Author Message   Ton_hannink  My Garden Posted on Thursday, January 11, 2007 - 03:53 pm EST :    Today the first flowers of the small Camellia roseaflora.

I had no idea that there were camellias that would bloom this early. Is it tender? Heathergirl - County Durham, Zone "8"   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Thursday, January 11, 2007 - 05:44 pm EST :    What a beautiful flower! My usual question: is it growing outdoors? Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Ton_hannink  My Garden Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 05:52 am EST :    Some years ago I have bought these plants in Japan and they were rather expensive and therefore I keep them in the greenhouse until I have large cuttings and then I place them in the garden.

Cooper - NSW, Australia, Zone "10"   Rogervanloon  Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 03:09 pm EST :    Ton, I don't know about the hardiness here, but it seems fully hardy in Brittanny (France). I have small cuttings, will try it outside in a few years. Steve, I can hardly believe that our seasons overlap, I suppose your Camellia rosaeflora will wait several months before flowering? Flower buds form about half a year before they open, I think. Rogervanloon - Flanders, Zone "USDA 7b"   Rogervanloon  Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 03:34 pm EST :    Steve, By the way, as Ton said, his plant is in a greenhouse (however, in this extremely mild winter, many other camellias are now flowering outside in my garden).

So when yours start, our japonicas are finishing - there are flowering camellias at any time around the world. Rogervanloon - Flanders, Zone "USDA 7b"   Jgwoodard  My Garden Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 04:35 pm EST :    Very nice. I believe provenance is very important for determining hardiness. This would be a good reason to try japonicas from Korea for example in colder climates. Jgwoodard - TN, Zone "7"   Rogervanloon  Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 05:04 pm EST :    Yes but I do not think that camellias from sea level in Korea would be hardier that those from higher up in Japan Rogervanloon - Flanders, Zone "USDA 7b"   Takeuchi  Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 06:14 am EST :    Hello Roger san and Ton san I first meet you both here. I am keeping a C.rosaeflora in my garden from when I was a young man. It makes only one seed in each one fruit very seldom. As far as my experience it can not be crossed to other camellia cultivars originated from C.japonica. If it crossed to "Night Leider" or "Kurotsubaki", I think its wonderful.

I forgot to put a picture.

I would love to have such a wonderful camellia of that size in my garden. Fantastic! Heathergirl - County Durham, Zone "8"   Heathergirl  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 07:17 am EST :    Sorry Hiroshi, I didn't spell your name correctly before. It is nice to see another camellia/clematis admirer. Heathergirl - County Durham, Zone "8"   Malgorzata  My Garden Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 09:10 am EST :    Welcome back Takeuchi-san! Your Camellias are stunning BUT the endless pots of your Clematis are incredible! I do hope all went well with repotting this season. Malgorzata - Fukuoka-Kyushu, Zone "8/9"   Ton_hannink  My Garden Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 12:15 pm EST :    Takeuchi-san, you have a very beautiful roseaflora but I see you have more interesting Camellia's. What a lot of pots. Are this camellia or clematis or???? Ton_hannink The Netherlands   Takeuchi  Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2007 - 01:09 am EST :    Hello, Jane san,Malgorzata san, Ton san Thank you for giving me replies. It is the best season to admire camellias. Please let me put the company of camellia lovers just as at the topic of clematis. I showed you my narrow garden without knowing it. It is as narrow as cat's forehead, narrower than handkerchief for European. Though I have another small garden on a hill side about two hours drive from here, I have no surplus time to go there. The pots you see under the camellias are miscellaneous but mainly clematis. Takeuchi - Saitama-Ken, Zone "8b~9a"
