Rose chinensis or heirlooms just a few, thank you any color Bamboo not the sugar cane or ditch, something nice tks

When I gardened in Wisconsin (zone 4) I grew a handful of teas and chinas but I kept them in pots! They overwintered nicely in our unheated attached garage. But I'm betting you could have them outside too. They probably will have severe cane die back so they won't get huge and the flowers may not fry as much in your zone. Teas and chinas take more pruning that one might think. I have a few in pots here. Each summer my hubby and I go back up to WI for 2 months and I cut back my teas and chinas hard (6 to 8 INCHES) before we leave and by the time we return in early August they are back over 2 feet tall and are blooming again! :-)

The post has been more than 6 years......I try my best with some of them: Yue Yue Hong (literally: Month Month Red) 月月红 Dong Mei Zhi Zi (Son of Winter Plum) 冬梅之子 Chi Dan Hong Xin (Red Courage and Heart) 赤胆红心 Pu Tao Hong (Grape Red) 葡萄红 Zi Yan Fei Wu (Purple Swallow Fly Dancing) 紫燕飞舞 Sai Zhao Jun (Name of a fictional figure) 赛昭君 Yi Bang Fen (One Stick Powder) 一棒粉 Fen Zhuang Lou (Name of an ancient Chinese novel, literally means: Vanity Mansion) 粉妆楼

Embothrium, yeah the leaves too, look alike there. Portlandmysteryrose, thanks for the comments on Perle d'Or and Cecile B., I love CB, wish I could find it here :( I tried to find some common link between them and Old Blush, but there seems to be none. Still, I wonder what makes them produce leaves like that. All of the bushes, in different locations, are easily recognizable by the foliage alone. As a matter of fact, when I collected cuttings of it, I collected of some others too and had them in a vase for a day or two without flowers, when I got time to plant them, I tried to sort them by varieties. And these were the only ones I can say with 100 percent certainty are well-sorted. I have found and collected Mrs Dudley Cross before, and in most sources describing it in depth, they make note of the unusual foliage. But it's not the case for Old Blush, it seems. Nik, I'm curious, what makes a china rose? I'm not saying it isn't, just want to know so I can identify others when/if I stumble upon them. It does seem to be Old Blush, now by several people's criteria. Thank you guys!
