Patrick, you'll like Salet. She makes a very attractive shrub. No nekkid legs on her.

I've been thinking about Chevy Chase-----I really want a dark red rambler and I've seen some great pictures of this beauty.

Florence

Florence you are going to love Chevy Chase!

I do not have such a long list this year:

Rose de Rescht
Rose du Roi (of commmerce
Rose du Roi (original)
Angèle Pernet

You are all lucky you can plant in the fall. By the time the vendors ship, it is too cold to plant here and the roots don't have enough time to get established before the ground freezes.

no orders this fall - will be too busy recovering from next (and I hope FINAL!) surgery to plant... but boy howdy! Next year is going to be the YEAR OF PAGAN!!! (Again!!!) As long as nothing else falls on me, I should be good to go! (I have a friend who swears there is a meteorite floating around in space with my name on it...)

Veilchen I won't be able to plant out this year - I don't think - who knows with Denver weather but as long as the ground isn't frozen I will probably be planting. My bands from Vintage will go into the Pot Ghetto in the "hot spot" in the yard. One of the nice things about dating a Colorado Master Gardner is he is totally into "zone pushing" and microclimates. I plan to suck knowledge out of him as fast as I can.

Gah! With the hoardes I still have living on the porch, I can't even THINK about ordering anything! I'll wait to see what Palatine and Wisconsin Roses has for their offerings next year, and MAYBE another try at Lady Emma Hamilton. MAYBE.

Belinda's Dream is a very fine rose and gets better and better each season. Here the flowers get ruined by rain though, but since we don't get much rain, it's ok.

I'm going the homemade route...
I visited Jerome's garden and got cuttings of:

Souvenir de Pierre Notting
Etoile de Lyon
Yolande de Aragon
Mrs B R Cant

The Clementina Carbonieri and Madame Lambard cuttings I got in April are well rooted and growing...waiting for flowers to see who is who. I've still got 'Old Port' and 'Catalonia' from last fall (Vintage) in pots--neither has grown very much. The ones I order in fall never seem to do as well as the ones from springtime.

Okay My list is very short - but if I had the land...
This year -
Distant Drums
Felicia
St. Patrick
Next Year -
Mardi Gras

Patrick you will love Salet, but do be aware that with the own root version it does like to sucker some. Otherwise no fall rose planting here. Only thing left to do garden wise will be to pick up my std winter planting of Johnny jump ups and a mum for the porch.

This is the first fall in many years that I have not ordered roses. I will be doling out, shovel-pruning roses and perhaps relocating myself. Yes, necessity is the mother of mobility. Have fun ordering. It is great to get babies and see them grow.

I actually already have SALET. Liked the one that I got this spring so much that I wanted another one. The fragrance is incredible! I'm also tempted into getting another VIKING QUEEN but that would mean sacrificing one of my HERITAGE climbers. Oh the agony of a small yard. I've got no sunny spaces left. I finally got up the gumption to shovel prune the Empereur du Maroc so that is where the next SALET is going. One of my "Tradescants" actually turned out to be a scentless L.D. Braithwaite so it got shovel pruned and PARADISE will be replacing it in the Twilight's Bower experiment bed.

Rob has promised me that we will get enough tax return money next year to afford getting the big oak in the back yard cut down. Of course he has promised me this before so hopefully he'll keep his word this time. Removal of the tree should flood the yard with sunlight and allow for the creation of new flower beds. Right now it is all grass and hostas ... yeah, it is that bad.

Never thought in a million years that I'd look forward to another tax season. LOL!

I just placed an order today from Rogue Valley. I hadn't really planned to but they had a couple roses that I've wanted that I couldn't find anywhere else and then of course, I had to add a few more. So, here's what I ordered:

Old Port (Floribunda)
Wimi (Tantau HT)
Sydonie
Felicite Parmentier
Tiffany
Francesca

I'm pretty excited. I also plan to put an order in to Pickering next month for the spring. My order will most likely include Gloire des Mousseux, Comte de Chambord and Charles de Mills.

Shelley, who needs to get out there and start digging more holes!

From Vintage:
Rose du Roi - original
Baronne Prevost
Indigo
Duc de Bragance
Francois Coppee
Ardoisee de Lyon
and 2 hydrangeas, Integrifolia and Radiant

already awaiting planting:
Autumn Damask
Chestnut Rose
Clothilde Soupert (enabled by you Patrick)
Mrs. Dudley Cross

and have rooted and need to grow out some before planting:
Mons. Tillier
E. Veyrat Hermanos

And from this spring, still in pots, but need planting:
Duchess de Brabant
Fantin Latour
Marchesa Bocella

Need to shovel prune Falstaff, Othello, Geoff Hamilton to make room for some of the above. Several agapanthus will be meeting the shovel as well.

Molineux may I ask a question? You ordered from ARE..,who is that? My rose orders have been pretty simple up to this point.

For next spring I have ordered so far:

3 Distant Drums (Roses Unlimited)
Canary Bird (Hortico)
And we plan to put in a KO hedge. Not sure where I will buy those from yet.

I would like to order a red/dark colored rose but cannot decide between Tradescant, Braveheart or another Night Owl. Decisions:)

ARE = The Antique Rose Emporium

Here is a link that might be useful: The Antique Rose Emporium

Thank you. I will check that out.

Kate

Hmm, my fall order has been some grapevines, some heirloom bulbs, a couple of small hybrangeas, and soon, several fruit trees: mulberry, pomegranate, persimmon, a second apricot, and a second plum. I'm considering a chestnut, a walnut, and another valley oak for the field beyond the fence. Any roses? Well one, a replacement Violette. I want to move it to a better location and I need a back up plant. This is my favorite of the purple multiflora ramblers. I almost forgot, I ordered a Vick's Caprice from ARE earlier this summer for fall delivery, so I guess the answer is really two roses, one new to me.

The big

Just 1 Deuil de Dr Reynaud...from Rogue Valley Roses..have to move half my roses around to fit this 1 in

Patrick, your MIL will love her Marie Daley. It performs even better than Marie Pavie for me, and has the same fantastic fragrance. And you are a good son, to give your mom Duchesse de Brabant, one of the finest, and the best smelling tea to me.

Randy

you all appear to have shown commendable restraint.
Although I am not ordering for fall, I do have orders in for Spring (mostly 2008), and would appreciate any comments/insights thereon (most in part shade, except as noted):

Thanks.

George

George:
Frederic Mistral is a BS disaster at the Jersey shore but the flower is beautiful to see and smell. Autumn Sunset is just the opposite - disease free and a lovely flower, not so much of a rebloom this year. Good luck!

This is somewhat of a surprise, as the Frederic Mistral was a recommendation of the Del-Chester rose society as being highly blackspot resistant; thought as I am adjacent it might also work for me; they also recommend Autumn Sunset & Westerland, so I guess we'll see what happens next year.

Thanks for the feedback!

George

Labrea, I rearranged half my garden to give DdDr Reynaud proper space. For this rose, it is worth it.

Rosefolly

I just got Deuil de Dr. Reynaud and Madame Ernest Calvat into the ground. Early September, I am expecting Madame Isaac Pereire and Francis Dubreuil to arrive and join MEC under the high shade of the honey locust trees. Also coming are 2 SDLMs to frame the front door, and English roses Golden Celebration and Heritage for the northeast side of the house. I can hardly wait! I could do more, but my wife wants me to rein in my new rose obsession a bit...

I'd just gotten Golden Celebration this Spring; nice first flush, leaf loss in Summer (I guess this is common?), but it has bounced back. The leaves now are all green, and there are at least 3 more roses coming on.

Nice to know SDLM was an option for you; I've ordered for next year (SDLM rouge). Same for Deuil de Dr. Reynaud. Same for MIP. Am thinking about a Desprez a Fleur Jaune, but hear differing accounts on its hardiness. If it would work (say in 2 or 3 years), I'd like to grow it climbing into my Japanese Raisin tree. Maybe global warming will be enough by then.
