Most Fragrant.....with disease resistance
Comments (7)In my no-spray garden (where blackspot is the main problem) Belinda's Dream does well. It has a nice bush form, big flowers, and a lot of fragrance. Big pink flowers that you can smell just as you walk by. It gets a little bit of blackspot here but not enough to stop it from pumping out the roses. Mine's own-root and bulked up fast. Elle is beautiful, too. Big pink blooms blended with yellow. It is only in it's 2nd year for me and gets a bit of blackspot, but blooms a lot, has a nice bushy shape and great fragrance. Mine is grafted but had no trouble over-wintering without protection here, didn't lose any canes and is filling out really nicely. Heritage stays healthy for me and blooms in big fragrant clusters, nice BIG bush form, though your sister might not think the individual flowers are big enough. I don't think it's easy to find shrubs that have big fragrant flowers, and thrive in a no spray garden. I'll be interested to see what other people recommend. Jean's no-spray list has always seemed like a great starting point, if you can pull it up with a search....See MoreMost disease resistant roses for hot and humid
Comments (39)I know this is an old thread but its been very good and useful so I thought I'd chime in. All the roses i recommend have been mentioned here but I live very close to you in Zone 10 Florida so I thought I'd let you know what has worked in my garden. I have over 50 roses and my best performer is by far Belinda's Dream (you probably have it by now, if not, get it!). Always in bloom all year round, doesn't mind heat/humidity or rain has perfectly formed blooms AND its fragrant. It has it all! One of my other good performers so far have been some Ausitns. My BEST bloomer is Huntington rose, but it does get black spot a bit. I don't spray her so i just prune her a bit after every other flush and she keeps bouncing back. Queen of Sweden has been excellent. Not as big a bloomer as Huntington but NO black spot at all. She does grow TALL though (huntington grows WIDE), So Far she has stayed very narrow and tall. Jubilee celebration has done well but she is too new to tell if she'll get through the rainy season without too much BS. Wollerton Old Hall, great fragrance great BS resistance but bloom color is not my cup of tea (kind of a tan/beige). Alnwick rose has done well too as well as Abraham Darby (tried and true). All my Austins are in planters though, none in the ground. As for HT roses my best performers have been Mr. Lincoln, Olympiad (very good), Gold Medal (also very good), Queen Elizabeth (kind of gangly but blooms alot), iceberg and brilliant pink iceberg are great but grow wide, not tall (they stay short though). Pretty much all my HT get some black spot in the rainy season but i just trim them come fall and they do well all the way until the following May. If you are looking for a more bushy rose try the new KORDES varieties. I have had ABSOLUTELY no black spot on Lion's Fairy Tale and Mandarin Ice, and I hear all the Fairy Tales are just as good as lions. I'm getting a few more this year from that series. OH also don't forget BUCKS roses. Superb! I have Polonaise and Golden Princess and both are great with BS (very very little) but by far the best one has been Quietness! She has NO BS and beautiful fragrant blooms. Very Fragrant! Some roses to stay away from would be Oklahoma, Double delight (every one raves about her but she's a BS magnet in my garden) Angle Face (same). Cherish (love her blooms but same BS issues). I grow most of my roses in planters so you may need to see if you can find any of these on Fortuniana RS. I highly recommend the Kordes ones though, they have really thrived own root with NO disease they stand out like champs. They almost don't even look like rose bushes they are so leafy. Duchess du Brabant has been another good one. She does get a little BS but she seems to shake it off quickly. I just also got Rosette DeLizzy and clotilde soupert but they are still babies so too soon to tell. Good luck and let me know what does well in your garden!...See MorePlease list your most disease resistant roses..
Comments (29)I don't know if Chinas and Noisettes grow as far north as you seem to be, but my Louis Philippe, Ducher, Spice, Champney's Pink Cluster, Old Blush, Prosperity also my Kordes and Drift roses all survived last summer with no BS, no Chili-thrips, and no Canker...which killed off most of my HTs and Modern roses.... I am getting more Drift and Kordes, and also Biltmore roses, to see how resistant they are.....seems the newer roses are being bred better than some of the older ones....sally...See MoreMost Disease Resistant Mini???
Comments (8)I have a Hilde... It sat near black spot infested roses without contracting the disease [not sprayed]. Beautiful rose, too -- light red with hints of white near the center, dark foliage. It can also be dark pink in color. Has a nice scent. Tough little rose, though. Grows and blooms like crazy. Will bloom within 3wks of sprouting spring growth and continue to bloom until frost. The heat doesn't effect it much either [been topping 100 here] though it sits in full sun from sunrise to about 4PM. Here's mine: Here is a link that might be useful: Hilde...See MoreSCMG
