Comments (24)Thanks Susan for the info. 'Sisters Fairytale' stays short in my garden about 3 feet. I have not been able to find a source for this one lately. I bought her about 5 years ago and managed to keep her alive in spite of my lack of rose gardening expertise, so yes she IS one rugged little rose. Not a super prolific bloomer but she puts out a nice display and has a very mild scent. Cinderella grows tall and has no scent. 'Caramella Fairytale' is the least hardy of the three but has such gorgeous blooms so the winter damage is worth it. I just bought 'Golden Fairytale' this year so she is still really tiny but I've read great things about her. Peter Kukeilski is a huge fan of both Kordes and Easy Elegance roses. I used his book 'Roses without Chemicals' as a reference when choosing my later rose purchases. I wish I had had this info before I bought all of my roses since he is very strict and honest in his rose ratings. He gardens in Maine on the coast so a similar environment to mine except he's farther north and we're more inland (about 35 miles from the RI coast) but he has BS pressure and winter issues similar to ours. My David Austins are not as disease free as I would like but his flowers are so "to die for" that I'm reluctant to part with them. Some that have been healthy though are 'Lady of Chalotte' 'Darcy Bussell' and 'Windermere' which is the most prolific of the 3. Sadly my favorite for scent, flower form and consistent bloom 'St. Cecelia' is a total mess this year. I just cut her almost to the ground to get rid of the BS. I love her scent so I might just have to coddle her some and try some organic preventatives. 'Heritage' thrives on no care and is still growing well in her overrun garden spot putting out 2-3 flushes a season. Our growing season is very erratic here. Some years spring comes in February others in May. This year I had 3 feet of snow in my garden till the 3rd week of April and had about 50 roses due to arrive the last week of April. It has been very cool this summer with temps hardly ever reaching 90 so I don't think I'll see 3 flushes this year unless we have a nice long fall.

Comments (69)Vapor, cheese? Coffee ice cream sounds great--I haven't had any in years because there is so much competition in luscious flavors nowadays. Tillamook has a great strawberry and Oregon blackberry. It's Oregon ice cream, as is Umpqua. Don't you like the names of these companies? Native American names. Western Oregon is a place of Great roses and great ice cream. Sheila you must try some of the Tillamook and Umpqua flavors. Another favorite of mine, also Tillamook, is Udderly Chocolate. The name sounds like a bad joke. I got so desperate a while ago, I made some Orville Dead and Buried Kettle corn (name is a family joke; sorry to offend). It's pretty yummy with an ice cold Coke. Now I'm wide awake. Diane...See MoreWhy you need Flamenco Rosita
Comments (31)@erasmus_gw Erasmus looking forward to seeing more pictures of yours in the future. Interestingly my teasing Georgia, spirit of freedom, Olivia and bolero all have melted new growth while Flamenco rosita is untouched with another bud opening. My other three unaffected roses are Mel’s heritage, Raspberry Cream Twirl and Peggy Martin....See MoreLilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca
