I've been looking for the same so I'm anxious to see what the experienced growers suggest. The main ones that come to mind are Gruss un Aachen (sp?), Bolero (essentially white), Cream Veranda, Golden Buddha, and Pretty Jessica. There are some others, but they are orangey-yellow as well and I'm not sure how good they'd look. How about Sweet Chariot? My pink Drift is really floriforous as is Fire Opal, I think there are probably more than a few polys that would suit your needs so you might take a look at Burlington's list for ideas. I also am longing for Barcelona.

I don't know how these might go with the others. Bolero and Floral Fairy Tale are my most compact roses most likely because they only grow a few inches before forming buds again. Peachy Keen is looking to be nice and compact. It has just enough coral in it to blend PAoK into the group. The other is Artful Anna a very nice semi double yellow. Saving spots for 2 more so I'm hoping I can find it again. I would include At Last in here but not positive how compact she will be.

Thank you both for the suggestions, I'll check them out. Vaporvac, I wish you the best of luck finding the right one too.

I am also always on the look out for compact roses since my yard is so small. I have read on these forums that Wife of Bath (Austin related I believe to Mary Rose so it has the cupped pink blooms) stays small. I am thinking of getting it for its small size.

Also I have to recommend Pretty Jessica which I got this year. It is a small fragrant bloom machine despite getting part afternoon sun and only got a little black spot in September. It even still has a bud which is about to bloom.

Hey Sara Ann,

I've been trying to think of a small rose that's not white or light pink...harder than you would think to come up with any suggestions. Intrigue would look great with those you already have in that area, but boy does it black spot here....same with Ebb Tide. Only my second season with Valencia...so far seems like it will stay compact, but not sure its color would work with your others. Heart o' Gold and Eternal Flame are both very tall here, but also very narrow if you have width, but not height restraints. Dame de Coeur was new for me this year, but supposedly doesn't get too big. It's a great bloomer and very healthy so far. Starts out a bright red that might be a bit much for the others, but then takes on a dark, sultry look. Francis Dubreuil/Barcelona is a good bloomer, stays compact, is a beautiful, dark crimson/purple and wonderfully fragrant. Second year with the Austin, Molineux, and think it will stay compact. Lady Emma Hamilton isn't too big either, but may be too orangey. One that I'm excited about, but brand new to me this fall, is Delightful Phyllis sold by Chamblee's. I haven't seen a bloom yet, but it's supposed to be a compact, healthy, fragrant rose with the coloring of Peace.

Golden Buddha is an amazing little rose! I planted mine as a band in May. He endured a horribly hot summer and then hurricane Matthew. Here are a couple of photos. I am a terrible photographer & only use a cell phone, but you can get an idea of color.

Dame de Chenonceau

Munstead Wood is not very tall and would be a nice contrast to the pinks. Blooms like crazy. For a pretty apricot blend try Calypso, an Easy Elegance shrub. Pink Home Run is compact with deep rose single blooms.

Vaporvac, I want Dame de chenonceau but I read it can get quite tall. I am thinking of where I could possibly squeeze it in the back of the border.

I am also considering Floral Fairy Tale for its smaller size.
