I also looked at the various types of donut peaches that OGW offers, and I hope my mystery peach is a saturn, too! My peach has pink flowers, which rules out it being a galaxy peach. It sounds delicioous, and it has red leaves, which I think would look pretty, and would make a nice symmetry to the red-leafed hollywood plum I have on the other side of my yard Since I don’t have much faith in their autumn roses, I think I want to try a spice zee nectaplum next year, instead. I emailed OGW again, and they added the cost of shipping on to the store credit, so at least that should be covered when I order a new tree next spring. Haha, you just sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of grafting and budding tutorials! Honestly, I don’t think I feel confident enough to try it ![]() But I was thinking that if anyone out there DOES have autumn rose peaches, maybe I could finagle a scion and try to graft it to my donut peach, so that I can at least try the autumn rose sometime in the future. This is a bit of a side-topic, but is it definitely too late to graft this year? I’ve never tried grafting before, so I don’t know. So maybe at least it won’t be a total wash. I’ll take mamauang’s advice and leave the mystery donut in to see if it’s something tasty. ![]() Which means that I’m not likely to try to order another autumn rose from OGW next year, cause I’d be too worried that I’d get another mystery tree, so no autumn roses for me Especially since it was from almost 10 years ago, and OGW apparently is still mislabeling donut peaches as autumn roses. I also think its so interesting that the ONLY other post about autumn rose peaches that I could find had the exact same problem as me. And I’m also bummed that I’ll have to pay shipping for whatever new tree I get. Which is good, I guess, but I’m bummed that I’ll be two years down the hole by the time I can order a new tree. Update! I emailed OGW, and they said that it likely is a donut peach, and they issued me a store credit for the cost of the tree. If you’ve grown autumn rose peaches, does this seem like a normal amount of curl to you? Or would it be more evidence of mislabeling? I live in SE Pennsylvania, zone 7A, if that’s helpful. But my tree has some peach leaf curl this year (not so much that I’m worried the tree or the fruits will die, but enough that I pick a handful of curled leaves off the tree every few days, just to get rid of them). ![]() Has anyone grown Autumn Rose peaches? Do the young peaches look kind of squashy? Or do you think my tree was mislabled?Īlso, I didn’t spray my peach tree in the fall, because the autumn rose is supposedly peach leaf curl resistant. In that post, though, no one else had fruited their autumn rose peaches yet, and no one had posted any pictures to the post, so it didn’t help me find out whether my peaches were mislabeled or not. So I tried to google autumn rose peaches, to see if this is just how they normally look, and the only thing I could find was an old Houzz post from about a decade ago ( ) where the poster ALSO thought her autumn rose peaches were mislabeled donut peaches. They look more like they might be donut peaches? It leafed out nicely this spring, and has some small peaches on it already, which is very exciting! But, the tiny fruits are kind of squashy, and don’t look like “normal” peaches. I purchased a bare-root Autumn Rose Peach from OGW in March 2020.
