In my gardens, Jacques Cartier/Marchesa Boccella definitely. Also, whatever the heck that HP rose is that Heirloom calls La Ville de Bruxelles. It blooms all summer...and I mean nonstop...and it smells great. Whatever it is. Carol

Red Ruffles has a good chance of repeating in the southern climates. I guess you could say it is part breeding, part climate and part geographical location. I have heard from people in this Forum say that theirs will repeat so you have a good chance of seeing more blooms from it, perhaps more in the Fall. I am not familiar with Illusion and have not heard anyone say that it has repeated for them though. Be aware that blooms found in azaleas for sale now could have been triggered by the climate that the plant was subjected to at the wholesaler nursery so take some of those blooms with a grain of salt. There is also a chance that late blooming native azaleas could be blooming around somewhere as we speak: R. prunifolium, R. arborescens and R. viscosum. Enjoy! I wish I had some bloomage myself right now!

Nancy, I really like White Pet, a polyantha that gets covered with big clusters of white, lightly fragrant flowers. I also really like Clotilde Soupert - ditto on the getting covered part, but her flowers are fragrant and globular. She has SO MANY flowers that the few that ball (she must ball worse in other places) are not a problem, and her repeat is excellent. I imagine she can be kept easily at 4x4 or 4x3 or less. Borderer is very nice. It stayed very close to the ground for a couple of seasons and is now maybe 18" tall and 3' across. I like the color - kind of light coral/peachy/pink - and double. The Gruss an Aachens are very small in my yard. I wish they'd be bigger, but they still put out the big, fragrant flowers. Hermosa is pretty small - AND pretty with very double globular lilac pink flowers. I have 3 in a group, and a flush is very striking. For red Valentine isn't very big (less than 2x2 going into her 4th spring), but it's not as healthy as the others BUT the flowers are amazing - red on the inside and silvery, silky light pink on the underside and quite large for such a small bush - 3+ inches when fully open. She does better when I remember to cut her back a few leaf sets instead of just snapping the spent blooms. Sherry

Nancy--- ALL of Nelson's Roses are on Fortuniana rootstock--I highly recommend them; great selection & can order online if you like. Or,if you are in the area--or even not so in the area, it's a nice drive to the nursery to pick out what you want( which is incredibly difficult--rows & rows of beautiful plants to choose from!) Just call ahead and they will have your order ready. My Europeana that I have from them is a bloomin' machine; she loved the summer heat of St. Petersburg, FL--kept right on blooming through 90+ temps and high humidity. All of Nelsons stock is acclimated for the outside, so they are vigorous & tough. Susan Here is a link that might be useful: Nelsons Roses
