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.

MIGHT I SUGGEST YOU TRY JULIA CHILD, DAYBREAKER, OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, AND POPE JOHN PAUL II FOR GREAT GARDEN ROSES? I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD BE SORRY....

Comments (11)Patrick, I'm in VA and experience very hot, very humid summers. I've been trying MANY different varieties of Teas and China roses, and I grow them all totally no spray. I can't comment on size of the bushes because my roses are still so young, and, in their first spring after their first winter in my garden, they got severely set back from that peculiar Easter freeze. Just now are most of them really starting to show some decent recover. That said, here are somein the more pink range that seem to be doing very well for me: Comtes du Cayla (I LOVE this rose) Maman Cochet Mme. Antoine Mari Mrs. B.R. Cant William R. Smith Jean Bach Sisley Spice Caldwell Pink (polyantha bloom machine) I'm noticing from my master list, that I grow too many yellowish Teas...oh well.

Comments (32)I know! Which is why I bought 3 bushes. One of them, in my perennial bed gets bs late in the season but the other two get bs to the point that I am considering removing them. I don't have any trouble with my Kiss Me or Sunrise Sunset, Kashmir, Como Park or my Weeks rose Drop Dead Red. If you want a good hybrid tea style red rose Drop Dead red and Kashmir have been good in my bs magnet garden in humid hot SW Ohio at the height of summer. i have had good luck so far with all my Kordes roses and with Belinda's Dream ( touch wood)....See MoreTell me about your most underrated roses!
Comments (42)I have a couple that are under rated. One is Medallion. I got my original in a body bag from KMart years ago. Of course at that time, I did not know that roses needed 6 to 8 hours of sunlight and that they should be on the East side getting morning sun. So what did I do, I planted him at my office on the west side of the building. I built a little retaining wall right up next to the building over part of the black asphalt parking and filled it with dirt.... yes a bad idea, but he doesn't seem to know it. He doesn't get sun til about 2 and when he gets it, he has to deal with the heat and reflection of afternoon sun off a white building. He is a TROOPER and puts out beautiful large blooms. Doesn't get black spot. Though I guess, I just learned he will never get to be a queen because he will never have a high center, but he will always have my heart for those huge buds and flowers..... my 2nd under rated would go to Regatta, because I have friends who shovel pruned theirs, but mine is putting out bloom after bloom..... The only thing about her is I wish I would have put her in a different spot, because she gets BIG and she has thorns.... lots of thorns, and she is right by a doorway....See Moreirisgal_z9
