Thanks!! :)

For zone 5, I'd suggest Warm Wishes/Sunset Celebration, as it is hardier than most.

Most fragrant red hybrid tea

Finally back to this thread I started eight years ago. Olde Romeo looks awesome, and also unavailable in the US. I have missed you all and gardening. Last year I was on assignment in San Diego, a temporary arrangement that ended on October 30th. Back at the abbey now, and for any of you who remember me, I wanted to tell you that we are moving into the new place starting on January 11-16...the end of a long journey, and the beginning of a new one. Will there be roses at the new place? Yes. Ambrose and the seminarians transplanted over 100 of the current abbey collection to the new place. I was in San Diego, and I have no idea how they transplanted some of those roses. There was a tea (Rosette Delizy) that was about 10x10 that they basically made a bare root!! It's sprouting tons of shoots at the new location. I am constantly amazed at how tough roses are. When the new garden grows in, I'll post photos for you all. Jerome

A Fragrant Bright Red Hybrid Tea?
Q
Comments (22)
I went to Otto and Son's Nursery today in Filmore, CA and checked out their red roses. There was a heatwave lately of 100+ degrees Fahrenheit, so most of the roses were looking faded. It was a good test to see which roses were looking there best. Double Delight was faded pink and white, but still pretty. Firefighter was a close distance away and was also a faded-pink, but not as pretty. I was disappointed, because I didn't think it matched very well with Saint Patrick, a greenish-yellow rose I planned on having as its companion. Right now I have Firefighter in a pot in partial shade, because it is so young, but will eventually be placed in full sun. I no longer think Firefighter is heat tolerant in my zone, but I still think it would be a good match with Double Delight in a cooler zone. Even the older blooms were fragrant. The red roses looking the best in heat were today were Grande Amore and Ingrid Bergman. The staff there said Grande Amore starts out dark red and fades to a lighter red, not pink. Ingrid Bergman was very nice and they were showcasing it at the front of the nursery. But unfortunately, there was no fragrance that I could detect.

Your best pink fragrant hybrid tea . . .
Q
Comments (16)
Hmmm, I'm assuming you and I are in the same climate and Tiffany IS my best pink fragrant hybrid tea: strongly fragrant, great disease resistance no spray, good cut flower. I don't notice that it dislikes wet weather more than others. I grow Elle, The MacCartney Rose, Secret, and Perfume Delight and while all are strongly fragrant, all have more disease problems than Tiffany, so I couldn't really recommend them for the PNW (for no or low sprayers, anyway.) Elle is the most similar to Tiffany (very similar fragrance, similar yellow interior, and better cut flower) so you might want to start with her and see how you find her to open up in the rain. (PS Her growth habit is short and spready, where Tiffany is taller and more upright.) Hope that helps! Dawn

Lavender, fragrant, Hybrid Tea
Q
Comments (13)
Hi Brenhelms. : ) I know (and really love) Moonlight Magic. I have three Moonlight Magic bushes. (Should be four, but I lost one due to winter-kill and nobody in my area was seeling it this Spring.) Among the 3 light-lavender varieites I grow, it is my top favortie - even ahead of Blue Girl. I did not suggest Moonlight Magic as an identity-candidate to Apmom99 because in my yard, Moonlight Magic's color is a bit darker than Blue Girl - and often shows some deep-lavender "blushing" on the petals' lips. Also, at least in my yard, Moonlight Magic's petal-count tends to average 8-to-10 more petals than Blue Girl's average of 40. Here's one other difference I've noticed between Blue Girl and Moonlight Magic. It's in their behavior as a cut flower. Blue Girl tends to not open up a lot further than the bloom-stage it was in when you cut it at ...whereas a cut Moonlight Magic bloom will continue opening up (all the way to fully-open). Got any idea where I can buy a replacement for my missing "4th" Moonlight Magic? Regards, JohnReb

Whoops! Missed the high-centered part While not very fragrant at all, Garden Party is extremely faithful and healthy in my garden:

How refreshing to see your beautiful photos, Greenhaven. :-) Especially so after my rude neighbors kept me up 'til 3:00 am last night with yet another LOUD!!! party. :-( Wish they'd move . How's a gal supposed to have any energy left for gardening, sigh . . . .

Thanks, Mike! :-)

I don't know how hardy it is in your zone, but Double Delight ranks very high on my list!

Fragrant Cloud is another favorite, but I realize it has a flower color you will probably either love or hate. Few are agnostic about Fragrant Cloud. (I also don't know if Fragrant Cloud would be hardy for you.)

Tropicana is fragrant. Again with the color. I love the cheerful, bright orange.

Mr. Lincoln is famous for fragrance, and puts out large blooms when it gets enough water.

Heirloom Gardens has a section of their catalogue and website devoted to very fragrant HTs.
