Which Hybrid Tea Roses grow best here?
Comments (7)Larry, I'm outside of Knoxville, but I know some of the gardens near you well. Soil wise, the very large Garden that honors Ted and Mary Alice Mills in the city park in Soddy Daisy Tennessee is on a valley fill very like your soils. It's been there for at least eight years, so would be a good place to visit to see what mature specific bushes look like. More constrained is the garden at the Chattanooga ChooChoo, but it may have more recent introductions. I don't know the garden in Huntsville, but the Rose Society there are fans of modern roses. You might also be interested in the TriState Rose Society in Chattanooga. The ARS site below links to them or contacts for them on their Find Your Local Rose Society tab. Tri State is in Tenarky District; Huntsville is in with Georgia and Alabama. You do know that one person's fragrance is another's "I can't smell anything"? The best time to sniff is morning, before the heat of the day causes evaporation of some of the scent. (I think Frederick Mistral is a wonderfully scented rose, BTW) Here is a link that might be useful: American Rose Society website...See MoreFloppy Kordes hybrid tea roses in containers
Comments (2)It's normal for so many roses, I wouldn't worry about it. Small own-root hybrid teas are usually going to be slow. Just keep staking until they can stand up. I have Pink Enchantment (Souv. de Baden-Baden) in 2nd year from 1-gallon. All canes were lost over winter, so it's still kind of pitiful. I removed the flower buds from the first flush and will stake as needed....See MoreWould like to grow Lemon Spice hybrid tea

Comments (6)Yeah, I recently had to replace mine. I originally got it from Vintage Gardens many yrs ago. It was very slow growing. But I find that I don't plant bands in the ground right away any more. They seem to take forever to grow. It took like 4-5yrs to get a decent size, and just as it was beginning to get some good blooms, it up and died on me. I also lost another rose next to it a yr or so later, and I think it was the fact that I wasn't keeping track of my sprinklers. I think they just got dried out in that particular area due to the water spray missing them. Anyway, once it got going, it was quite lovely. It peaked out about 3ft. Didn't have much disease as I recall. The color range is pretty amazing, going from apricot to peach to pink and orange, and all sorts of blends in between. I just got my replacement last summer from RVR, but it hasn't bloomed yet. Here's pics of the old plant's blooms over a few yrs:...See Moreplantloverkat north Houston - 9a
