Seeking zone 6ish container rose for all day sun-Roses Unlimited sale
Comments (15)To echo Jeri's comments, I don't think Sophie's Perpetual is a good fit for zone 6-ish. I put a free one from the Rogue Valley mystery roses into my virtual zone 6 pocket in my yard, and it sort of limped by after a very mild winter last year and totally disappeared this year. I think it's marginally hardy in zone 6, and better in zone 7.If it's in a container, you lose a virtual zone of winter protection and so you'd be a virtual zone 5 in a pot and not a good fit for Sophie's Perpetual. Pink Pet is the only China-type rose that survives well for me, but it's more of a Polyantha than a China in effect and it doesn't climb or get much beyond 3-4' for me. If you're looking for something from the RU sale that would climb well in zone 5, Awakening is rock solid hardy and has lovely pink flowers. It blooms just fine in part shade, and the only concern might be that it gets too big for even a half whiskey barrel. Mine was pretty thorny too. Among hybrid musks, only Lavender Lassie would be reasonably hardy in zone 5 and it would be a good fit for part shade. the mini climber Jeanne LaJoie survives fine in a typical zone 5 winter and is a much better fit for a pot. I think she'd do OK in part sun, though any rose blooms less in part sun. Antique 89 and Harlekin are both nicely hardy but they do die to the ground in my zone 5 and they only bloom sporadically in the year for me. Mine aren't particularly happy in part sun. Viking Queen survives fine in zone 5 but seems to die to the ground each year so you wouldn't necessarily get a ton of bloom. Veilchenblau would be an absolute trooper and climb or bush out huge in no time, and it's in dry shade under my oak tree. It's a once bloomer but gorgeous lush blooms for several weeks once established - here's mine in more or less full bloom with an admiring bunny that my daughter pointed out: Purple Splash and Stormy Weather both seem to survive OK in zone 5 and regrow from the ground reasonably well, so they'd be worth a try if you want the purple striped climbers. I haven't overwintered Quicksilver yet but the odds are good that it will be a good one for winter survival, being a Kordes. Paulspride is the only other rose listed as a climber on the RU sale that survives the winters well for me. Ghislaine Feligonde comes back reasonably well but it has tiny while flat blooms that aren't the attractive shapes others have, and I'm wondering if mine is the correct ID. Among the Austins, most of them are hardy but the ones that tend to be climbers on the RU sale list are the ones that survive the least for me - I can't keep Golden Celebration overwintered, nor Strawberry Hill or James Galway. Lady of Shalott is rock solid hardy as is Scepter'd Isle, Carding Mill and Heritage, but they get at most 5-6' tall by the end of spring since Austins rarely have surviving cane for me. Crown Princess Margareta is a climber and hardy, but I never get blooms from mine without surviving cane and it never has any. Rebecca in zone 5 has tons though and lovely blooms from hers. For other OGRs, Baronne Prevost and Mme. Isaac Periere are both fully hardy here, though BP would be better for a pot. She does Ok in part sun for me but would bloom more in sun. MIP prefers sun and doesn't bloom on new wood for me, so I don't get much bloom most years. Among shrubs, Alchymist is very hardy but a once bloomer. Autumn Sunset would survive fine in a pot and climbs well, but blooms very little in part shade for me. Belinda's Dream would survive fine and seems OK but not happy in part sun. Dames des Chenonceau is totally hardy and in my top 20-30 of roses I grow, and can be spectacular in part sun. As you move into part shade though, I'm not sure how well she'd do. Morden Sunrise is totally hardy and would be very pretty in this context, and White Meidiland would be a low-growing spreader in white and also very hardy. Among the RU sale roses, those are the ones I'd recommend for what you're asking. I'm all in favor of taking advantage of the RU sale!!

Comments (3)Hi! In all my years of ordering from them , I do not think so. I think she just makes a list of what she probably has a lot of or maybe what are older plants that they need to get out of pots. It's always a long list but sometimes I'll add a rose not on sale and she's had that in stock too. :)...See MoreRoses Unlimited summer sale June 19 through June 30
Comments (100)I think it the "crushing" of the boxes must have happened in the first distribution center, since we all come from different areas in the US and all have the same damage to our boxes. I planted all 12 yesterday and they look healthy and big, even Artistry doesn't look too bad. I was worried that it was the rose I really was looking forward too, because I always have that "luck" that something I really want is either the only one that is out of stock or the only one that's small/damaged/DOA when I open the box. These are for sure the last roses I order this summer, it is super hot here in MN and that takes the fun out of planting. Now I can sit back, somewhat, and enjoy my roses :)...See MoreRoses Unlimited summer sale 6/10 to 6/23 at $14 per gallon
Comments (41)Straw - you seem to be able to overwinter more roses than I can in my zone 5 with your better snow cover, but in my experience Lemon Spice is not remotely hardy and I can't pull it through in my most protected spot. I had one Firefighter that I kept for several years but I have had trouble overwintering a replacement. Still I'd rate that one as much more robust than Lemon Spice in my yard. For the others, GFT is rock solid hardy and a good bloomer, Stephen's Big Purple has survived in my protected area, America didn't survive but it was a body bag, Danae won't survive my winters, and Moonlight Romantica is on its third try to survive my winters. Just my experience with these - you know that I'm no help on scent as I can't smell most roses. Cynthia...See More

last yearlast modified: last yearkathyc_z10 That must have been disappointing. I did wonder how shipping this time of year in the heat would affect the roses. Maybe it saved you some trouble to not get them this time.
I read the list and was tempted, but then thought I would rather pay full price next Spring to get a few exceptionally rare beautiful ones I have wanted that were sold out.

I haven't bought any Barni roses yet, but sure intend to after researching what RU has.
The photo of Stile 800 is not mine, it's from the internet . Stile is one of the Barni roses I'm considering ordering in Fall. This is another photo of the same rose, it's quite changeable.
DON'T LOOK portlandmysteryrose,
Oh , too late.

Then again someone might want to make absolutely sure they don't see this post.

Do you have AdeMolene, or plan to buy it ? I wish someone would give an update how it performs. A forum member thought it was a weak grower. I don't really mind, as long as it doesn't outright die.
Antico Amore is another Barni that RU carries,
I'll have to email Pat sometime after her sale is over to ask questions about the ones I am tempted to get next Fall. She will know if my location is too cold. You probably have a much better home for them.Is it terrible of me to have just planted my last order and be hunting for more already ?
