best climate in the U.S. for Roses???
Comments (35)Iowa is not the best either. I think we have every rose enemy, blackspot, powdery mildew, RRD, occasional spider mites, Japanese Beetles, crown gall, I am sure others too. Gardeners seem to admire someone who can grow clean looking roses, because most people can't do it. So if you are looking for a challenging environment, try Iowa. My parents are now in Arizona, and in the spring time their roses look great, and are tall with lots of flowers, and no diseases. They have a drip system for watering. My sister in Colorado Springs probably has an almost ideal environment. It is not humid. The summers are not as warm. They do not have disease issues like we do here. They might have critter issues, esp. deer. But you need to water, and she doesn't, and the roses I have seen there in mid-summer are disease free, and flower free. Regular watering would turn that around....See MoreBest Austin roses for Northern California/Orinda area
Comments (6)Thanks for the information--I'm also comparing with what they say in the Austin catalog, which is that Ambridge rose, Carding Mill, The Alnwick Rose and Winchester Cathedral all end up on their hot/dry climate rose list and Sharifa Asma is on their hot/humid list. I'm finding this hard to believe for Alnwick rose though, since these blooms seem to wilt in the heat of my St. Louis garden. I see someone in Texas has had good success with Scepter'd Isle and Ambridge rose also I wanted to get one of the smaller ones Austin sells as a container plant rather than bare root, since it will be a gift and my friend may want to keep it potted for a while. I'm tending to think given the color scheme they have in their yard that he'd like a white/cream or pale pink one, maybe: Scepter'd Isle Eglantyne Sharifa Asma Winchester Cathedral. Let me know if you have any opinions/info about any of these....See MoreBest orange-color rose for coastal San Diego climate
Comments (11)Thank you so much, Hoovb. I am truly grateful. Does your EDI fades to pink? What else, on your opinion, would look good between HC and Strike it Rich? Also, the flower bed gets all day hot-hot sun. I thought about Chihuly but I already have it planted in the opposite flower bed. It is really important about the mildew and rust resistance. After years of trying...a week ago I had to get rid of Gypsy and another rose that were truly complementing my Julia C. So now she is looking for new friends too. I spent days on Internet trying to decideðÂÂÂ. Please help! Overall, what would be of your rust and mildew-free roses? I am 5 miles from the ocean.

Comments (7)Joyce Barden purchased maybe 8 years ago? Or whenever it came out. I've started cuttings that grew into 8 ft roses after I got that. It's about a foot tall, had one bloom, won't grow. Next to it are three roses that were rooted cuttings, so it's not my soil or my care. I forgot about it until this thread - it's hidden by some coreopsis now. It's coming out in the next few months. Too bad because I wanted to like it but trying to grow it all those years has been a waste. It seems like a six month old cutting. Don't remember where I got it, may have been Roses Unlimited but it is the only rose that I've had that kind of trouble with from anywhere....See MoreBenT (NorCal 9B Sunset 14)
