Oh, okay- I'll just have to save the address of your album to my favorites. Thank you for taking us through the winter with your wonderful photography and roses. It has been such a pleasure.

Ideas? Replacing 3 roses w/perennial/shrub needing less sun
Q
Comments (11)
It sounds like a lot of sun for a true shade plant; frankly I'm surprised the roses aren't doing better than they are, because that's as much sun as any rose ever gets in my yard! However, I have to agree with Ceterum about the hardy geranium. I would go with Jolly Bee instead of 'Rozanne', which has been tougher and a better blue color. It never stops blooming. Heucheras with bright or intense foliage - like Peach Melba or Obsidian - would make great companions. Another option would be to try more shade-tolerant roses before giving up. Polyanthas would be at the top of that list. My family and I love 'Gruss an Aachen' (essentially a floribunda), and although some people have trouble with black spot on it, this may be more related to the clone or rootstock or some other factor. It's never gotten a disease it couldn't quickly recover from in my experience with it in Minnesota, even where it got less than three hours' direct sunlight and had claustrophobic companion plantings of hostas. My original plant was probably grafted on 'Manettii' and I've grown a number from cuttings of this version; a second came from Pickering and has done very well, too.

Showiest rose for Z4a

The roses I recommended get no winter protection. Linda Campbell (in her first year) does not seem to mind the salt from the road. She's a rugosa hybrid and rugosas can handle the salt so I'm guessing in the long run she'll be just fine. As far as most beautiful low maintenance rose that meets all your criteria above I'd have to suggest (sorry, I couldn't just pick one!!!!!): Quietness (some dieback) Carefree Beauty (some dieback) Aunt Honey (some dieback, lightly fragrant) Stanwell Perpetual (a little dieback, decent repeat bloom, fragrant, one of my first roses to bloom in the spring) Hansa (very hardy, very fragrant, large shrub, rugosa) Since the once blooming old roses are some of my favorites I have to add Charles de Mills. And I still highly recommend Konigin von Danemark.. Charles The little dieback part is hard to come across unless you are getting Canadian roses, and even some of them dieback for me. As a group the majority of rugosa roses will give you hardiness, disease resistance, repeat bloom, and fragrance but they are not the showiest of roses..

Correct me if I'm wrong but as advised by one person it is now OKAY to let people break the law as a daily habit because we are worried about an outcome ? Professorroush if someone did this to one of your garden areas what outcome would you of Un-predictably NOT be concerned with that would you would let let it slide off as a WHO CARES WHAT SOMEONE DID ATTITUDE. Personally I USE TO think better of you than that and perhaps you wouldn't of let it be just another day in the garden brush off. I don't mean and never meant to sound encouraging you seek a manner of revenge as suggested by some of the feed back that is now posted either, I understand that some are as upset as you are there is a big difference between actions and reactions I'm supportive to there is no need to let this person continue doing what they do YES as hartwood said you do NEED TO KNOW AND HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW what they used and EXACTLY what they used to the details NO IF'S ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT Labeled products that are: herbicidal,insecticidal,fertilizing (and some others) have CLEARLY WRITEN INSTRUCTIONS on how to use, where to use,how much to use, storage,disposal and more. ANY MISUSE of application by a licensed or unlicensed person is a CLEAR VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAWS as printed prior to (and again at the same time as the ANY QUESTIONS CALL 1 800 number) parts of the label(s) Simply put to let ANY applicator slide as if this never happened at all allows them to continue there habits in a manner that is unlawful (as seen by the wording neighbor) Other than that I read your post originally as the roses where near the fence and also meant yes you do have the right to tell someone who is paid for a service to not conduct a service specific to an area regardless of the product. Meaning. They ARE not to act in a manner not consistent than what you requested with out reason. ( by what you now posted as I understand it rest assured They have no reason) Just as a reference Diesel fuel leaves nice greasy stains on greens and jeans, if your grass looks like it's been moon lighting as a mechanic then you have a fuel spill problem. As to what can and can't grow in a fuel type spill is somewhat relative to what fuel is at the spill, how well it is cleaned, how much, how sharp the area is, other climate and environmental factors. The wording I used is meant to read, a heavy fuel ( such as diesel) does stay residual for an extended amount of time and can severely limit what grows in the effected area during it's residual time. Still confused ? See also: oil spills, Exxon oil, BP oil

We've been happy with our Zephyr; we have the Anzio in the 30" size. This is a flattened pyramid. Lighting is nice and bright when I want it. The fan is operated by push buttons. I rarely use the high setting because it is the noisiest. For the small amount of time I use high, it is an acceptable noise level.

Beth, I can not thank you enough for sharing your rose alphabet with us. I enjoyed it so much. Every letter was informative and just down right beautiful. I had to sp my Wild Blue Yonder due to rabbit damage, but after seeing your photo, I will buy and try it again. That is a beautiful picture! Thanks again, and I look forward to upcoming posts. Lesley

WAIHEKE & WE SALUTE YOU are grabbing my attention. Chicago Peace needs to bloom to satisfy my sunset color urge.

The rain storm that just passed was welcomed by the roses. We have lots of buds. Colette has blooms hiding in the foliage. Still cool.

So glad I found the time at the end of my day to check in here. I'm with you Beth. Winter just seems to keep hanging on. It will be in the 30's tonight and the west wind has been howling for he last several days from all the fronts moving our way. I get so sick of the wind. Anyway, your roses are a delight and all are so tempting. My three favorite out of this bunch are Westerland, Westminster Pink, and Wild Blue Yonder. Can you tell me how big your Wild Blue gets and what the repeat is like?

Who would have thought so many pretty roses resided at the end of the alphabet!
No, it isn't going to warm up. These few days are only a teaser. Cold is returning and we are expecting another crummy weekend. Your photos are cheery, Beth.

Thanks everybody!

Maryl, my WBY grows rather straight upright, about 2ft wide and up to about 5ft tall. Repeat is fairly decent. I think I got three good flushes the last couple yrs. I had it in a big ceramic pot, but this fall I stuck it in the ground, so I might see different results this yr.

Oh Kathy! I know... they keep saying we're to get rain again this weekend. When will it ever end? I know we need the water, but I need a break. It's so depressing!

Thank you Beth for the information on WBY. As it's a narrow grower and not overly tall, I just may be able to find a spot for it. Here's to it warming up (but not HEATING up) for all of us.
