Thornless rose for sprays of small rose hips
Comments (8)My Ballerina and Veilchenblau have clusters of small hips like that and almost no thorns. Robinhood too, but it's a bit thorny. Ballerina's have been very pretty. Firm shiney round hips, nice color. The local wild rose makes nice sprays (good color) but they're airier (hips further apart). I don't know what would grow in MI, though....See MoreCould anyone ID this thornless rose?
Comments (3)It looks a little like Red Drift except it's too tall. Can you give us any more information about it? Where do you live? When and where did you get it? Is it fragrant? How tall is it and how big are the blooms? The more you can tell us about it the better....See MoreAre there any good thornless roses?
Comments (13)If you are looking for thornless roses with the classic hybrid tea shape then there are definitely some out there. Florist roses are usually thornless and some are suitable for outside cultivation depending on your zone. One such rose is Tineke. It was a real beauty in my garden and thornless for all intents and purposes. Another florist rose I grew that was thornless was Golden Fantasie. It's almost impossible to find now, but every once in a while it would crop up in unusual places like Ace Hardware or the Farm and Ranch stores. Two minifloras I like are Mary Pickersgill and Deja Blue. Queen of Sweden was mentioned as thornless but in reality it's more low thorned. But not bad comparatively speaking. I love this rose btw. Below is a picture of Tineke..........Maryl...See MorePlease help me choose climbing thornless roses
Comments (15)I think if you only get 3-4 hours of morning sun, it will be hard to find a rose that will bloom well for you. Then again, you won't know until you try. Does the top of the pergola get more sun? Best case, the rose will grow up to the top without blooming much, and then do better once it reaches heights with more sun. Off the topic of roses, here is a guide to planting climbing hydrangeas: http://www.marthastewart.com/1502837/marthas-step-step-guide-climbing-hydrangeas But they won't have a scent. For scented climbers, you could try jasmine, but I'm not sure how well it does in shade. If you are planning on putting iris in that shady front bed, I would stay away from bearded iris, which like lots of sun. Japanese iris are ok in part shade. Even better for you would be Pacific Coast iris. These plants thrive on the west coast in part shade. I have several clumps of iris douglasiana (a native pacific coast iris) growing in my yard in spots that get maybe 1 or 2 hours of morning sun, and they bloom like crazy for about a month in the spring. There are many beautiful varieties. Check out the article here. Finally, another flower that has done great for me in part shade is foxglove. There are perennial varieties that will bloom from spring into late summer even in afternoon shade. And if you want scent, oriental lilies like some afternoon shade and create a heady perfume throughout the garden....See Morerosyone

It's the best smelling rose I know of, smell like lavender and lilacs, beat all my 15 Austins. It blooms like mad, drought, and disease-resistant.
