Niles Cochet and Mutabilis growth/height comparison
Comments (2)Thanks - That's what I wanted to know. We have an enormous, bare, treeless backyard. This is a really big bed. The lilac is in the middle and each rose will have its own "cul-de-sac." I need some big'uns to break up the yard (and reduce mowing). I received a Pink Mermaid today for the fence - 30 feet sounds great! ;)...See MoreNiles Cochet went into Prosperity's spot and is doing NOTHING.
Comments (9)Isn't your area pretty hot right now? Teas tend to slip into dormancy in hot weather -- He's just been put into a new spot, and he is growing on his own roots, rather than budded on Fort. I'd expect him to sit there and just grow roots for a while. At least, that's what I'd expect HERE. Jeri...See MoreWho has bigger blooms? Clementina C. or Niles Cochet?
Comments (14)Ron at Petaluma rose nursery suggests growing Tea class roses in pots their first year, so that their roots stay warm. Luxrosa *** We always do. Partially because their roots are warmed, and they get a head start. But I must be honest, and confess that part of that year (or more) is spent in pursuit of the answer to the question: WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT THIS THING?

Comments (23)Notice how everybody is suggesting different varieties? There are a lot of wonderful Teas. Currently competing for first place in my affections are 'Etoile de Lyon', 'Archduke Joseph', and 'Mme. Antoine Mari'. All are big, strong, healthy, frugal, elegant plants, with very beautiful flowers when conditions are favorable. MAM's last, abundant flowering looked more like a Polyantha's than a Tea's, the flowers, in corymbs, were so numerous and the blooms so small; but it was hot and droughty. In spring the blooms were large and luscious. She's gearing up for another flush now in spite of a month or so with no water. 'Etoile de Lyon' is, oh, just wonderful: I have a recent thread on her. I love yellow roses, and she is that, not one of the pink and lemon or natural-peach-ice-cream-colored types. 'Archduke Joseph' has achieved the feat of turning into a full-sized climber, currently about 15' x 10' x 10', still setting buds in spite of a month of drought. Shapely coppery-pink fragrant blooms and particularly excellent, clean foliage. All these varieties have at least some fragrance--least to most, EDL, MAM, AJ--and all have individually beautiful flowers, though perhaps EDL is the most stunning of them all--though MAM can compete there....See MoreKippy
