Vapor was the color you saw on pomponella the lighter pink or the deeper pink? I can see both colors in the help me find pictures and wonder which one is more true. I hope this one repeats a lot.

ohhh I love Flamenco Rosita

I have Sceptre'd and it is global until the very end when it opens up. I live in Palm Beach County which is the same zone as Miami. I am not sure why your mother's isn't global, maybe it is just the timing that you happen to catch it on..... It is a lovely rose. I also have St. Jude the Obscure. I love him. He is terrific in every way. Another globular one that I like, but do not have.... but hoping to get is The Hunting Rose and/or Constance Spry.....

By the way if your Mother is in Miami, you should tell her about The Greater Palm Beach Rose Society Rose Show,,, here is a link to it..... maybe you can come too http://gpbrs.org/events.htm

Lots of lovely choices here !! Your window is gorgeous and will be beautiful no matter what you choose. My mind is scrambled eggs right now so I don’t have any suggestions but I’m sure I will soon . I wanted to butt in about sceptrd isle . Mine is also semi double , it came from roses unlimited. So maybe as much as I love Pat avoid that source and hunt down the globe version .

Oh how bout Eglantyne? Or ancient mariner ?

Of about the 70 roses I have grown, my best bloomers have been Mary Rose (1st pic) and Bouquet Parfait (2 last pics). Both get to around 5'. Bloom constantly.

Eden was an easy to grow rose for me, it just takes a few years for it to be constantly covered in blooms.

How about Florentina? I suppose it is more deep cupped than globular, but the color is a beautiful red. Other similar shaped but pale pink are Heritage and Nahema. Rebloom on Heritage is good.

Agree that Huntington rose is beautifully globular, not sure if it climbs since I don't have one. One I have is Wollerton Old Hall, but I am not sure if that is too pale for you. See Malorena's post about the Ancient Mariner- looks amazing.

I think mustbnuts, those are great ideas. La Reine is just amazing.

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. It is so difficult to choose after reading about all these wonderful options. Of course this thread made me take notes for all the roses I want to add next year :). I have decided after sleeping on it that I will try the Ancient Mariner for this spot. This is a rose I don’t have anywhere in my garden and have thought I wanted before. I think it has more color than the iceberg there, but will keep the look of the room soft and light.

Thank you Lily for stopping by. I know you have a million things going on right now and I appreciate you taking the time.

Thank you Altorama I really love the roses you suggested. Mary is one of my best bloomers as well and I love her, but I already have 5 in my garden and I wanted to add something new. Bouquet Parfait is amazing and I will add it to my list for next year. I love the look of that one too.

Mustbnuts the look of the roses you posted is what made me fall in love with roses. I will set up a place in my garden with all day sun and try La Reine and Varonne Prevost. I have been afraid to try hybrid perpetuals in a garden where even spraying I already have blackspot. I seem to recal posts here saying the HPs get a lot of BS. I still love how beautiful they are and want to give it a shot.

Totoro I definetly want to try the huntington rose. This is a rose I havent heard a lot of about and i was wondering if it just wasn't very good. I recently saw in a post that it is actually a good underrated rose, but i am not sure if it would climb. After seeing Marlorena's post on the Ancient Mariner I think it will be able to climb since I want it to go around 7-8 feet up the wall. I love the shape of florentina, but I have

hmmm Houzz just keeps changing the order of my posts and some just plain don't show up. Sorry Totoro the post I initially wrote just disapeared. I was saying that I love the shape of Florentina, but I wanted something less red for this area. Do you grow florentina? I would love to see what the real color of this one is. I am very selective about the reds I like, prefering those more purple maybe? I love Darcey Bussel, Ascot and Munstead Woods.

Sharon thank you for your comment. I will let my mom know about this event. I am sure she would love to attend if at all possible (some times she has to work on Saturdays). I would love to go as well, but being a medical resident I am on call most weekend so I can't go that far. Maybe in a year after I am done with my career I will be able to plan and participate in a lot of rose related events.

dianela, it's funny that you wrote you'd be done with your career in a year! I think that's when it really begins. : )) Florentina is a glorious beast of a rose that climbs, but is also very bushy. I think your choice for this spot is better. However, it's a blue-red colour that complements the softer pinks and purples well and doesn't scream for attention. It seems to take a while here to get a lot of repeat bloom, but from those I've seen, it's worth the wait. Perhaps in another spot!

Ohhh lol Vapor that’s funny I just laughed at my comment, more like career studies will be over and hopefully not my real career that will just be starting. I am so glad the color on Florentina has blue and compliments the pinks ( that’s my fav kind of red). I am working in a semi-large yard that is completely wild and I think I might find a spot for a beautiful red climber like that. I have a few bright red roses in my garden, but they aren’t my favorites.

I know what you mean about the reds. I got Lady in Red climber last year, and while beautiful it does hog all the attention while in bloom. It's honestly a magnet for the eyes. I generally shoot for a little more harmony. Cori ann grew a nice smaller flowered red climber called Castro Bean climber. I think you'd be able to grow in in you climate.

I don't think Eden repeats reliably, is PIPE a sport?

My 2 year old Florentina has not bloomed yet. I think because it is in a very shady spot. I have it pillared around an obelisk in a pot.

Wow Daniela, I am so impressed you are trying to grow roses while in your residency. I had no life when I was in surgical residency. I wish you all the best in your career. These are tough times to be practicing medicine.

Thank you sautesmon for your sugestion, this one is not a rose I knew about and certainly beautiful. I will read about.

Totoro I love your garden and what you have done with Florentina and Mme Anisette. I am looking forward to seeing them bloom. WOW! I am the one who is EXTREMELY impressed knowing you did a surgical residency. Surgical residencies are the toughest out there, and I knew early on I was not cut out for it even when I loved my GYN and urology rotations. I am in my 3rd year of Pathology with one to go. Thought I would do forensics for a while, but going do surgical path instead. It has been challenging because I commute one to two hours each way to work, but overal my hours are nothing compared to what our surgical residents have to do. You are like a garden/hospital superheroe =)

totoro, Chris from Newflora said she didn't think Florentina was a good one for shade and from my experience I think that's true. I got her first great bloom last summer, but once the tree leafed out that was it. Of course she was new 2017 and not put in the ground until spring 2018, so there's that. However, she was a stellar bloomer for Cori Ann and I think she had her in full CA sun. I think you should probably get at least one flush this year, though.

PIPE is a sport that everyone seems to love. I'm not sure if it's more prolific than Eden, but it does retain its petals and has no scent just like its parent.

A couple things...several recommendations here are neither climbers or tall shrubs that could be trained as one, so do you due diligence on the research end of things! Also keep in mind that globular roses tend to have more petals and roses with more petals generally take longer to repeat. There are always exceptions, but this might make the perfect rose harder for you to find!

For a rose that I am planning on enjoying from a distance I would always prioritize selecting a lighter color because that's what will make it stand out at a distance. I think this is important because when you are looking at something from a distance what your eye picks up most of all is value and contrast between the foliage and bloom. The more contrast the more you will see it. Red and sometimes darker pinks are almost the same value as green so there is very little contrast. While they are great if you are standing right there, I find that from a distance a red or dark colored rose bush creates a blank space in the garden. Below is a b/w photo of a red rose bush so you can see what I'm saying about lack of contrast in values.

All that to say in your spot I would tend to look for a white or light colored rose with a big bloom and maybe even go for fewer petals to encourage a faster repeat.

Dianela, I am thrilled to read how well your studies are coming along, and yet, you continue to be such a modest person about your accomplishments. I could never grow a garden the way you do, and continue with demanding path studies. You go Doc. Anyway, I'd like to suggest one more rose that hasn't been mentioned yet--Brother Cadfael. He could easily satisfy your height requirements, "globs" requirement, and has a beautiful scent. He is upright and doesn't need a lattice, but you could still back him if you wanted a lattice look. OK, Bro is not perfect--I've grown him in two locations since he was introduced by Austin. My current guy is growing old (15), and he doesn't want to bloom as much, so repeat could be better. Last August, I whacked him way down (he's easily reached 9 feet in the past), and the old geezer is coming back with a vengeance--sort of like me, only I'm not so robust. My Brother is grafted on Doc Huey, and could do with a little more sun because of some partial tree shade. A few photos to follow. Diane

Happy to see you back, Diane.

Oh, I think that's the one! : ))

Dianela,just now saw. your question. Pomponella in Columbus was deeper coloured on a hot June day. Lilyfinch is the queen of Flameco Rosita. You can see her photos in some of her posts if you search.

Regarding Eden, mine was a very reliable rebloomer.

Thanks, vapor. I'm sorta back, and just struggling along. The weather hasn't been nice and cooperative, either. I can't get over all the stunning roses I see pictured on the forum this time of year. I wish we had a longer season. Hope your garden is zooming along. Diane

Thanks for saying Hi, Diane. Three steps forward, two backwards seems to be the rule. When the weather is blah here, I don't feel motivated to get out and weed. I may never feel motivated to get out and weed even on a beautiful day like today. Here's hoping.

Ohhhh Diane thank you very much for all your compliments. This forum is full of the most wonderful people and in my heart, friends. Is so much fun to see you posting again. I hope you get back to 100% in no time. I am sure the brother cant Beat you in your recovery. Who could possibly resist that incredible picture. I am going to get both lol the ancient mariner and the brother and see if he likes it here. I have another wall on the other side f the window =) (don’t tell my husband) he thinks I am done for the season. I just made it home and took pictures of my clematises and buds with my car headlights on because I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to see the garden. I’ll be back later to post more.

Sheila I hope you feel better soon and your weather improves. You have a beautiful garden and probably even your weeds are pretty.

Altorama Eden is one of the most beautiful roses out there, I ended up sending my mom one for her birthday which is next week. I’ll keep an eye on hers now. Thank you!

subk3 thank you very much for your comment. I really will take your advise and I am choosing a light colored rose for this spot.

Sheila oh, I hope you feel better soon too.

Dianela it just takes a few years to get established. I had more blooms than iI knew what to do with, in part shade!

Thank you. It must just be that in the high heat in Dayton it wasn't fragrant that day. That's good to know because that experience was the main thing that turns me off to trying to grow it.

Jude the Obscure would be my choice. Love, love, love that rose.

Subk is so right about color. I picked up some color principles from my artist mother. Put very simply, dark colors recede, and light colors advance. Another reason I picked Jude. But, after seeing Diane's Bro C photos, it's a tie.

Altorama, your beautiful Mary Rose looks exactly like my Royal Jubilee. I've never seen Mary so cupped.

Diane, we will all be scanning the online nurseries to see if Bro C is still available anywhere. Every rose in your garden is spectacular and you make us all want to grow what you grow.

Oh, Flowers, you are toooo nice. I agree that Jude is quite lovely, but he doesn't take our dry heat very well, and could rebloom more in my garden. He's an old guy, too, so probably is slowing down a bit (like his owner). I'm pretty sure Brother Cadfael is still being sold--by Austin at least, plus I think Edwards locally stocks Brother every other year or so. Diane

I agree with everyone here Jude is such a beautiful rose. I just planted one 2 weeks ago and it already has a lot of baby leaves all over. I think it is going to like it here. I placed him where I could walk by him and smell its legendary fragrance. It is always so difficult for me to choose between all these amazing roses.

I think I need more ice cream to restore my vigor. It's possible I don't like weeding.

Sheila, I'm out of ice cream right now, and really bummed. Tomorrow, I've got to fit an ice cream run in--I'm leaning toward Tillamook raspberry and white chocolate. Have you tried that one? It makes weeds go away--at least in your fantasies. Rogue grass is a bigger problem for me, and is only curable with Dove chocolate, which I just finished off. I'm in a bad way.

Dianela, I wish you the best with Jude. In my garden, he is kind of a male prima donna (primo don, actually). I'm hoping the old geezer has a few more years left in him. He nearly died from our horrible cold winter of 2016-17, which followed his best year of 2016. Diane

You are so funny! But I can totally relate. :-)

I'm afraid to get more ice cream addictions, Diane. I might stick to strawberry or coffee Haagen Dazs. I think they are two basic food groups.

Coffee sounds delicious! I'm about to hop out of bed right now and go have some! You guys are bad enough with roses now you're enabling me with ice cream. Cheese!

Vapor, cheese? Coffee ice cream sounds great--I haven't had any in years because there is so much competition in luscious flavors nowadays. Tillamook has a great strawberry and Oregon blackberry. It's Oregon ice cream, as is Umpqua. Don't you like the names of these companies? Native American names. Western Oregon is a place of Great roses and great ice cream. Sheila you must try some of the Tillamook and Umpqua flavors. Another favorite of mine, also Tillamook, is Udderly Chocolate. The name sounds like a bad joke. I got so desperate a while ago, I made some Orville Dead and Buried Kettle corn (name is a family joke; sorry to offend). It's pretty yummy with an ice cold Coke. Now I'm wide awake. Diane

Icecream is a basic necessity =). I actually had coffee icecream with my breakfast today. I hope you make an icecream run really soon Diane, I think it would help in your recovery. I love your Jude, really I love all your roses and I wish I could be your neighbor to enjoy the view and help you do all the fun garden stuff. We have gotten so much rain this year the weeds are overtaking my roses in certain areas, but I don’t feel like weeding, instead I am going to plant bulbs and ignore the rest.

Oh Diane! Voice recognition strikes again. I tried to change it and it looks like I did until I hit submit. My phone doesn't allow me to type, or rather I CAN type, but then it erases everything when I press enter. I can't edit until I'm at my laptop. : (( I meant to say Geez! However, the only Tillamook product we get here is their wonderful cheese, but then I've never looked for the ice cream! ) Also, you crack me up with your comments above. What a wit! : )

Cheez, that's nice of you vapor. I hope you get to sample some Tillamook ice cream soon. Sorry about your sadistic phone. It must be in cahoots with Houzz.

Coffee ice cream with breakfast sounds lovely, Dianela. We're having lots of rain, too, especially for a desert, though our amounts are pathetic when I compare them with other areas' rainfall. Good luck with the bulbs. Diane

Oh! It IS a Houzz thing.I'm not the only one who has the issue, but mine seems to combine all the idiosyncracies together.
