Can you please help me to identify the roses in these plantings?
Comments (21)Andreajp, these are lovely photos and a beautiful look to aspire to. It's a good idea to choose from the roses at the cemetery - pretty much an opportunity to find guaranteed winners for your garden. The photos really excited me because my front garden is finally getting mature enough that Souv de la Malmaison and Mme Lombard are looking like one bush because ML is reaching out wide. I don't mind (yet), because I've long been an admirer of the thicket look. I tried to plant 6' on center (but sometimes not) which pretty much guarantees that teas will be overlapping some, so plan accordingly and be patient with the blank spaces for a few years. Like Jeri said, fill in with annuals. One word of advise if you use Purple Coneflowers (which I recommend). They are thugs root-wise so don't plant them under or even near the canopy of the rose. Since my roses are fairly disease resistant, I don't worry about air circulation, but being able to get to the roses for maintenance is important. Give yourself room to get to each rose from the front and the back. Make an alley behind the roses if you're planting against a fence. Then squeezing in to reach the sides, if they touch at maturity, isn't too bad unless you have a bad back and can't reach awkwardly. There are definite consequences to planting too close. And remember in Zone 9 they will get big and probably even huge. If those photos were taken in the spring flush, those bushes will be a mess by the end of the season. Can't wait to hear which ones you choose. Sherry Here is a link that might be useful: If only sweat were irrigation......See MorePlease Help Me Identify these Roses
Comments (2)UNK2 reminds me of Carefree Wonder (Should have more than 17 petals) I don't grow this one (no pic) but the fading of the outward petals is right. See link below. UNK 9 Looks just like Carefree Sunshine (Should have sharp plentiful thorns) I have more pics if you want to see them. Beautiful garden!

Comments (12)thanks all, I didn't even think of cl. "Lady Hillingdon" and I do want the bush form of Lady Hillingdon, but for the house would prefer a more lemony hue to go against the pale gray house. I just added "Lamarque" to my order from rogue valley, yesterday, I'm getting two "Westside Road Cream Tea" rosebushes to flank the front of the pathway to my front door, they will be side by side with "Mlle. Cecille Brunner"( the smaller c. 4' tall form) with an arbor in back of these with yellow climbing roses "Marachel NIel" and "Cecline Foreestier" and French lavender on the other side of the arbor so the view from my front door will be of lavender, yellow climbers, and "Mme. Berkeley" and "Clementina Carboinieri" off to one side, where I'm planting a mandarin orange tree for evergreen winter interest. The yellow climber I'm searching for will be on this side of the house. Originally I planned for cl. "Cramoisi Superieur" but decided I love yellow roses more than red roses. I still can't decide although I'm leaning towards "Alistair Stella Gray"which I've grown before, or "Leys Perpetual" although I swore I'd never again buy a rose that I have never seen in "person". so many beautiful roses, and finite rose real estate.

Comments (20)Sheila, I studied this rose again, and several of the stalks definitely have the S shape that you mention as being characteristic of General S. In looking at your photos (thank you for these, by the way) I do really like General S, which seems to have a much more graceful form in addition to a prettier flower. For now, at least, I'll think of this rose as being General Schablikine. I'm glad that yours is not unusually large, although of course the teas just keep on growing for many years, and I'll try to keep it within bounds with gentle trimming when needed. I'll give myself plenty of time to grow fond of this rose. They so often change in character from what they look like when young, and it will be interesting to see it develop. The color is a bit more strident than I'd like, but I notice that yours is a much nicer color so there may be hope yet....See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
