My three favorite Polyantha roses are: "Mlle. Cecille Brunner" a light pink rose with the shapliest and most fragrant roses of the class. "Perle d'Or" an apricot hued rose. Both have a Tea class parent from which they inherited Old Garden Tea shaped blooms. "Leonie Lamesch" has roses the color of a tropical punch, orange edged with cerise-red. Foliage is quite interesting in its' appearance, and reminds me of a fictional tropical plant. followed closely by "La Marne" warm rich pink hues edged with rose-red, but not overly saturated. "Little White Pet" fastest re-bloom of any Poly I've grown. "Katherine Zeimet" white, and upright, in a colder climate this could make a good border plant. I love Polyantha roses because their growth habit shows much of the grace of a China class rosebush, both have twiggy growth habits and attractive foliage. Because there are fewer yellow roses among Polyanthas, I thought I'd mention a FLorabunda from the 1940's that has the graceful twiggy growth habit of a Polyantha, nice foliage and is a slender willowy plant. It's "Poulsens Yellow" and vintagegardens.com sells it. Its' floral style is artless and natural and the color is light to medium yellow. Petals are large for the size of bloom and have a rather silky texture. It is altogether a lovely plant. Luxrosa

“Poor Lisa” is right, Vap! I think I need to start a thread called something like, “What Roses will stay Small and Tidy in So California”? I’m glad to hear that ‘Yesterday’ has remained very well-behaved for you, smithdale. I fear that Kim knows my climate and I’ll err on the careful side. Maybe I should sink a plastic nursery can into the ground and control it that way? Think that would keep it smaller? I’m not especially attached to this rose, so if it declines after a few years, it’s ok. By then I’ll love it enough to do something about it, or replace it with something. Once the drip irrigation is in it should still get enough water, even though the roots wouldn’t be able to go deep. I know those of you in really cold climates with significant winter dieback just can’t relate to things growing TOO well. I wish I had enough space to accommodate many really large roses. I just don’t, nor will I ever. This is “my forever home”. Thanks for the helpful info! (I really need to fall in love with small roses!) Lisa
