Healthiest of the Super Fragrant Roses?
Comments (31)Hi. I can't check in here as much as I'd like to but I had to hop on a fragrant rose discussion! :) I do not care for the tea fragrance myself - I prefer damask rose and sweet rose fragrances. Our climates are different - BS is the plague of my humid Maryland garden. I grow the following HT's on your list and you've picked some fantastic fragrant HTs but I can't comment on disease resistance in your climate. You should order them anyway - just to smell. : ) Halloween - more fruity than rosy Papa Meilland - super rosy - must get! Radiance - smooth rose A+ for disease resistance, but can ball September Morn - powdery rose Sutter's Gold - fruity Talisman - fruity Oklahoma - Papa's fragrance is stronger and better IMHO Alec's Red - spicy rose The Doctor - this one is not grown much but what an amazing scent - yowza mega fruity rose, but very prone to BS in my garden MMe. Jules Bouchet is doing very well in my garden - Vintage says she's a doer in every way - you might want to consider this rose and see how it does no spray. Amazing fragrance. Regarding marie pavie and brown leaves - My MP did the same, but I discovered it was spider mites - they really like MP. Blast the suckers off with water and watch the plant thrive. Maybe the thread discussing this is still searchable? Have fun! Here is a link that might be useful: Jules...See MoreHelp! My garden is a disaster for roses and I'm a sucker for puni
Comments (10)Some posters from your area will probably come along and give you some good advice, but in the meantime, let me get you started. If you are not going spray, then you are going to have to search out the roses that are very disease-resistant. That includes roses like Knock Out--which is why it is doing fine. I haven't grown most of the roses on your list, but I have seen roses like zephirine drouhin and abraham darby on blackspot magnet lists. In other words, don't even try to grow them if you aren't going to spray. Two things you can do now. 1)Check out the thread I started tonight about "Year-end Review: What are you Blackspotters" (or something like that). You don't want to grow any of those roses. 2) Go to the search box at top or bottom of the page and type in "disease resistant" or "blackspot"--that should call up dozens of threads talking about what roses you should or shouldn't be growing. And yes, there is hope for you. Since you are already becoming obsessed with roses (like the rest of us), just continue on learning more about roses, and you too can develop a lovely garden of roses--I promise you.

Comments (28)It is tough, tough, tough to find a rose that stays @ 3' in California. I've grow maybe 500 different cultivars over the past 20 years and can think of maybe 4 or 5 that have stayed short. What is listed as 3' in the Austin catalog (as an example) is 6' here. 'Bolero' was 2-3' for a good number of years, but is creeping upwards to 5', I've been cutting it back to 3', which it doesn't seem to mind. 'Twilight Zone' seems to be staying short. 'Golden Buddha'. 'Julia Child' can be kept to 3' and is a good bloomer. 'International Herald Tribune'--that one would be worth looking. Jeri in Ventura County grows that and has often said it is compact, clean, and blooms generously....See MorePaul Barden's Crested Damask
Comments (12)I hope you don't mind me sharing this on your thread Carol, I thought it appropriate to place it here, but I have a couple of young Moss roses, I'm not familiar with them really, others will obviously be, but here is a photo from today which I rather like. Maybe a ''bad hair day'' compared with Mr Barden's rather exotic creation, but this will do for me.. 'Mme. de la Roche-Lambert'.. I'm delighted to get buds in the first year on this rose.....See MoreK S 7b Little Rock (formerly of Seattle)
