Allgemeines • Preface • Remarques

Darlow's Enigma ist eine Fundrose aus den USA. Ob sie ein Zufallssämling oder mit einer anderen Rose identisch ist, wird diskutiert. Ähnlichkeiten sollen bestehen mit Snowstorm (1907) oder Cascadia (vor 1922). Die Rosenfreundin und langjährige Rosensammlerin Cassandra Bernstein aus Kalifornien, sagte hierzu 2008 in einem Forenbeitrag: "The possibility that "Darlow's Enigma" is Captain Thomas's 'Cascadia' has been repeated to me by several sources, some of whom credit the attribution to Mike Darlow himself. An experienced and capable rosarian from Portland, Oregon, gave me this version: "Interestingly enough, several years ago, more like 30 to be exact, I was visiting a rose lover in Eugene who had a white mountain covering the entire fence. Identical to DE, he told me then the rose was there for years, his grandmother planted [it], and he thought it was called "Cascades" or "Cascading" because of the way it draped itself around things. I looked high and low for a rose by that name, and of course I could not find anywhere anything remotely close to what he was talking about.... I mentioned [this to a nurseryman] some years back this after I tried unsuccessfully to find the farm where I first saw that rose, and he said the original one that Mike Darlow took his cuttings from came from somewhere in the Willamette Valley, either from Salem or Eugene or the close vicinity. Now, roses in Oregon develop their own brand of "sturdiness" if you please. If the anecdotal references are even mildly correct, that rose lived in Oregon for some 100 [?70] years at least. The "trunk" of the one I saw way back in 1970something was clearly about 5 inches in caliper, thick as a young lemon tree's trunk, with tons of clearly unattended canes flying in all directions of assorted and larger and smaller diameters. Without exaggerating it was a veritable mount of roses. I must add that I did not detect anything but a very faint fragrance, and since ours once in a while has a waft that kills you but more often than not is just a pleasant, nothing to write home about fragrance, I would suspect by all physical aspects that we are talking about the same rose here". Cass Bernstein.


Darlow's Enigma is a found rose from the USA. A hasard seedling similar to another rose is still discussed. There seem to be some similarities with Snowstorm (1907) or Cascadia (before 1922). The rose lover and long-term rose collector Cassandra Darlow's meant during a 28 discussion forum: "The possibility that "Darlow's Enigma" is Captain Thomas's 'Cascadia' has been repeated to me by several sources, some of whom credit the attribution to Mike Darlow himself. An experienced and capable rosarian from Portland, Oregon, gave me this version: "Interestingly enough, several years ago, more like 30 to be exact, I was visiting a rose lover in Eugene who had a white mountain covering the entire fence.

Darlow's Enigma est un rosier découvert aux Etats-Unis. S'il s'agit d'un semis dû au haserd ou d'un rosier semblable à d'autres est toujours discuté. Il y aurait des similarités avec Snowstorm (1907) ou Cascadia (d'avant 1922). L'amie des roses et grande collectioneuse Cassandra Bernstein de Californoe disait lors d'un forum en 2008: "The possibility that "Darlow's Enigma" is Captain Thomas's 'Cascadia' has been repeated to me by several sources, some of whom credit the attribution to Mike Darlow himself.
