She actually looked good next to Munstead Wood, but I can't fine the photo.

Princess Alexandra of Kent
Comments (12)jumbojimmy, I just watched the video of the Princess Alexandra of Kent rose (could even understand it because I am from Germany ;-)). Wow, I think it did me in. What a lovely gorgeous rose. I believe, your are right there seemed to be yellow orange in the center of the blooms, they remind me a little bit of Abraham Darby, but PAoK seems to grow much more compact, which would be great. If she is healthier in terms of rust than AD she would be a real winner. It went on my wish list.

Comments (25)SJN, I have both PAK and Sharifa Asma. My temps in the summer get to be about the surface of the sun. My PAK came through like a champ. She gets full sun and is in direct line of hot afternoon sun. She also sits in front of my house which is a very creamy white. Needless to say, she gets the reflective heat off of that as well. Plus we are on water restrictions, so she only gets watered twice a week when the temps can be over 112 degrees and cools off at night to say 85 for two seconds before reaching 95 plus again. She is on her own root and this was her first year. Here are some pictures. Her flowers are gorgeous and HUGE! In cooler weather, they were bigger than my hand! She also makes a good cut flower compared to other Austins. She is one great rose! This is her in June when she was a baby. By the time December came around she was over 6 feet tall. This is a picture around Thanksgiving. Sharifa Asma is also a beauty. I do love that rose and the scent is to die for. She is not overly fond of heat however and I get about three flushes of blooms on her for the year. She doesn't produce when it is hot. I have her in full sun and I think she might enjoy a bit of afternoon shade. She stays very small and mannerly for an Austin, about three to four feet tall and about three feet wide in a well rounded bush. Let me see if I can find some pictures of her....See More2004 'AEN' Supplement Rose List Oct. 2004

2 years agoI cant agree more with Diane. PAoK is not healthy if you have blackspot and Boscobell is beautiful.
Cardin Mill: blackspot mess
Princess Margareta: gorgeous, but a blackspot mess
Chaelotte: beautiful, but a black spot mess
RD: smaller blooms but good health
Teasing G: super healthy and beautiful, but maybe too light yellow some times.
Consider Moulineaux if you havent yet.
Disregard my comments if your zone 6 does not have blackspot.
Molineaux is a deeper yellow

2 years agoCuteleir Boscobel does get some blackspot but recovers much better than PAoK in all day sun. Teasing georgia if you have the space is definetly worth growing if you have blackspot. Also Bathsheba bery healthy.
Here is one of mine no spray.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoSorry I did not label the picture. That is Teasing Georgia when she is showing more intense yellow.
Here is a closed up of Roald D
I have 3 or 4 Molineux there and they have stayed small so almost no prunning needed.I dont have a good picture of Bathsheba because she was new last year. Helen has the best looking pictures of this rose
Dwpending on teperature TG and Basheba can have similar colors
