Jacques Cartier is a portland, very healthy, good repeat, fragrance and tolerate rain much better than Comte de Chambord. Modern or old roses this is a very good rose, I promise :-) Gruss an Archen is very worth planting, old rose form but with genes from hybrid teas and hybrid perpetuals. There is a yellow rose Candlelight (Tantau 2001), very healthy, shiny dark green leafs, very fragrant with full, large flat flowers. It is something between a shrub and a hybrid tea in form, very shapely, grows rather large, 3 feet with some pruning in spring. Blooms nonstop no matter what the weather is like. I also like Clair Renaissance and Helena Renaissance from the Danish breeder Poulsen. There are several Renaissance roses to check out.

Nat, I don't mean to throw a monkey wrench into your list but I took out Ducher because I could not keep black spot off of it. Thrips loved it and so did the Japanese beetles. It was an underperformer for me, here in Atlanta. Others love it, so thatÂs just my experience. Gruss An Aachen is a great rose but he needs to be sprayed here if you want him to look good--if not, you're going to see a lot more cane. BUT, he does respond well to occasional spraying and he does bloom even when I let him get spotty. BelindaÂs Dream is also nice but does better with some spray. BTW, her blooms are much larger and more impressive in the cooler weather of the spring and fall. Of the ones youÂve listed, Marie Daly is the most disease resistant and has the most continual bloom. The fragrance also carries on the breezeÂwhich I really like. SdLM is another great rose. Mine does get some BS but with a little shot of anti-fungal spray every now and then, she does well. The blooms are beautiful and smell great. Neither SdLM or MD are very large, thoughÂboth maybe 3.5 to 4 feet tall and wide. What about Duchesse de Brabant? SheÂs on JeanÂs list that you mentioned and she made the Earthkind list in Texas. She has beautiful pink blooms that smell like raspberries to me. Mine is taller than wide but I've heard others report that their DdB are larger. I just went out and would call mine "lightly thorny". Although she does have some thorns, it seems like way less than others like her neighbor, Buff Beauty. Hope this information helps. Here is a link that might be useful: Duchesse de Brabant

I've never seen anything quite like Aloha, but having been so impressed by the many Aloha plants I have seen that are probably 30-45 years old, I have read what I can about it's relatives. I don't think any of it's offspring quite compare, but look here at a list of other 1st generation New DAwn seedlings: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?grpLst=1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10&grpLst=1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10&l=1.4460&tab=21&lstTyp=256&grp%5B1%5D=1 maybe I can just copy the list, but if you want to see the photos, either try the link or find New Dawn on helpmefind and look at the first generation descendents. They also have 2nd, 3rd, etc generation lists. Actually, some of these are 2nd generation, as you will see if you look them up. 32-9201 (Boerner) Aëlita Aloha (LCl, Boerner, 1949) Armada ® Autumn Bouquet Awakening Bantry Bay ® Beverly Jayne Blossom Time Blossomtime Cadenza Casa Blanca (large flowered climber, Sima 1968) Cherryade City of London ® Coral Satin Dawning, Cl.

I originally ID'd the old Alohas in the area by simply taking an old blossom apart. Not many roses have 65 petals. Donna

Anchita, the rose you are seeking is likely the Autumn Damask (one of its many names, see the HMF link below. I've grown it here in Livermore and it would be an easy rose for a beginner to grow, I think, the main problem mostly being keeping it under control (a vigorous rose). Its main bloom is in the spring but it has scattered blooms later in the season and it does smell heavenly. Other roses along that line that do well here, blooming a bit more frequently due to added genetics in their backgrounds, are Rose du Rescht, Joasine Hanet (Portland from Glendora), Jacques Cartier, and other "damask perpetual" or "portland" types. You are not likely to find this rose, or any of these, at Regan Nursery, which mostly carries only newer roses. The tiny selection of old roses they have at the very beginning of the season are gone in a blink and I've never seen a damask of any type there. (In fact, I've only ever bought one rose from them, Valencia, for my mother -- not the kind of roses I grow, for the most part -- but they have the one of the best selections of fruit trees and shrubs of anyone in the Bay Area in early January). So, unless you can find them by chance at some other nursery (Annie's Annuals in Richmond frequently has Rose du Rescht), mail order is you best chance. HMF lists a number of nurseries offering Autumn Damask (click on the "Buy From" button on the upper right side of the HMF page). A rose in a pot can be planted any time of the year as long as it is kept supplied with water during dry times, though it is usually better to avoid planting during really hot periods (providing temporary shade really helps in that situation). If the plant you buy is "band" size (a rooted cutting, essentially, with maybe some further development), it is usually safer to repot it into a gallon-size pot and allow it to grow a better root system before planting it into the ground.
