Sorry if this duplicates, I can't find the previous post I made the other
night and my usenet provider is flaky at times.

In any event, I was looking through a rose bush that had a couple photos of
moss roses, it didnt give me any real information just some great looking
pictures and that the scent of the blooms is mixed with the scent of pine of
the moss and that it's heavenly.

So, does anyone have these in their yards? If so are they hardy and disease
resistant? I live in Zone 08a


I have several moss roses including "Salet" and several "found" moss
roses. They are all hardy and fairly disease resistant. Please keep
in mind that they bloom only in late spring and early summer.

The piney/peppery scent from the moss is particularly strong in
"Salet."

They are easy roses. Give them plenty of sun, water and a good
balanced rose
fertilizer, and they will produce loads of bloom.
