New Rose Garden
"MJC" wrote in message
... Thank you to everyone for your advice and suggestions. Here is a list of the roses I have picked out. Do any of you have experience with any of them? I know that the Tropicana is a little touchy but I have had one before so I think I will be fine. "Let Freedom Ring" Red "Electron" Pink "Mellow Yellow" "Tropicana" "Peace" "Love and Peace" "Full Sail" white "Perfect Moment" "Medallion" peach MJ I have Peace, Love & Peace, and Perfect Moment. None are what I would call outstanding landscape roses (at least, not in my local conditions), but all have beautiful blooms and I'm glad to have them, even if I do worry they're going to die on me at any moment. As someone else suggested, you might also look at the Austin roses. I've had several varieties NOT do well, but Pat Austin (as one example) is one of my best (healthiest, prettiest) bushes.

Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 Keep in mind the climate that the David Austin roses were developed in and for, the British Isles. I love Pat Austin, Graham Thomas, Golden Celebration and Abraham Darby. They all do well in my zone 5 climate. A modern classic that has one drawback, mildew!!! TOUCH OF CLASS (HT) I know it sounds like a broken record: "Contact your local rose society for recommendations" www.ars.org and find a local society. Tim |

New Rose Garden
Ideas you might consider;
Color: Grouping seems to have greater impact than mixed planting. Fragrance: A GREAT added benefit from beautiful roses. Size: Planning pays, don't have a big rose up front obscure your smaller ones. Spacing: Good spacing keeps many ills at bay. Air flow stops mildew. Type: Many or few, Three Mr. Lincolns in a grouping is to die for! Loose, well watered compost rich soil and you are home free ;-) JTillery |
