Which of these intensely fragrants are most disease resistant?
Comments (19)I grow lots of the roses you list, but I do spray monthly and have no disease problems at all with any of them as long as I have had them and am faithful to the spray schedule. Here is what I have found out about these roses when I have been behind spraying for several months like last Fall when I was in hospital all Fall season. 23x Double Delight (creamy white swirled with strawberry red) NO MILDEW OR BS WHEN NOT SPRAYED-GREAT ROSE 23x Mr. Lincoln (dark red) CAN MILDEW WITHOUT SPRAY 15x Fragrant Cloud (coral red) CAN MILDEW VERY SLIGHTLY 13x Chrysler Imperial (burgundy red) FAIRLY RESISTANT 13x Gertrude Jekyll (rose pink) 13x Jude the Obscure (honey) 10x Crimson Glory 10x Lemon Spice (patel yellow tinted pale pink) 9x Abraham Darby (Austin, apricot blend) 9x Francis Dubruiel (dark true red) 9x Papa Meilland (dark red) WILL BS AND MILDEW W/OUT SPRAY 8x Evelyn (Austin, apricot pink blend) 8x Heirloom (dark mauve blend) VERY GOOD RESISTANCE FOR ME 8x Rose de Rescht (vivid fuchsia) 8x Secret (white tipped pink) WILL MILDEW W/OUT SPRAY 8x Sharifa Asma (Austin, pearly pink) 8x Sunsprite (bright yellow) GET JULIA CHILD INSTEAD!!!! 8x Sweet Chariot (purple blend) 8x Tiffany (pink/yellow blend) GREAT RESISTANCE/GREAT ROSE! 7x Angel Face (1968, dusky mauve) PM AND BS MAGNET FORGETABOUTIT!!! 7x Melody Parfumee (deep plum fading to clear lavender) VERY RESISTANT AND HEALTHY.

Comments (61)A healthy Brug will after the 1st week have developed small white nodes on the area below the water. A brug that is having problems will not developed the nodes. After the 1st week if the cutting feels pliable is my be going bad. A good idea is to pick them up everyday and look at them you will soon be able to tell the good ones from the bad. Bad Brung- bad pic but you get the idea good Brung Notice the brug to the left without nodes- these are problem cuttings. If you have enough you might want to discard them or isolate them into a small container with rooting hormone. Small and flexiable ones should be isolated also as these will proably contaminate the bucket. If you do not have time to pick each one up then smell the bucket it it has an ordor there is a problem and it must be cleaned. Secondary growth is a good idication that all is well. Two buckets that had problems but as an experiment were continued with marginal brugs cuttings. Once these were removed the problem ceased. Rooting in a bucket is fun and you should try other items. It works very well. I have done a rose, jasmine, honeysuckle ( in the last 4 weeks) and will try some passion flower just for kicks. I bet you see other items in there. It does not seen to effect the brugs at all. Here is the last of my cuttings from 1 month ago these were the slow ones ready to go fishing-Floundering. The other are 18 inches tall. Now for the ones that do not want to put out roots but have nodes it is best to plant them. (I guess) It worked for me. I had one extremly large cutting(thick) it just would not make roots so I decided to do the lay it flat and cover all but 1/3 of the top. Well 2 10" cuttings made 9 plants. It seems to work well for very thick woody cuttings. Most of these are going elsewhere so maybe they will update the renegade bucket saga. PS- I did these with well water direct, the 1st ones were done with Reverse Osmosis water what I drink from the well. I guess water is like plasma the better the water the better the results. Municipal water should be good but let it sit for a day so the chlorine comes out. That is the update hope everyone had a happy holiday. I did figure how to add my trade list and clippings so browse if you want. Jim...See MoreWhich is the most fragrant hybrid tea rose?

Comments (55)BenT where would you place your Dream Time..... I see it doesn't make any of your tiers.... I am planning on getting it from your pictures alone, but so glad it is fragrant.... however, I can only hope to smell it I have Fragrant Cloud which everybody raves about and my husband loves it.... but I can't smell it.... mine or others... it won best fragrant at our rose show... but nada for me..... I also have Double Delight which I like the scent, but it is not overly strong to me.... but others who visit say WOW..... so I think there must be something wrong with my nose.... but that being said.... Neil Diamond one of my top scented roses... I have two because the first one I thought was a dud and grew backwards... now the 2nd one is doing the same.... so sad because I just love the fragrance and the rose itself but a terrible terrible bush for me... they are declining one stick wonders. Sugar Moon a WONDERFULLY powerful rose scent... but it too has problems. I have two of these bushes because one was mismarked as PJPII. This rose isn't a one cane wonder, but it does get canker easily.... I get lots of tropical winds and the canes seem damage very EASY .... other bushes of same size not so much.... but I sure love the scent. I won't remove SM because I love her scent.... and I debate on getting ND.... but you know the saying Fool Me Once... Fool Me Twice..... but maybe I am just an addict to Neils scent, because it is SO HARD to walk by him at a nursery. Sharifa Asma is my strongest scented David Austin.... I have Jude and Evelyn though neither seem to be super strong.... Outta the Blue is my strongest scented mauve. Nahema is also one of my top contenders....See MoreLisa Adams
