I'm fairly new to roses and was wondering if someone could suggest a
variety. I am looking for a good, "Cut Rose" that I can cut and put
in a flower vase in the dining room every so often. I really dont
like to spray for black spot as often as every week. I have a hybrid
tea variety called Chilula (they were out of the Rio Samba variety -
which is what I REALLY LIKED) that i've barely kept alive in a large
pot...Im gonna have to transplant it to a better place in my raised
bed garden. I wondered if the black spot disease could be eradicated
before I transplant it... or should I trash the plant? I thought
about cutting the plant back and spraying it with a chemical that
would kill all the spores.. even thought of a 1:10 bleach solution
on the branches... I dont know... help please... I live in Texas,
near the Dallas area.

Post this question on rec.gardens. This is NG for pictures (and if you
have any, I'm sure we'd like to see 'em!)

Tropicana is a tried & true rose. It lasts in a vase & has the most
fabulous fragrance of all my roses.
You might also look at Diana Princess of Wales a new rose.

If black spot's a problem, check the variety isn't too susceptible
before buying.
You could try removing and burning the affected leaves if there aren't
too many, but if the leaves are more black than green you'll have to
accept that you can't grow that variety.

When I was young you didn't get black spot in urban areas because of the
sulphur pollution from all the coal fires - car pollution just isn't the
same.
