It's a little early for me to be able to compare the two as this is the first year I have Lady of Shalott. It's my third year with Teasing Georgia. So far this season, both have been very black-spot resistant, Lady of Shalott especially. And both are in their second round of bloom (we had a cold late spring so the first bloom was later than usual). In my Garden, Lady of Shalott is more apricot than orange, but she has a pale underside and a slight pink/orange edging on the petals. Teasing Georgia is more of a solid apricot for me. I don't get the triple digit temps here in Northern Michigan, but both held their blooms several days when we had weather in the low 90s. I need another year or two to evaluate winter hardiness and long-term vigor. David Austin says Lady of Shalott is one of the hardiest and easiest to grow of his roses - hope he's right. Although it may change as it matures, Lady of Shalott has more of an open vase-shaped form, while Teasing Georgia definitely wants to climb upwards (I put a pillar on her this year). Both are fragrant, but Lady of Shalott has a wonderfully sweet fruity fragrance that I love. Hope this helps you a little, dublinbay. I'll know more by next summer.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Marlorena I have no idea how to grow Lady of Shalott so I would appreciate any help. It was bare root this year. I have yet to learn to prune it for next year (usually prune in February) though for fun I did try pegging a couple of the long branches. That was interesting. Out of the curved branches tall (12 to 15 inches) straight shoots grew, and several blooms at the ends of them. I think I read about pegging on this forum or followed a link, but forget the correct terminology. I just wanted to see what would happen. Hi Cynthia in Nebraska Aw, my gardening companion is Albert. He is a bit of a rascal. He hasn't been allowed on the roof deck for most of the summer because birds have been building nests in the mixed flower pots and I didn't want to stress them with Albert roaming around. They finally left last week so Albert is now joining me outside. The birds were called Junco. I never realized how hard Mommy and Daddy birds work. They were busy! They would also sit on the rail or trellises when I was out watering and click at me but after awhile they would just watch me. This morning all I saw were two hummingbirds flying around the fuchsias. Hi Sharon2079 Please do share pictures of your gardening friend. I have a Garfield look-a-like also but he doesn't come outside. He's a bit shy. I had written in the Spring how I take care of the pots and will try to find that post and learn how to link it here.....nothing special. Other than a couple weeks of too hot I think it was just a good summer for flowers. I sure appreciate all of you taking time to comment on my few roses. I wish I had more to share but this is as far as the hose will reach! LOL!

I love bush shots also! Blooms are beautiful, but it really helps me to see shape and size!! ( I know others hate bush shots! lol) I am in SE GA, so watching yours with interest!....as soon as I win the lottery, gonna do some shopping! (what my hubby tells me...what a guy...the nerve to tell me that I had to pay bills and feed the children before my gardening habit! lol

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to ad my comments based on a three year old plant. It grows very well in my zone 7 garden. It blooms well but the flower scent is scarce. I was very disappointed since I’ve read that LOS has a wonderful strong scent. NOT SO!! At least, not in my case. It’s canes are archimy outwards to at least 8 feet, and the foliage is deer and disease proof. I too dress the plant with compost yearly but otherwise leave it alone. I would much rather have planted a different David Austin rose in retrospect (something a bit more floriferous and scented), but I’ll give it another year to see whether it improves this next year
