Zone 8 Ca. Suggestions!

23 years ago

Hi all, I need you to add to the great advice you are always giving me.

My parents wanted some roses added to their house, they got some nice ones, Angel face, double delight, and one that was labeled Mr. Lincoln but, has no fragrance, on the bright side whatever it is it produces some of the biggest most beautiful roses I've seen.

Anyway, they want some more and would prefer fragrance or if no fcragrance an interesting color.

they are in Zone 8, in a dry climate, doesn't get much above 90 in the summer and doesn't get below freezing in the winter.

Although they want hybrid teas or floribundas, I'm looking for as low maintenence as possible with the fragrance,

there, now that I've made you read all of this, here is a quick list of some ones I was thinking of, PLEASE suggest more or tell me if I'm off base with some of these!!

Full Sail,

Chrysler Imperial,

Marylin Monroe

Liverpool Remembers,

Tiffany,

Queen Elizabeth,

Judy Garland,

Blueberry Hill,

Fragrant Cloud,

Sheilas Perfume

Perfume Delight.

Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Scott

Hi Scott, I'm very surprised that Lincoln has no fragance because in my garden it has a strong one in zone 9. I also have Tiffany rose and it smells very good but Queen Elizabeth has no fragance. You could make your choice if you consult these sites :

Mr. Lincoln is very fragrant, as equally strong as Chrysler Imperial. Maybe it is one of those suprises that was mislabled. Granda is quite fragrant and has a good repeat.

All Tks for taking the time and posting your tags Hidesert, great link, just what I needed yukkuri, never thought about growing Favas, going to go give it a try, after I locate some seeds. McKenzie. This is my second year planting garlic in Early Sept, had a huge harvest this year. First attempt at Bush Beans, must say they are growing at lighting speed, have not had any temps over 100 for several weeks now. looks like we will most diffently have a fall crop of bush beans. This was my first experience and posting for this site, what a wealth of knowledge and information, glad I found it. Cheers Donald

Like your other post, asking your husband where he got this rose will help with the ID. Women's Celebration is a very new rose this year so it's more likely to get online or at a few garden stores. Love and Peace has been around a long time and it's available many kinds of places. My Love and Peace had stiffer petals than this rose shows so I'd be inclined to agree with Women's Celebration offhand. I'm not very good at rose identification though so don't trust that statement too far. Cynthia

Hello Scott....
I can also recommend Fragrant Cloud and Chrysler Imperial for having a strong scent. And I'll add that is one of the favourites in my garden both for the strong perfume and the beautiful colours. I have it planted on the edge of a walkway to the front door and visitors first marvel at the colours and then notice the scent as they walk by, usually then having to lean over for a sniff. Another favourite is - a beautiful slightly ruffled large flower which also has a strong perfume. I have it planted in pots on our patio beside our table where we sit for lunch. These are photos taken in our garden. Good Luck !
