I have mostly lurked with a few posts, but I have collected lots of information and advice about nospray roses in the southeastern US. Here is a picture of a few I cut today. From left to right, Louis Philippe, Comtesse du Cayla, Teasing Georgia. In the middle is Nacogdoches (Grandmother's Yellow).

Thanks to all!

Very pretty. I have never seen Nachogdoches.

Nacogdoches is a wonderful non fading yellow. It was found underneath the eves of a rundown old motel outside of the town of Nacogdoches [oldest town in Texas]. I live about 30 minutes from Nacogdoches and remember seeing these roses growing there, would even stop and see them - there was a beautiful pink that might have been Queen Elizabeth. So healthy and bloomed wonderfully in spite of the very humble conditions they were growing in. It is a yellow well worth growing.

'Boxing' new roses planted where old roses were?

Hmmm...taking what Rosefolly and Campanula are saying, I find myself wondering why we're not affected by this problem here. I also have planted new roses where old ones were (I didn't know any better at the time) and some have thrived others not so hot. Some of the ones that were ailing, I replaced the soil which was a lot of work, and the same variety did not do well again. It's kind of a crap shoot for me actually. Now I don't want to derail my own thread, but a perfect example of this "some roses won't do well" syndrome for me was Abraham Darby. In December 2004, I bought and planted 12 (count'em twelve) Abe Darbys in a garden I was re-configuring: I had fallen in love with this rose. They were own-root plants from J&P. I had to shovel prune every last one, they would not grow higher than 18" for me after 4 years! Not to be discouraged (I'm pretty stubborn and dumb) I bought 3 more bare roots, from another source, these grafted....nothing. Terrible...they died. So I figure "I can't grow this rose, I give up!" Later...we're reconfiguring a huge new bed at the abbey, I order 3 Evelyns from an own-root nursery I swear by (best around) and they send me the plants, I put them in, they thrive and start to bloom like crazy - getting huge...but not Evelyn, mis-labeled roses, you guessed it, Abraham Darby. Summing up: after close to 17 tries, Abe Darby finally worked for me only from one of these own-root rose nurseries and I thought I was getting Evelyn. How I got onto this from specific replant disease is anybody's guess...but it felt good to get that off my chest. Happy gardening!

Kristi, just thought I should mention the Kordes perfume-fest Parole, aka Buxom Beauty. Was introduced to the USA in 2008, so it may have gone under your radar. Apart from its names (Jailbait/Dumpling - yeah, good work there, Kordes Marketing Dept), this deep cerise pink rose is pretty near perfect - no spray requirements, beautiful high-centred flowers with substantial petals (HUGE blooms in cooler weather), nicely productive with a fragrance that is really intoxicating and waft-y, richly sweet but sophisticated. No cold cream or myrrh. And it cuts like a dream. I'm up to six of these. They're my battery hens for vase filling. Just sayin'.

Roses For A New Day -- Fires Can't Stop A Rose Gardener

I was asleep when the reverse 911 call came in. I knew we had Santa Ana conditions and a fire was way, way up in the mountains. Never imagined it would come to this ... Nearly 1 million Californians displaced. I woke up the kids and called my husband who was working late to come and get us! We left at 2 a.m Monday and saw the flames advancing over the ridge. After 5 days with just the clothes on our backs and the 5 of us living pretty much out of our van 100 miles north, we're back in Escondido today and thankful our home was spared. Many of our neighbors were not so fortunate and it's difficult to see all the charred foundations where houses once stood. I drove up the mountain to check on some of our kids' schoolmates and after much confusion mixed with some denial, I realized I couldn't find or see their homes because . . . well, the homes were not there anymore! The schools are getting lists together of kids whose homes burned to the ground. It is so sad. The firefighters who saved our neighborhood commented that we were extremely fortunate since there were walls of flames almost 360 degrees around us. Our kittens are safe but scared and weak. I gave them baths, cleaned out their eyes, ears and noses which were filled with soot. We have lots of ash and some came into the house through the door jams. We will be cleaning all weekend and for weeks to come. I lost some of my rare roses (from the wind, 99 degree heat and not being there to water them) Fatalities were Burgundy Iceberg, Julia's Rose, Spellcaster, Ruby Pendant and others. But I have NOTHING to complain about ... we got out and our kids have a home to come back to .... just a whole lot of cleaning up to do. Very Thankful, Denise

Pretty petals...500 roses! I have en entire back yard that doesn't have a single flower/shrub, etc., ..but I'm pacing myself. :-) Rose_crazy - the soil is all that but there are still chunks of that deep red sticky clay. I can't recall any place that has yellow roses down here....but I have seen other bush roses (nothing this pretty I don't think!) Let's hope they adapt and I can keep the happy! Diane...thank you! The yellow/purple combo has become my favorite and my son had no idea when he bought the Get Mees. He just knew I needed plants and his "new tradition" he said was going to be to buy perennials each year. (I like that tradition!) Your Get Mees look great. Sylvia - we'll have to swap notes as we go. When did you plant yours? How's she doing? Sheila-I hope you do, too! :-) I hope I do, too! Thanks for the welcome, all!

Congratulations: very nice roses! A question, though: is your 'Louis Philippe' usually that pink and double? Mine is redder, more cupped, less full. It may be more variable than I realized. The photos on HMF look like yours: now I'm confused.

Judith: 'Queen Elizabeth' is a great survivor here, and a passalong rose, understandably given its robustness and how easy it is to propagate by cuttings.

Melissa,

I came in from the garden an hour or so ago and read your response. My first thought was, "mine is usually red with pink inside"--then I looked at the picture again and was surprised at how pink it is! and the actual flower in the vase. So I went outside to see if there were any new blooms--there weren't, but I got side tracked with some weeds. So now I'm back. Some of the pictures on HMF seem a brighter red. The nursery from which I bought this plant says it is also known as Cracker Rose. I'm attaching a link to a 2013 thread about this rose. There is mention of LP roses from the southeast versus the west coast and how red they are. Thanks for your comments!
