The only one I had was Hermosa, and she never did take off for me. She remained wimpy with not many blooms for about 3 years before I replaced her. She may not have like the heat in Oklahoma.

Baccara; a good red hybrid tea, not as dark as Black Baccara. They both have light fragrance even if HMF says "no fragrance". My best red hybrid tea the last years have been Burgund 81, noticeable fragrance and the plants are still healthy and look good after 6 years. Ingrid Bergman is not bad either.

Bouquet Parfait, very winterhardy and lots of flowers all summer, about 3-4 feet tall with some spring pruning.

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer; not the easiest rugosahybrid, upright growth, two good flushes a year, very good fragrance unlike Hansa, not typical rugosa. I have to fuzz a bit with the soil and amendments to keep it healthy. Can get blackspot.

Excellenz von Schubert, lots of small flowers, repeats, and if I remember correctly gets tiny small orange hips in autumn. Needs support some times, at least if you don't want the canes to bend to the ground.

Climbing Souvenir de la Malmaison. A good climber where winters are mild and summers are warm and long. Not very winter hardy. In spite of its reputation it does repeat flower under the right conditions, but can become a once bloomer where growing season is short.

Mme Gregoire Staechlin, once bloomer, frost damage in some years, lots of hips in fall.

Souvenir du Docteur Jamain: winter hardy, very good fragrance, dark red flowers. Up a against a wall it has reached 9 feet here, but as a shrub only 3-4 feet. Healthy plant and reliable remontancy.

The others I don't know, good luck with your rose search :-)

I've read on previous threads that Cl. SdlM is not nearly as good as the bush in terms of rebloom but have no personal experience with it. I had Excellenz von Schubert and loved the color but rebloom also was not great for me. It may do better in a more humid and perhaps cooler climate.

Climbing SdlM---not nearly the quality of the original, weedy, blooms ball like crazy, no rebloom in the hot Texas summers. There are too many other good climbers so much better than this one.
Hermosa---wimpy, a good spring flush, then not much else. The sort of rose that just doesn't appeal to me, very bland.

Vettin,

I grow most of these, and I can comment on some of them, if a variety is too young to comment on, I will indicate it:

Baccara- don't grow
Bouquet Parfait- very small 3-4 hours of shade, good bs resistance so far, accidentally mowed it because it is in a patch of vinca
Condrad Ferdinand Meyer - don't grow
Excellenz von Schubert- good resistance to bs, does better in full sun
Field of Woods- very small, so far good resistance to bs, full sun
Hermosa- BS nightmare, I dug it up this week...you want it?
Cl Sdlm- fair BS resistance, some rebloom, does NOT ball for me....yet, but it does lose entire canes.
Mme Gregoire Staechlin- totally defoliates, wonderful spring bloom, I am growing Paul Transon over it to cover up the nakedness...I think that MGS will bloom before PT
Souv du Dr. Jamain- too small to judge..does not want to take off in my yard

Madame Greg - one of my all time faves-gorgeous 6 week season of lovely fragrant (sweet peas/lily of valley)blooms and delicious foliage too. Great autumn heps, can get the oceassional touch of rust but never seems bothered by it. V.Vigorous.

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer; fair shade tolerance, good scent, decent repeat. Gets very tall and thorns are wicked so watch where you put it!

Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Musings

Thank you for the feedback. If you had to rank them for shade tolerance would you agree with the below:

Most shade tolerant
Mme Greg Staechlin
Souv du Dr. Jamain

3-4 hours of shade
Bouquet Parfait
Condrad Ferdinand Meyer

Full sun:
Excellenz von Schubert
Field of Woods

No idea:
Hermosa
Cl Sdlm
Baccara

Thank you!

You might be right there Vettin. I would place Baccara or any hybrid tea in at least 6 hours of sun. I don't know exactly what you mean by 3-4 hours of shade, but you can safely try any rose if it gets about 6 hours of direct sun or more. Some rose take partly / wandering shade all day pretty well. Full shade from a wall all day is not good for any rose. I suspect many of the Baccaras sold these days really are Black Baccara, even if the tag only says Baccara.

With less than full sun, I believe you must spray Souvenir du Dr. Jamain with fungicide, or he will be completely bald in fairly short order. Even with more sun, he is really susceptible to blackspot. His beautiful black-red flowers are worth the effort!

Hey there Vettin, my Fields of the Woods is three years old (Countryside) with no BS. Its growing like a wild octopus out of control -- this is a rose that will need frequent trimming during the growing season and serious pruning in spring. It wants to bloom all summer and the blooms are divine. I can't smell it, but I don't smell most roses. If you want cuttings, mine is big enough to chop LOL.

You could, instead of cl SdlM go with Sombrieul (large flowered climber)

I grow Bouquet Parfait, mine is getting maybe 6 hours of sun if not less (late afternoon till sunset, with some shade from the tree moving past at some point). Does not seem to be bothered by it, does not seem to get any disease so far, blooms really pretty, overall good easy rose for me.

I grow three of those.

Field of Woods - I am growing Rhode Island Red which some say is the same rose as FOthW. Mine is healthy and repeat bloom pretty good on a plant that is still young and small. Mine is in part-shade. Light fragrance.

Cl Sdlm - Gets quite a bit of BS. Long 10-12' canes. Some repeat bloom though not as much as the bush form, mine does not have a problem with balling usually. Great fragrance.

Souv du Dr. Jamain - Gets moderate BS, though not as bad as SDLM. Mine has little or no repeat bloom. Canes about 8' long. Really love the flowers though they will crisp and turn black with too much sun. Mine gets afternoon shade but the blooms still crisp in a couple of days sometimes. Moderate fragrance.
