Comments (18)the source for your New Dawn plants is irrelevant. New Dawn is a sport, a mutation, of Dr. Van Fleet. Their primary difference is New Dawn is supposed to repeat, the parent doesn't. Sports revert back to their original forms. If the grower who produced the plants for Austin collected a reversion, and there would be no way for them to know unless they policed the plants to make sure the wood they collected was from repeating canes, or they grow both versions and accidentally switched them, you'd end up with a once flowering plant. The Austin nurseries contract grow, they pay others to produce the plants they sell, so they would have no idea whether it's the right rose or not. Just one more reason to avoid New Dawn unless you live where you must have its cold hardiness. There are plenty of others which are vastly superior plants and rebloomers.

Comments (24)Nippstress, I grew Bad Worishofen in Alabama; what a sweet little rose. Most of my roses have not started blooming yet or the early buds have been eaten by the rats with long legs and flat teeth - but among the ones that are there that I make a beeline for every day just to see them again Wasagaming, a rugosa/bourbon hybrid, fragrant, heavy bloom ... Till Uhlenspiegel, a five petaled hybrid eglantine with a reddish/pinkish bloom. The bush is three years old now and has had a pretty good bloom this year. I can't wait until it is mature and covered with those blooms of such a striking color, So healthy, no foliage issues at all for me. Purple Skyliner, this rose is three now and just covered with small purple blooms and buds. My three Louise Clements are in a small hedge in front of PS. One of them has a a tangeriney-orange bud. I dream of when the three Louise Clements will be mature enough to have a full flush at the same time the PS is in bloom. Yumm, one day, I hope. For now, I love looking at the one bud and the Purple Skyliner blooms. Sibelius - love the shrub form and the multitudes of blooms it is covered with. Belle de Crecy - I cut three and put in a blue and white vase with some dark purple columbine; I just love it. That shrub is so generous a bloomer. Mousseline - this reblooming moss rose is covered with blooms. It is three now and I think should bloom off and on all summer. Ask me again my favorites when Heritage finally gets some blooms, when Munstead Wood blooms, when the rest of the gallicas and Henri Martin Bloom. Georges Vibert should bloom for the first time. And alba maxima should bloom soon; I love that rose. Okay, I am stopping now. But here's Wasagaming...See MoreBest fragrant roses for zone 5?
Comments (24)Lol, this so many wonderful selections I'm having a hard time picking! I found a 3 gallon America rose at a private nursery, I remembered the name from this thread and it was the only fragrant rose in the lot, so I went for it. It has a lovely salmon pink color that turned out to be a great compromise between the decking and white building. The clematis Perle d' Azur is trained up the wall and the rose went in front of it next to a Clematis Arabella intended to scramble trough the border. What surprised me was how much clay I found about 2 feet down while back digging the bed. I dunked two bags of mushroom compost and mixed it up with two bags of fine gravel and one bag of sand but I'm kind of worried about what will happen to the root a few years down the line? Any predictions? Is this enough amending ? I left the hose on to soak the bush, a small trickle for about 45 mins, and when the bed was over flowing I turned it off and it took about 25 mins for the standing water to drain away. This was after I had replaced about 8'x2'x2' of the old dirt. Anybody with more experience who can give me more insight on how this will play in to it's health? There's a few spots on the leaves that I suspect is the dreaded blackspot. I live inland, due west of Chicago, so not exactly coastal climate but still lots of humidity in the summer. I made sure to clear about a foot between plant and wall and also at some distance from where another rosebush been before, I cleared about 2 feet from the original site but I essentially replaced all the dirt as well. I made sure of sinking the bush level with the dirt in the pot per instructions. As far as I could discern, it's not a grafted plant, I felt up the trunk all the way down the to the ball of dirt and felt no bump. I'm very drawn to the Romantica and English roses and am interested to learn more about the two series, My new Colette is coming in this weekend with a Stormy weather who's supposedly a purple rose. These will be my trial experience before I commit to a full rose garden. I understand ramblers only bloom once, no? How do I know the difference between a rambler and a climber? What is the difference between a Grandiflora and a Wicheriiana? My roses must be of the resilient kind and besides generous amounts of mushroom compost and a good trellis will have to fend for themselves. No spray, no chemicals. I'm staying clear of any grafted stock and no Tea roses. What would be the best US purveyors of either the Romantica or the English series? Is it possible to buy rootstock older than a year trough mail order? Also, can anyone advice me on good online sources for reading up on the different categories ? I'd like to hear from someone who grows the Zepherine Drouhin, Queen of Sweden, or the Polka in zone 5. My priorities are as follows: Repeat bloom, disease resistance, fragrance, cut life, color... God bless and thank you! Kerstin...See MoreAny success withStormy Weather climbing rose in zone 4?
Comments (76)Eden has stiff canes similar to William Baffin, the best I could do was train it at a 45 degree angle , I think it was too stiff to do anything else with. Darlows Enigma is a hardy shrub/climber for me, hardy to the tips. Starts blooming for me around this time with dark red new foliage. Repeat bloomer, sets hips for winter interest, very fragrant but probably the worst thorns ever. The blooms are single and white. Another very hardy climber for me is Seafoam, this rose will do whatever you want it too do. Starts blooming around now and goes well into the fall,no fragrance but that's OK because it has exceptionally healthy,dark foliage. The blooms are white, a little pink in thefall. I have another hardy rambler called Ghislaine de Feligonde. This reblooms for me, if I deadhead. Some people on the forum says theirs repeats and others say theirs doesn't. This thing is a MONSTER for me, and hardy to the tips even after this last winter. Blooms are yellowish to pink, very pretty. As far as structures go, they are always iffy for me. Eventually the older, thicker canes of the rose are what I tie the new shoots to. For additional color for my once bloomers I either plant clematis, liatris,daises or any tall perennial. Oh I also have Veilchenblau, it has always been hardy to the tips. Young canes are easy to train if you get there soon enough. Once bloomer, but when it blooms there are so many you can't even see the foliage. Orange hips in the fall, leaves turn a nice yellow than as well. Semi double blooms, every shade of purple, will get as large as you let it. It's practically thornless. Honestly winter protection is a gamble for me, some people bury the canes in the winter, I did this once and the rose got canker. It's just too much trouble. If I had a rose I loved with questionable hardiness, I would plant it close to the house where it would not be subject to northern winds....See MoreCrazyabout Roses

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoYesterday I asked a rose grower in zone 7a about Nahema and both her full sun and partial shade Nahemas are wimpy (18" tall). My own-root Nahema was less than 1 foot tall after a few zone 5 winters. The only person who posted tons of blooms Nahema is Tahir Khan in Pakistan which grows it as grafted on centifolia (very aggressive root), but even Tahir Khan mentioned that it's essentially a spring flush, and not much afterwards.
James is 10 times more generous than A. Shropshire Lad (died through 2nd winter, gave me only 2 blooms for spring flush at less than 1 foot tall). A. Shropshire Lad is WIMPIEST rose among my 145 own-root roses!!
James Galway is 6th-year-own-root. It's done with 2nd flush (about 10 blooms). The spring flush was much better at 40+ blooms. James can get over 15 feet tall, mine is in 4 hrs. of morning sun. Below pic. is James spring flush this year:
Below pic. is James' 2nd flush end of August, fewer blooms (about 10), but larger blooms which I like better. I take 10 blooms in 4 hrs. of sun anytime (less watering and deadheading).
