Should I try this rose or that rose, here in New England?
Comments (8)Dollsandroses, I see on HelpMeFind that Julia is very highly rated by members. America has been a rose I noticed a long time ago and have always liked it, I will look into those two, thanks. Maureen, thanks for sharing the results of your own research. There is a lot of information out there and it certainly takes time to sort through it all, so I appreciate it. It is helpful to get a reality check. You don't want to be chasing after something that doesn't exist. Yes, I guess I would love to have something that keeps blooming until frost but I realize that there really isn't one rose that has all those qualities, but I figured it never hurts to ask. [g] I haven't spent much time over at Antiques but I plan to. I've heard of Quadra and I have seen photos Mme Plantier that I really like. Marchesa Bochella such a pretty name. I will check these out, thanks. York Rose, I think I'm going to have to do more research on the climber. I didn't realize New Dawn had a silvery sheen, never having seen it in person, Thanks. Rugosas, I would love if I were by the beach, but in my small garden, I have found shrubs that sucker to be difficult for me to deal with. I vacationed in a beach community as a child and loved the beach roses! I have had my eye on that Stanwell Perpetual and I didn't realize it repeats...I am going to have to take a good look at that, thanks, I would have zoomed past that one. It would seem the New Dawn has it's fans and then those who describe it as a monster...lol. I've heard that before lesmc. I'm still trying to make up my mind about it. Interesting that there might be different plants out there behaving differently. Consensus on the mild fragrance though. veilchen, I wish I had a wild corner on my property where I could fit some rugosas and just let them go. I have been reading lots of raves about New Dawn so it's good to hear the other side of it to get a clear picture. Thanks. You said 'mine is very vigorous'....did you mean you have the 'Teasing Georgia'? So it would seem that giving up the repeat bloom might allow me to have the rest of what I want. Maybe I can find something that repeats that I could compromise on the other traits to keep something in bloom. I like the albas. Good to know FParmentier is vigorous as well as pretty. Thanks for all the specific information, I'll keep editing my list. :-)...See MoreNew to Climbing Roses

Comments (3)Yes, most of the ramblers bloom around the fourth of July here on the Cape so a week or so earlier would be about right for Boston. If you want a really huge rambler that covers itself in flowers for several weeks 'Blush Rambler' would seem to fit the bill. Naturally, it has thorns and blooms around the fourth of July. I got mine from Vintage Gardens, although they don't list it at the moment. 'City of York' is an outstanding rambler with light yellow flowers fading to white. It gets huge and has beautiful disease free foliage. It blooms the end of June and has thorns. It is not available from Vintage at the moment but a Google search should reveal some vendors. I would grow any rose in a nursery setting for a year or so before putting it out in the landscape unless it was to get close attention with respect to pruning, watering and weeding.

Comments (14)Thanks so much for the great suggestions, some of these are new to me. I'd thought I'd share a photo of one of my favorite roses: Souvenir Madame de Leonie Viennot. It's so unusual and for now a healthy grower for a tea rose. This was my first blossom of the season. Unfortunately, it's not a repeat bloomer, but then again neither are tulips, lilies or lilacs. ;-) Here is a link that might be useful: Tea Rose: Souvenir Madame de Leonie Viennot...See MoreNikhil Kumar
