Several Roses looking for good home
Comments (23)I never cease to be amazed at what difference a few miles can make in what roses one can grow 'no spray'. Just for instance, I can grow Belinda's Dream, Marie Pavie and Pat Austin here no-spray. I have very little if any leaf loss on these roses. Olga, I wish so much that you could keep all of your roses. You garden is a delight to behold. (I would list all the roses I grow no-spray, but over the years I have seen that we are in two different BS climates) Good luck on the no-spray garden. I find I have more time to enjoy my roses without the burden of spraying. I am hoping you will find the same. One thing I am certain of....your garden will remain a paradise.

Comments (16)Hmmm, bman1920 said "purple" and "Gallica" in his original post, but I see we have wandered far afield, and so I'll add a couple more suggestions. I like the idea of purple roses too, but there are also Gallicas that start out purplish pink and then age purple-lavender-gray, and that are good. 'De la Maitre-Ecole' (the name has variations) is very good, with large fragrant blooms and a sturdy grower--it does sucker--and a favorite of mine, which might require better treatment than some, is 'Ypsilante', with big scented velvety flowers. I wish this one WOULD sucker. Actually I have met very few Gallicas I didn't like, and most of the medium- and darker-hued ones lean to purple or lavender at some stage of bloom development. Leaving Gallicas behind, a rambling rose I like, even though it's scentless, is 'Rose Marie Viaud'. This has little double blooms the shape and color of a Parma violet. I'm currently trying to figure out a place for mine where it won't die of chlorosis. Oh, and finally, two purple Mosses: 'William Lobb', very tall, vigorous and obliging, and 'Capitaine John Ingram', low-growing and Gallica-like, the flowers little velvet purple rosettes with a button eye and a smooth lavender reverse. Both fragrant, of course. Melissa...See MoreExperiences cultivation in zone 8/9 of these 8 roses ramblers
Comments (41)nikthegreek, I am sorry. I try to translate what you have written with Google translator but I can not understand the question. Sorry to not speak English. I'm not sure what you're asking. Tell me that even if there have not sprouted roots of the rose variety the bush will grow its base with more shoots? Well, I do not know how to respond to this. My rose bushes quickly emit roots of the rose variety. The stems that come from the soil are not suckers, they do not leave the rootstock. They leave the rosewood variety. My pretension (because I like aesthetically and because neither my climate nor my soil I believe that make necessary to grow roses with rootstocks) is that, the base is wider. I aesthetically like a rose like that. If I had problems with my nematodes in my soil, or my frost was very deep, so as to specify some varieties of rose that grow in rootstocks ... Then I would consider this system. But is not the case. I can not find any reason to grow my roses in rootstocks (I repeat, with my climate and with my soil). On the contrary I am enthusiastic about the rose bushes with many stems from below and on the contrary I find horrible and artificial shrubs that all its structure leaves a single point on the ground. Also, I think they are more unstable when the wind blows. I do not know if I understood your question well. If not, I beg you to formulate it again. I will try to translate with Google ....See MoreRambler rose questions
Comments (10)Sheila- This wall is white and bare with only a window. It is just missing something. I chose to just add some roses rather than add something like shutters. Freestanding would be nice but I want to take up some space up top. Yardvaark- Thank you so much for taking the time to draw that out. I actually hadn't though of a trellis of any sort because my mind went straight for the old school crosshatch type of trellis you see at the box stores, and I didn't want that. Your design is perfect, and we actually have some cedar beams/posts in front of our home, so this design using cedar would just be perfect. If all of the wood is covered in foliage and blooms, that is great. But during the more bare times, there would still be a nice wood structure to look at. I showed my husband and he said he we could get it done this weekend. Perma n’ Posies- It is actually a wall facing SW. We are in the woods with lots of tall pines other trees around, so while it does get pretty hot, the hottest sun is usually dappled by trees. I think that helps a lot. The rose to the left side of the window was doing great then lost all of its leaves during the hottest part of the summer and struggled. Hopefully getting them off of the hot brick with some air circulation around would be helpful. I am determined to get them settled in and thriving. Fingers crossed that they can survive in this spot. dianela7bnorthal - The brick clips are really great, but it really limits what and where I can attach. I had difficulty getting them on my brick and had to grind mortar out here and there. Then I can attach plants to them. Then as the plant grows, it really needs to be attached somewhere else, so I am adding another clip, trying to attach 2 canes per clip so I don't have a ton of clips everywhere, which doesn't work well and keeps the canes close together. I think this trellis idea would be much better! Thank you so much everyone! I will take some before and after pics to share and post them soon....See MoreD D
