Old Roses for pots - teas or Chinas

I'm putting together mixed pots for some roses this year -- my little collection of crimson and dark-red fragrant hybrid teas. I'm using only annuals as companions in these pots because I don't want anything "taking over". The roses will be the "thrillers" and I'll pick tame annuals for the "fillers and spillers." I found faux barrel planters (made of resin) at Home Depot for $20 each. They're 22 1/2 inches across at the top and about the same height, narrowing at the base to about 12 inches diameter. If you go to their website you can see what I mean. :-) ~Christopher

nastiest rose I have EVER seen.

My Abe Darby has a sweet fruity smell but my soil is alkaline. Glamis castle was very bad smelling indeed and thorny and runty. I wanted Jaques Cartier to grow for me so much but every spring the frosting pink flowers had great big proliferations in each center. It broke my heart. It was not the nastiest rose ever, but it was the most disappointing along with the semi double orange I received instead of Heaven on Earth. Someone said to try patience and see if it would outgrow it, but it never gave me anything but the scrawny orange flowers. Finally, I gave up. Usually my SdLM is looking fine, but in the wet year of 2012, it looked wretched indeed and I wouldn't like to live with it if it was always like that. Same goes for Madame Issac P.

Oops! What I meant to say in my last post is this: This is not the same rose as the other picture. The fragrance and leaves are both very different. Size of the bush was also very different. This bush was small (although it could have been cut back)

Jim, I think you might as well cross Marie Daly off your list. I'm about two towns south of you on the Peninsula so my conditions are similar to yours, including the alkaline soil. I grow Marie Pavie here. While it is a wonderful plant in many ways, it does get mild chlorosis. It also wants to be about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, so it is a bigger plant than you have in mind. From what I understand, Marie Daly is just like its sport parent except in color. I also suggest that you stick to annual rather than perennial salvias as your filler plants. The perennials ones will be more difficult to remove once your roses get some size on them. I went down that same path a few years ago. There are a number of lovely drought tolerant annuals that will fill in nicely for you, and can be eliminated later once you no longer need them. Short lived perennials like lavenders and thyme can work, too. I'd keep away from aggressive selfseeders. They can become weeds. An example is nigella, love-in-the-mist, which self sews aggressively all over the place here. And beware artemisias. Some are thugs that spread by underground roots.

I'd say it looks like Madame Gregoire Staechelin, also called "Spanish Beauty", which has huge, nodding, otherworldly flowers in Spring. I have seen it growing in San Diego. The one pictured on the linked photo is from an old Garden Web post by 'Drhuey' in Australia on a thread entitled "The Most Beautiful Rose in the World. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/rosesant/msg011229121154.html
The same picture is posted on help-me-find.

Very lovely, a dream rose.

At least two climbing roses, pink, no-known-name, have been found in the Lijiang area. Both are lovely. I think one "Lijiang Road" is remontant. "Phillips & Rix Cl. China," which can be seen in the Sacramento [CA] City Cemetery, is not remontant.

You might look up Phillips & Rix book, THE QUEST FOR THE ROSE.

Jeri, I don't think we can assume garden plants in China are indigenous.

Did I say I was assuming the roses in question were indigenous? I said that roses with a similar look have been found in that area, and brought to the west.

I suggest reading Phillips & Rix, and catching up on some of that research.

There are many, many things about roses that we won't know until DNA testing becomes more available.
