Suggestions for hardy zone 6 climbers?
Comments (25)>And I've heard that sometimes Ghislaine de Feligonde needs spraying in certain areas. But I still think it's really pretty. I still haven't ruled it out for another empty spot in the yard. Do you grow it? Is it doing well for you? Thanks Mary. I think it would be good for your other spot too. I've been growing it (still in its original pot) for the longest time... almost 2 months now. So I'm really an expert on that rose!!! :D But anyway, so far it's absolutely perfectly healthy in maybe four or four and a half hours of midday sun here on hold awaiting planting. Perfectly healthy, in spite of the times when I've watered too late and in spite of some bits of rainfall lasting off and on all night or most of the night (like last night). It's a vigorous grower (similar to Fortuniana here bought at the same time--both in 2-gallon pots) and needs to go into the ground, but I'm not planting any of the new ones in the new spot until I'm fairly certain that the spread of RRD among the pot ghetto of new roses has stopped... and unfortunately I'm not at all certain of that at this point. My book by Barbara Wilde speculates that more people would have heard of and tried this rose if it just had some more prosiac name like "Carefree Garland." Peter Beales says "I can't think of a good reason why this rose has not gained the popularity it deserves." Beales lists it as shade tolerant enough to be planted on a north wall or northerly aspect. For me, one of the attractions for this rose is its appeal as a shrub/climber in the landscape. Fragrant prolific blooms that are cuttable are a plus. As far as no-spray goes, I'd think that the most pertinent experience would be from someone in your own area who has tried it, even though I'm seeing writers from widely different areas who think it's strongly disease-resistant. I'd also think that if someone trying it does use chemicals on other nearby plants, that that practice might have an effect on the overall health of the healthy soil balance of micro organisms that the plant depends on to make its own disease-protection systems work. Judging from the information I've seen from Paul Zimmerman, a more pertinent question for local rosarians might be about the disease-resistant conditions of the plant in year three or four of growing in a no disease spray yard, not in year one. If plants are left alone in a no-spray yard to develop their own disease resistance, it might take 1-3 years to accomplish that. But by year four, if the grower isn't feeling comfortable that its looks/health are acceptable and an asset to the yard, then you might chalk it up to a rose that doesn't meet your standards for good disease resistance and not try it, or get rid of it if you've had it that long. That said, sometimes a rose is just so disease resistant that it seems healthy from day one in an organically oriented yard. Like Mortimer Sackler, this rose might be one of those kinds. Anyway, I'm thrilled to have a Ghislaine De Feligonde and if it goes to RRD, I'll for sure be ordering it again. Best wishes, Mary...See MoreFragrant pink rose recommendation zone 6A
Comments (11)People say Duchesse de Rohan is even more fragrant than Marchesa Boccella/ Jacques Cartier. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.235357 Other people also say that it takes a while before it reblooms -- five years, according to someone on garden web. On the strength of this information, I bought one, but it is still a little band. On the other hand, Jacques Cartier is blooming for me -- it is like the ever-ready bunny. The fragrance is divine and the leaves very pretty. But in the hot weather the blooms go by in a flash. I am glad for the roses to take a rest and start up again in the fall when things get cooler. A new David Austin rose to look out for is Olivia Rose Austin, which is not available here yet. People say it could be his healthiest and most fragrant yet....See MoreClimbing rose recommendation for large container in zone 6a NY
Comments (20)Yes, and I'm not looking forward to it. But last year and the year before we got down that low -- even a touch lower, as I recall a night or two each year that dipped just below 0F -- and only two died outright. Those were 'Jaune Desprez' and "Secret Garden Musk Climber" after Winter 2013-2014. I replaced SGMC with a gallon-sized plant, and that one survived Winter 2014-2015. I gave up on the pipe dream of having a Tea-Noisette growing out in the open on my dying Japanese maple, and stuck 'Baltimore Belle' there instead. Many things had damage, but rebounded after I cut out the dead bits. Of course, the ones with little or no damage were the OGRs with little or no China/Tea in them. But even "Bermuda Spice", which had to be cut back to under 12" inches the last two Springs, rebounded to about 5' X 5' by the end of each season. I was hoping to see what it does when starting Spring with something more like 3', but this weekend may keep that from happening. Meanwhile, my potted roses look frozen in time -- few leaves dropped, but no active growth, and no discernible damage. They're hanging out in my enclosed unheated back porch, getting some sun from the windows. This cold blast is an anomaly this year, coming as a brief interruption in otherwise mild weather. I'm hoping that such a short dose of intense cold followed by temperatures in the 50s a few days later won't kill anything. The Chinas and China-Teas I planted in the ground in 2015 are mostly in a protected spot against the house and facing south. The few I put in my tiny front yard are a bit more exposed, but I planted them deeply. We'll see in just another month or so, when I start pruning. Being a zone-pusher, I realize I take risks -- but how else do we learn? And frankly, considering the more tender Chinas and Teas keep blooming through our hot and humid Summers, they're worth it. :-) ~Christopher...See MoreRose ID light pink zone 6 CT
Comments (4)I should add I did nothing for this shrub except cut it back in the spring to control its size, no water, no fertilizer, no spray. The foliage is perfectly clean, plant looks very healthy and robust. I’m going to move it to a better location....See MoreCuteleier Z6 KS

2 years agoI am not sure what zone I am in but live in Ontario, Canada about 45 km from Toronto. I fell head over heels at seeing pictures of the drop dead coral dawn pink rose online and knew as soon as I saw it had to get one of these. Sooooo figured my best bet was to go to our garden center near me. I wasn't really looking for it but another rose and saw the climbing roses and half heartedly looked at the id tags on them and like WOW!!! There was a coral dawn rose. Hahahah forget getting that other rose grabbed one of them instead. It is a move I have never regretted. When ravaged by the gypsy moth caterpillars this year I managed to stop their attack on it. Would go out every day and pick them off it. It looked like the wreck of the hesperus but realized just how tenacious it is. Has bounced back and even managed to get 2 blooms on it despite its setback. The flowers on these are drop dead gorgeous!!!!!!! And huge !!!!! Wow. Got 15 blooms on it. Said in some cases can grow up to 12 feet high!!!! Mine has shot up since I last bought it. And like oh wow I am so amazed and happy as I was out there yesterday and counted 15 buds on it!!!! Lots of new shoots on it too!!!! Think I have won the war on them. I also according to Darlene spread in a circle around the base of it crushed egg shells as they don't like crawling over them. Gets 3 HUGE blooms on each stem and one ends up having to tie them to the trellis due to being so top heavy with them!!! Here is one of it when I first planted it in 2020.
