Thank you very much. I hope the foliage is tough as well. :)

For me Tiffany burns faster than Mr. Lincoln even. It's noticeably more affected by the strong sun than any other of my roses. Hopefully it will change after settled in. Tiffany and Pope John Paull II were both planted earlier this year and are next to each other; Pope John Paull II laughs at the sun. His blooms look good for a very long time and he has easily given me the most flowers this year. Pink Peace does pretty well in the heat too but is a Rust magnet here.

I have both Tiffany and Queen Elizabeth on the south side of our house. Although we are in CT, this garden gets very hot because of the reflected heat from the house. Both roses are hardy and bloomed well this year, although Tiffany was better.

Kathy who posts here from Sacramento (hot) said 'English Sachet' thrived in the heat. If you like the English rose look.

Belinda's Dream holds up to heat quite well. One of the parents is Tiffany.

Belinda's Dream does look like a possibility, but I'm wondering if it is too wide. Perhaps it can be maintained by pruning? I was hoping Tiffany would be just as tough, but it sounds like, not. Pope John Paul II looks beautiful, but I have an Iceberg hedge nearby and I was hoping for some color. English Sachet is very pretty. I also wonder about Earth Song? Decisions like this can keep me searching on the internet for hours. Thank you all.

FWIW: Many yrs. ago (30+ by now) when I was a student, several other students and I rented a small house in Anaheim, a couple or so miles from Disneyland. Part of the agreement with our landlady was that we would take care of the lawn or she would hire a gardener and add the cost to our rent. The yard was tiny and had several small flower beds outlined with a cement curb. One of my roommates decided that we could grow roses in the bed that got the most sun. So, we went to a hardware store and to K-Mart and bought several body bags of roses in every color (that we knew of). The pink one was Queen Elizabeth. As I recall, QE bloomed in cycles and was a good bloomer. She got to be tall and very upright, not a spreader. I don't think the blooms fried too badly but I also think that she may have taken a break during the hottest part of the summer to begin blooming again in September. None of us had a clue, yet all the roses grew and were blooming when the last of us moved out. QE must be a very forgiving rose or maybe just the right rose for the right place. Either way, she would probably do even better for you.

Thanks, Kes. As long as the foliage stays healthy and the canes are shaded in the summer, that would work.

, I have QE growing in morning sun only, and she does very well, but there are several gardens that I pass out on my walks, where she is growing in full sun, and she is magnificent. She can reach close to 7' if not given a good summer prune and is quite narrow, but the huge candelabras of flowers are beautiful. They do fade quickly, but hold their shape for a day or two longer. The foliage is healthy here.
