Thank you for posting this Henry

Thank you Henry. P of Monaco looks wonderfu.

With a name like "Urban Legend" I feel like I need to get that Oso Easy, but it's just a red double/semi-double. No mention of fragrance, either.

Depending on what people say about cold-hardiness, PCdM might end up in my garden over the next couple years - I've read so many good things about her, but all from warmer zones.

What roses were the winners up against? Who was the competition? Cannot the raw judging data be provided, as is done with the UGA Athens rose trials? To provide these would be very simple; not at all difficult.

The Biltmore International Rose Trials could be so much more meaningful to the rose buying public.

I have four PCdM and have to agree with SoFl Rose. In our hot climate, she's doing really fantastic with lots of water! The only negative is fading in the sun and the tremendous size, which could be a positive for some zones. She always has buds and I've been cutting from her all summer, including the weeks over 110 F.

I agree with what riffs had to say. I can only speak to my own experience with these roses. I have purchased a majority of the winners since the trials began. I’m sad to say that most did not do well here for me. I do not even look at the results anymore.

Even tho Edmunds carrys PCdM (and they say anything they carry should grow in my garden) I had a hard time nailing down a real hardiness zone, but I think its z6 at best. So not here! However I continued reading some more on the site and found David Austins 'Lark Ascending' was a 2016 Biltmore winner. That lead to reading Zimmermans article on how they test at the Biltmore, but it was from 2009. Then I searched Lark Ascending on this forum and apparently not many either read about it or commented on it after it was selected. But that lead to a link to the U of GA David Austin trials which I found very interesting! I could only get the 2014 trial results because Norton said it was a nonsafe site and they put the file into a protected file so I could read it. There are other trials for Starr and Conard Pyle and a 2016 David Austin trial but I could not get to them. I need to start evaluating my roses by their criteria once a month and I might know more about my garden than I think I do!
