William R. Smith is a beautiful rose but in my garden gets large very quickly. It would not provide color contrast with the other two roses, so you need to decide whether you want contrast or subtle differences. Maggie and Joasine are much darker, but Joasine Hanet in my hot area at least has been somewhat awkward in growth habit. Rhod. Jules in a beautiful soft pink rose. I personally dislike Lady Ann Kidwell but others rave about her. Talisman is more on the orange side of the spectrum and doesn't have an old rose look. Dupuy Jamain I haven't seen in person or grown.

A dear rose friend who has left us grew Dupuy Jamain, and said it took a couple of years before it flowered at all. I have not grown it myself, not have I grown Rhod. Jules.

Maggie might be a good choice for you.

I truly love Lady Ann Kidwell, but if you have to keep her small, you might not enjoy her nodding blooms. Joasine (The Portland From Glendora) is pretty prickly, and thus not something I would grow in a tight space.

And -- you know Buff Beauty can throw out some REALLY long canes. If space is tight, you might end up espaliering her against a wall/fence as an alternative to cutting her back a lot.

That said -- I do love your choice of GramHat and BB . . .

I'm in a different zone entirely, but I LOVE my Maggie. She's still in a pot , but continues to bloom her pretty head off. She will go into the sunniest place I have eventually. I've read that she will get big if she likes her home.

Well, because of the heat wave (record-breaking temps in S.F.), I didn't feel much like working out of doors today! However, with this rare blast of heat in my chilly garden, I can practically see my roses growing as I watch.

Thank you all for your comments. I still can't seem to make a decision about what to put where. I've been thinking of putting Maggie next to Buff Beauty. I'm now wishing I'd placed Grandmother's Hat closer to Buff Beauty and might then place WR Smith on her right. (I'm thinking just now mostly in terms of color and contrast.)

I forgot to mention that I also have Dd Brabant, another possibility, but I think for now I'm going to keep the teas in containers.

The real problem is that my garden space is so very very small. At this point, I have to hope that my roses don't grow very fast. Also, I'd read today that WR Smith is OK with being cut back to limit his size.

Ingrid, do you find W.R. Smith to be very fragrant? I've read contrasting notes about that on HMF. And I do like Lady Ann Kidwell. I can live with the nodding. Because of the limitations on my space and my climate, I am just overjoyed if my roses bloom! I tolerate a lot of things that make others SP a rose. For instance, we have rampant black spot here. And a lot of hungry rose slug action. So I often have a lot of pretty sad looking foliage. But -- the plants keep refoliating and seem overall healthy, so I just don't let it bother me.

Jeri, I bought Grandmother's Hat last fall, all because of you, and am I ever glad! She is doing GREAT for me. She shot up to @ 5 feet very
quickly, has had two lovely flushes thus far and is about to have
another. She's been growing like mad this past month and has many new
shoots and fat buds. Thank you so much for bringing her to my attention. Another fan here.

Buff Beauty is growing in front of the chain link fence. She's really putting out some growth right now. She's my oldest rose in the ground -- I think it's 4 years now. It took til this year for her to finally take off, and I had my first wonderful flushes of blooms. So far no giant canes, and she's pretty stiff, but I will run her along the fence if possible. I love this rose.

Vaporvac, was Maggie slow to bloom for you? I've been reading that she may not bloom for a long time, until she's reached most of her height. Also, I'd read that she is fairly shade-tolerant, so you may not need to give her your best sun, if that's in short supply, as it is for me. Except for this weekend, where the cool gray S.F. fog belt is getting a serious lesson in HOT!

Shebasheba, my Maggie was new from ARE this year, but she has been a bloomer from the get-go! She's still in a pot and gorgeous! Good to hear she may not need the very best sun as I'd really like for her to go in a place that gets mid-premium sun. I may even try to root another over the Winter. I'll post some recent pics on a post I did on her earlier in the season. I love taking pics of her; her blooms last a really long time on the bush and take the rain like a champ!
