Susan, I have the tea-nosiette Pleasant Hill Cemetery that might work. It's been one of my cleanest roses (no spray), always has a bloom or two, has been a robust grower and has very, very pliable canes. This spring the poor thing was still a baby and I hadn't gotten it trained on anything and it was just a heap on the ground covered in small to medium sweet white blooms. I read somewhere that is is extremely easy to root and considering what a pathetic stick it was when it arrived and how it then took off I believe it. You're more than welcome to come down to Franklin and take a cutting of it you want. Here's Vintage's write up on it: Here is a link that might be useful: PHC at Vintage

My first post on gardenweb. Bought one of these at Al's Garden Center. It looked like a pretty nice rose to have survived to be among roses nobody wanted selling at 50% off in November. it still had a couple flowers on it and their color matches the picture. Based on people's comments I won't be shocked if the color is a bit different in its new home. I got this to solve my "too much pink" problem. I had a Love Song Rose, a couple of Encore Autumn Royalty Azaleas, and a Chansonette Camellia all in the same general area. In November, the rose and azalea still had flowers and the Chansonette was already in bloom. This created a big blob of pink to lavender color in a contiguous area which I found unattractive. (I have concluded that a rather unaesthetic arrangement of flowers is to have similar but slightly different color flowers in close proximity, with it being even worse if they are different species. I planted this rose in place of one of the Azaleas and my hope is it will do a good job of breaking up that "big blob of pink-lavender" effect in that part of the garden, while still being a color that doesn't clash with those others. It might not have been much of an issue in future years because I suspect roses and azaleas don't typically still have flowers this late in the year, and the Chansonette is brand new and I think it is blooming prematurely due to being on an earlier blooming cycle at the nursery it was grown at than when it would normally bloom here (Some evidence for that is the fact that I planted one Marge Miller Camellia in spring, one just recently, and the one I just planted has almost completed blooming while the one I planted earlier, which I presume has had time to acclimatize to the blooming cycle where I live, is only beginning to bloom now). But in case all these flowers do overlap again in some future years then planting the Night Owl should address the pink blob problem. I knew nothing about the rose when I bought it, but I am pleased to learn that it is a rebloomer. I see that this rose is supposed to grow tall (8-10 foot) canes. It will be taller than the flowers around it, but I think that will add some appealing texture to the garden.

Jess---I love VQ and she does repeat bloom all summer---However---my yard is so shady that I can't be a good judge of the size of roses. I do think Clair Matin repeats very well------ I like both of these roses--- Thanks Your Iris gal-------I think the two pictures I posted of VQ are a good example of her lovely blooms--I'm happy you like her.

It was a healthy, tall plant. There were a couple of rose society members that were looking for a Night Owl rose, so I'm happy it will go to a good, new garden home. I'm replacing it with a Black Magic rose that will get nice and tall. I'm hoping the thick petals will take the heat. I wanted to still have a red rose for that spot.
