Help me find sources for these roses , please
Comments (6)Susan and Diane thanks for responding .Helpmefind,Garden watch dog are two sources for information that I have learnt from GW members.I know that I should be sure of hardiness before trying the roses .But I like these so much that Iam willing to try them .I just hope that vintage bands are as easy to grow as the plants I got from RU (It is the only mail order source I have used so far). Beth thanks for suggesting vintage.I didn't look at their availability because it was't mentioned at HMF.I ended up ordering monet,abracadabra,great news and charles de gaulle.The lady I spoke with said that she can't confirm monet until march 15th (even though they didn't say that in the PDF availability list) and that they have abracadabra now . I was told that I could save a doller on each rose if I give them two substitutes. Iam going to call them tommorow and name black lady and silver lining as alternatives if they can't send me my original choices .I hope that I will get monet rather than the substitutes.I came here to check the responses to my post and read your post about your finds at HD.Iam sad that I can't grab monet .I hope you will enjoy the roses you bought and post some pictures of them for us to enjoy.Thanks Dana...See MorePlease help me plan my zone 6 rose garden
Comments (8)Well, I disagree with Harry. I think it depends on what part of SE PA you are in. I'm more central, in the Susquahanna Valley, Lancaster Co. within a quarter mile of the Susquehanna River and Conestoga River delta. I have Double Delight in my garden that is super. It's low growing about 4' tall and is one of the fullest disease resistant roses in my garden. It's the sub-climate, I'm sure. Gemini gets much taller, say about 7' in my garden and is a good rose for the back of the garden as is Veteran's Honor. Fragrant Cloud is about mid range (Double Delight size) as well as Iceberg. Our Lady of Guadalope is squatty and needs to be in the front. Yes, you will have to treat for black spot, but I prefer a systemic rather than a spray. Bayer has a good one out that helps to keep black spot to a minimum. I've also found that if you keep the bushes well fed and ground watered, black spot is again kept to a minimum. Use an organic fertilizer and a drip system for them. Keep the moisture off the leaves and all dead leaves cleaned up from around the bottom of the plants. I actually, very rarely water -- only when drought threatens them and they are showing signs of stress. Most of my roses are now quite established and can fend off drought conditions. Yes humidity does play a factor with the black spot and that is why you must treat for it. They will still show some sign of it even if you help the plant be as strong as possible. That is what the systemic is for. You can also pull off the leaves as they get it as well. As far as Austin roses -- well, it is a taste that is learned, I suppose. To me, Austin roses in this area are no better than the HTs. Each one is just as different as the next, some have good disease resistance, others are just ronchy. I have two Austin roses (the only ones left). Tamora which is looking at the shovel this year, or at least moved to a pot where I think it might be better. And Shaifra Asma which was planted in memory of a friend and will stay. SA does appear to be a good plant so far. Another thought would be to plant own-root roses. No matter if they are HTs, Austins, Polyanthas or what, own-root roses have better strength and disease resistance in our area. Your selection of roses are beautiful....See MoreHelp me find a rose for the corner of my house?
Comments (20)I grow hybrid musks for their ability to withstand half day sun. A good 5x5 is the Jeri Jennings rose which can be found at Rogue Valley Roses. Soft yellow, blooms in clusters, smells nice, disease free and little if any pruning needed. I have mine in the same exposure you require and it's one of my favorites. Here is a link that might be useful: Jeri Jennings Rose...See MoreIs Your Garden Listed on Help Me Find?
Comments (81)Sammy........ I am sorry you did not find more nurseries and gardens listed for your state. I think that is an indication that the site is under-utilized in your area or that gardeners in your state are not familiar with the site. HMF does not advertise and is not supported by advertisers, but is supported by site users through premium-memberships, nursery sponsorships and donations. People find out about HMF by word of mouth, mentions in articles as the references used for the article, by nurseries listing their inventories and pointing customers to HMF to find out more about the roses they carry. In my former life, I used to be a construction accountant. Every time I changed jobs, I had to learn a new accounting program. It's the same on the internet. HMF is designed to be a tool for research and an archive of information about roses that are currently in commerce or have gone out of commerce. It takes time to learn how to navigate a new site, but I do think HMF is worth it. Connie is correct, when people list their gardens, it provides more information to other site users about the roses that grow well in their area. When even small nurseries lists their inventories, it helps rose lovers find a source for roses that may not be readily available in your local neighborhood. When site users share their experiences about how a rose performs in their gardens, those COMMENTS are archived with the rose page. All of this information can be found without having to wait for a response from other site users. However, members of the rose community play an important role in answering questions on the Q & A, providing more information about a plant's performance and, yes, catching errors. As nurseries like Vintage close, having those gardens listed on HMF will create a valuable tool to help save the roses that are not easily found in commerce. Smiles, Lyn...See Moredianela7analabama
