your favorite coral, orange, or deep pink roses?
Comments (10)Westerland seems to fit your requirements! It's described as a "shrub/climber" although mine grows as a tall, upright shrub to about 5' (I trim it quite heavily in the spring so it would grow taller if I let it). It stays upright - the canes are not lax at all. The flowers are large, double and bright apricot/orange - very eye-catching. It doesn't seem to be bothered by any disease problems here and blackspot is a big problem here where it's hot and humid. It's listed as being hardy to zone 5. Incredibly, I don't have a picture of it but you can look it up on Helpmefind. I also have Easy Living, which I like very much although mine is a small shrub. Heaven on Earth is a shrub that produces beautiful huge pastel apricot blooms. Perhaps my favorite in an orange/apricot color is Pat Austin, which does very well here....See MoreWhat's your favorite 'Orange' Rose
Comments (65)The Oranges I had bloomed ok...Livin Easy was a bloom machine from the get go without any fertilizer used... But I'll try potassium for better health... Only location I have that gets the least sun is out front. That location gets sun from sunrise until 2pm... Other location in the back closest to house gets sun from noonish until sunset... Farther out into backyard some locations gets sun from early morning until 5-6pm other locations early morning sun until dusk.. No trees around our yard or house... Nice orange shade on that Sweet Promise 2007 rose you pictured Strawbhill! :-) This post was edited by jim1961 on Sat, Jun 28, 14 at 13:44...See Morefavorite blue, orange or yellow drought resistant perennial?

Comments (19)I think once established they would be fine. I have them all over my garden in irrigated and unirrigated areas, full sun and dappled light, and they thrive everywhere. Once they start spreading, just pull them in the spring/early summer in areas where you don't want them....See MoreWhat Roses should I order? What are you favorite Roses?
Comments (36)So you def love Awakening! Do you have experience with New Dawn? I don't know if I'd pick Awakening again because I think there are better roses out there, and she is so very thorny. OTOH - she's healthy, doesn't black spot, and doesn't require much intervention on my part. I think I might just get a welding apron and some leather gloves though just to make pruning her easier. I don't think I'd have it on a porch if I had children, so now the pain she inflicts is more of an amusing novelty for visitors. On still another hand, she has a good fragrance (Apples) to me and since that and blackspot resistance are my two biggies she's been a good rose. As to rebloom I haven't found this rose to ever really stop and it has a good flush in the spring. I do not really keep up on deadheading, really I just rip old roses off as I walk by. If I had to pick again, I might go with a rambler in that spot and weave in a different climbing plant for later flower. An additional consideration for me was winter hardiness. I live outside of Phila in the last bit of zone 7a, and, in my opinion, we still get the occasional zone 6b winter. May of my other plants are protected by a long hedge which I've found further insulates my plants and helps maintain the temperature in the rear garden but the climbing roses climb above that protection. I'm not a woman who will go out and bury my rose canes in the ground (I have a fig tree that's on its own in the winter some years we get fruit, some years it regenerates from the base). So in additional to all I've written above I also wanted to consider a tough plant that would shrug off ice storms and the occasional freeze to 0º....See MoreSun2shinie, Arkansas z7a
