questions on saving my newest roses
Comments (6)'Dortmund', 'Veilchenblau' and 'Crépuscule' are climbers; the first two are hardy; 'Crépuscule' is somewhat tender, though I would think it would do all right in zone 7--I'm guessing. You probably ought to protect it its first winter at least; and if you have a wall for it to grow against it would probably appreciate it. 'Crépuscule' is fairly shade tolerant but shouldn't go in a dank cold spot or one where it will be exposed to winter winds. All three will need support unless you want to grow them as truly huge shrubs (my 'Crépuscule' is currently about 10' x 15' and asking for more real estate). 'Veilchenblau' is once-flowering, I believe. I don't know 'Peggy Martin'. 'Frau Karl Druschki' is a famous old white Hybrid Tea which I've never seen in person, and 'Rose de Rescht' is a fairly low-growing, red, tough old rose--my brain is frying; I think it's either a Portland or a Damask: both FDK and RDR are reflowering and are different from one another in style: not two roses to grow side by side. I don't know how these roses will do in your area nor what kind of soil and sun you have in your yard. These are some ideas to start with. I agree you should get them in the ground now, in nice big holes. Don't give them a high nitrogen fertilizer at this point: it would encourage them to put on a lot of new growth that would then be killed by frost. Good luck!

Comments (8)Thanks all of you! All of these are brand new roses to me and so far I love them all! This morning when I looked out...Golden Celebration and Jubilee Celebration both have blooms opened. I think the Austins might be my favorites. I can't wait for them to all mature and have a big flush! Happy Gardening to you all. April...See MoreThe latest blooms...
Comments (8)Thanks Peachiekean, Pelicanhead and Becky! Donna, if you look at HelpMeFind.com. they list a lot of suppliers for SNOWFIRE. Judy, I spray my own concoction of a repellent very similar to Liquid Fence. It usually works great, but I think the recent fires and smoke here have made the deer more hungry and somewhat unafraid of anything. Good luck keeping your doe away. As for the roses you mention.... SHOWTIME is a wonderful rose that Steve Singer at Wisconsin Roses sold to me many yrs ago. I don't believe he still carries it, altho you might email him and ask if he would custom propagate it. He does that. It grows and blooms like a weed all season long. The blooms are always gorgeous and the plant has very little disease. If I remember correctly, it smells pretty good too. STRANGER is new for me this yr, and is a florist rose. So far it's bloomed pretty good for a first season plant, and hasn't had any diesease. I've had LADY BIRD for a couple of yrs, and this was her first really good bloom so far. She seems to grow short, barely 2ft so far. That bloom finished out at about 5" and I would call it a deep coral-red with a red-orange center. The photo doesn't do it justice! She gets a little bit of B/S, and some PM too, but not really bad. I don't spray. Thanks Irisgal. I dunno how the heck they can digest those thorns!!! It amazes me....See Morejim1961 / Central Pennsylvania / Zone 6
