Best for Florida
Which roses are best for Central Florida? They will receive full sun in
a raised bed situation. I want to plant a red and a white behind low lying Blue Daze. Mr. Lincoln would probably be my choice for the red. Not sure about the white, or if Mr. Lincoln is compatible with Florida's weather. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Bill |

Bill I'm in Southcentral TX and plant all kinds of roses, modern and old garden, climbers, bush roses, minis. I do mostly raised beds and amend our local (fine clay) soil. My roses get sulky during our hot summers but really perk up in the spring and fall. I'm indifferent about feeding but regular about watering. I've had some of the hardiest roses succomb to ... whatever! and some of the weakest roses do well for years. My advice (until/unless some Floridian comes along to give you better advice) is to plant what you want as long as you can find it locally (or are willing to order online/by catalog) and give it good care and hope for the best.

Best for Florida
I also live on the Third Coast, near Galveston Bay, and plant roses I
like. Just purchased one each of Cl. Fourth of July, Double Delight and SunSprite. I plan to raise them in pots! I am tired of moving off and leaving beautiful roses to a strangers care! Only big problem here is mildew. That can be fixed with air flow and sunlight most of the time. I select for three things, Fragrance, Fragrance and good looks, to me. ;-) Have fun.
