if it's Adora, it's beautiful and it's certainly not your fault!!! I love mine, whatever it is
Bless you tiG, you are an Angel!
hon, if anyone blames you, you let me know and I'll get them for you!!! It's kindof like starting all over with new info, isnt' it?? makes the game interesting if nothing else!!
Hmmmm....tag changing time again.They are both beautiful.
Does anyone in the States have the real thing?I don't know about the rest of you but I really don't care what the flower is as long as I can get the right name on it.I havn't seen a brug yet that I didn't like.....well maybe Shredded White and Janet Reno.
JT, finally!! Someone else who doesn't care for Shredded White. Don't have Janet, so can't comment on that one. I'm like tiG. Feel like I have a whole new brug and Gloria, don't you worry a bit about sending out Adora. I love have the fun of raising a brug that is two for the price of one. :-) Now we can go on a hunt for RosaTraum.
Would love to see a pic of bloom on your Adora, Tig:) I am looking for a Rosa Traum .... don't remember what Adora looks like. Sure wish LBJ and everyone would get their brug names correct.....never know what one is getting when we order:)
Owen
I am talking about the suppliers....not you, Gloria:)

Thanks Monika for taking the time to post the picture. Definitely different from the one I posted. Love the intense color.
owen, mine isn't that big yet, but going by what Barbara got from LBJ (look for picture last two days) and mine came from the same source, through different person, I'm assuming mine will be Adora. Would be cool if a real RT snuck through though!
Monika,
I the color really that intense. It is wonderful. Thanks again.
Barbara, the color is that intensive ONLY by ideal weather conditions. These are not often where I live.
As always...In awe.
Rosa Traum has one big fault: the corolla edge likes to dry early, Adoras is thicker.
stunning......what a vibrant color. hat are the ideal weather conditions to get this color?
Monika, can you tell us where we migh obtain this one???
"eyes"
Eyes,you get it in Europe
Monika ,do you have a picture of the color it usually blooms?
I do. I will post it tonight otherwise tomorrow.
I was looking back, and saw this! OMG!! Wouldnt ideal weather all the time be wonderful! Great picture Monika! Wow!!
Shelly,I wondered where you were?? I can just get lost looking at old Monika threads,even forget why I went there,
I was going to bump one the other day,and just got too engrossed,if fact,I am going to find it now,if you don't hear from me,you know where I am!
lol isnt it amazing root? I sware I have spent the better part of 3 weeks looking up Monika's posts! Just unbelievable!
I would say I would come find ya if you got lost, but I know you would much prefer to stay lost. :o)
I bumped one Shelly,it was not the one I was looking for,but had great info,I was looking for the one where she is up on a ladder collecting pollen,or maybe spreading it,it is a close picture to the Alley she just put up,but in full bloom.
(I'll come find you,if you get lost in there!)LOL!!!
lol ok!
Wow, did you two stay up all night? LOL I finally went to bed a little after 3:30. What a way to spend nights, looking thru Monika's posts and pictures.
LOL Ada, I think I lost Rooty somewhere, but I havent heard his SOS, so Im not too worried yet. Theres so much info to learn from Monika. Its just awsome, the way she plans in depth about her crosses... why she would do one cross instead of another, pictures of what a diseased plant looks like, just everything!
It is beautiful. Where can I find a pic of Adora?
Here ya go WS. http://plantsdatabase.com/go/3042/index.html
