Rosarium Uetersen

Which zone 8 are you located in? Disease pressure varies wildly in different areas. I would ask only those who grow roses near where you are. Try your local rose society.

Kordes Fire Opal is a very good rose for me. I have Set between two Kordes Jolies and they look spectacular. So good that I added two more of each in a staggered line. Extremely healthy roses. The same for Lady Elsie May.

Electric Blanket

What shade of coral.. There are two I can think of, Collette and Rosarium Utersen, very different shades of coral, disease resistant, can be shrubs or climbers.

Never mind it isn't Collette, I will have to remember who it is.

Napoleon Birnbach advises that Electric Blanket is vigorous(a) and "bad".

Whew!

pattyw, how long have you had your Fire Opal? Have you ever posted pics? I have two, but no signs of buds and I'm trying to figure out a planting arangement, hopefully with Margo Koster. How large do your get? actually, one did flower, but it was almost white. :( Apparently they change with age and sun exposure.

Beautiful form, color and so many blooms!

If you don't have Powdery Mildew there, try Touch of Class.

Vaporvac, I planted my first one just last spring. It grew from a tiny band to 3 feet last year. She had many lovely flowers all year. I don't have a great photo but can show you the one I have so you can see the growth habit. She has beautiful apple green leaves that hang somewhat downward like an apple tree.

If you can find it, Easy Elegance "Kiss Me" is a pretty coral/ pink, disease resistant, fragrant, and blooms like crazy.

I like Coral Dawn, it's a coral/pink.

One of my best all-round roses is Regatta. She is very healthy for me. And another one that I find that stays clean is Enchanted Autumn. Regatta is a paler coral, while Enchanted Autumn is firey. I am in Zone 10 with lots rain and humidity and these roses plow through the summer like champs. And that is saying alot for me, because I still feel like a newbie. Good luck on your decisions and let everyone know what you get - and don't forget to put up pictures. :)

Climbing America Rose is a beautiful coral-pink!! And it claims to be pretty disease resistant..https://youtu.be/VnWr52n-0fI

America isn't resistant in SE PA.

Haven't grown it, but Artistry (J&P) is supposed to be a good coral-orange hybrid tea. Roses Unlimited has it on their list. Not much fragrance.

America is very resistant in this no spray central VA garden, as is her pink sport Pearly Gates. Ditto with Rosarium Uetersen aka Seminole Wind, whose blooms age to two less intense tones, so there's usually a range of at least three glowing corals simultaneously. Think Diane has a great photo of this varied effect, but here's a distance shot from Marianna at HMF that shows the tints. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.36166

Weather's been unusually cool & very wet, rainy or overcast the majority of April & May. RU burst into bloom last week (ahead of all others this delayed season) & has been holding an unusually brilliant flaming coral - a spectacular beacon against a misty backdrop. Very prolific rose as well here, with new buds swelling as others are opening for nearly continuous bloom from early till late with a very satisfying scent. America gets going a bit later & emits a stronger perfume.

Been keeping an eye on Chamblee's for Seminole Fire for months now, but still not seen it available. Oddly enough, their listing says it's not a sport of Seminole Wind?https://www.chambleeroses.com/order.php?search_value=seminole&Search=Search 

I have as well. They say hopefully seninole fire will be available this fall but for sure by next spring. .

For screaming neon coral, Lady Elsie May is as disease resistant and continually blooming as they come. I'm not a huge fan of semidouble roses, but LEM has worked her way into my top 20 roses by sheer exuberance. She's almost never out of bloom.

For a more apricot tone, the Easy Elegance rose Sweet Fragrance is also unstoppable, disease free here, and in my top 20 rose list as well (out of over 1000 now). Sweet Fragrance is in the foreground here, and in the rear is Carefree Celebration. It's equally disease free but fades to a nasty brown edged pink that is quite unappealing to me:

Smiling Jean is another semidouble like LEM that blooms its little heart out and is totally trouble free. It stays naturally shorter than the previous two so it's nice for a 3' space each direction. Here it is with a clematis to set it off in the background.

Jolie Veranda is very low growing and tough as nails. She tends toward the orange side of coral for me.

First Edition is one I'm replacing this year and it struck me as pretty neon coral on first glance. In previous lives in my garden, it has faded to pinkish pretty quickly.

Artistry is indeed coral in her first blooms for me and consistently so. I don't know about disease resistance as this one is a replacement for me as well, but it's a nice solid coral color.

As far as coral color, my Electric Blanket/Bad Birnbach arrived this year with a bloom that was absolutely hot pink. I had presumed it would be coral but it sure wasn't to start. Incidentally, the "Bad" in the name has nothing to do with quality - it's a German word meaning "Bath" and it figures into other German rose names (like Bad Worishofen/Pink Emely). It's also supposed to be tough as nails.

There are plenty more roses that are a milder sort of coral, but those are the first ones that come to mind.

I love Easy Does It, and while disease is not usually a problem in my area, I have never seen any blackspot or mildew on her. Aphids tend to stay away too. The blooms start a saturated, vibrant orange, then slowly turn to a true coral, and finish as a softer coral/pink. Lovely at every stage.

Although it is kind of like a drift rose, Coral Flower Carpet is a great rose.

I like Easy Elegance's Sunrise Sunset. Not usually a fan of coral but this is has nice,shiny, apple green leaves, low-ish growing ( the taller canes start arching as it grows) and the colors start out hot coral pink and fades to a paler pink. Very healthy for me.

I also have Kiss Me ( for a non coral fan, I'm starting to think I do actually lots of coral roses) which, interestingly, was fragrant for me last year, not so fragrant this year- don't know what's up with that - maybe all the rain?
