Since I had already ordered roses from Chamblees and Ashdown, unfortunately I had to limit my order from Vintage. Here is what I did order:

Duchesse de Brabant
Ballerina
Felicia
Tutta's Pink Noisette

If nothing else, I had to order the last one because of the name. If it does as well as "Natchitoches Noisette", then it will be a jewel.

I already have a Ballerina but since it is the rose that made me want to grow roses (after disappointment with HT's), it's a favorite. I'll be planting this one in a shadier position to compare it to the one I have in full sun. About 6 years ago I ordered 2 Ballerinas from David Austin and they looked nothing like the one I have now. So it will be interesting, too, to see if Vintage's Ballerina looks different.

I don't grow MT but Maggie is doing quite well for me. Last year was her first year in the ground after spending two years in a pot. I don't recall her balling in the spring and her summer displays were lovely. She was blooming right up to the first hard frost. She's about four feet tall now. I would recommend her. I sp'd a very vigorous CL. Maman Cochet because every bloom balled. She was stingy with her repeat so I got rid of her.

Final Last Vintage Order

Thank you very much Harbor I really love that one, I could easy pick out 3 other ramblers, but I don't think I have the space they need with the ones I already have growing. Even my "short list" of antiques I want for the lower garden I really have to cull some because there are more than I want than I space for with out removing the hedge. It is not that I love the hedge, but truthfully, maybe it is foolish to remove an edible hedge that is probably antique itself that needs no water for roses.

Those look good, but we need to know which ones you got so we can either be jealous or decide we have to have one of those too, and go buy our own. ;^)

Bluegirl -- Your memory of the bush form of 'Shot Silk' as not being "real robust" is accurate. The bush form of SS on its own roots never is. Given your zone 8 environment, consider growing it in a container and giving it some protection from full sun during the mid-day to afternoon hours. If you can provide that protection, the plant will be much happier and its unique coloration will be much better (and last longer). The bush form of SS is something of a wimp (in my experience). The climber, however, is quite robust -- altho it also suffers if given too much intense sunlight in zones like yours and mine.

I ordered a Pernetiana that I've been hoping would make it onto the Available list (and now it has) Angels Mateu. Also, I ordered Betty, the little HT from 1905. These are both small, so, hopefully, there will be a little room for them. I've been looking at the Pernetianas for a while now, but most of them were on the Custom Root list. Yesterday, the names of several appeared on the Available list (although I had pretty much made up my mind to ask for a custom root of one of them). To my delight, the one I most wanted, Angels Mateu, was available! (Actually, there were several that I would loved to have had, but my balcony would simply not accommodate them.) Then, Betty had always had my fancy from the catalog, and it sounds as though it might not be something that would be available elsewhere.

I ordered these yesterday, and now this morning read Anita's post, which has such a great idea - this is a way I can help out even though I don't have any space to buy more roses.

By the way, I have a feeling, from a few posts that I have read on the forum, that the Pernetianas may not be the easiest roses to grow. If anybody has advice about caring for them, I would be grateful.

Thanks, Laura
