best roses for Albuquerque, NM

Albuquerque is in the high desert, at about 5000 feet. It's DRY here, above 90 in summer, but down to 60 at night. I think that the summer weather is prone to mildew. Anybody have any ideas? Is there still a Southwest(ern) Rose Society? Better than that. There's Mack's rose site, a rosarian guy in Socorro who grows lots and lots of roses. http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mstephen/ros99.htm I figure if he can grow roses there, you should be able to do the same kinds of things in Albuquerque. Of course, he has a big ditch to irrigate from. -- -=- Cass Zone 9 San Francisco Bay Area http://home.attbi.com/~cassbernstein/index.html |

Am waiting for another Dr. Brownell, another Sunsprite, another Paul McCartney, Barbara Streisand, Amalia, some kinda 'Autumn' gd climber, and Fire Meidelland. That oughta do me. I think I'm most excited about the clitoria in the greenhouse though. I broke the first one that popped out, really pistmeov. But anyways, Happy Spring, Cass. m |

Am waiting for another Dr. Brownell, Didja kill the first one? I'm about to lay good money on the line for that one for someone who's listened to you, so if it croaked on its own, we need to know so we can buy something better. another Sunsprite, which taught me a thing or two about pruning this year. I BR'd mine to redecorate, and I'll be damned if it doesn't look soooo much better after the vicious attack of cutting all the canes back to about a foot. another Paul McCartney, Barbara Streisand, Amalia, some kinda 'Autumn' gd climber, and Fire Meidelland. That oughta do me. I think I'm most excited about the clitoria in the greenhouse though. I broke the first one that popped out, really pistmeov. But anyways, Happy Spring, Cass. And it's going to be an early one here. Safrano is already covered, as much as it ever does, along with Fortune's Double Yellow. Making that pilgrimage to the Vintage Gardens FDY today, might ask to steal a cutting because theirs is better and different from mine, http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ecbernst...AY/26Mar03.jpg |

The Star Roses sites has a rather dark picture, but all the descriptions sound pretty neat. Hmmm ... From where are you getting this? And also, why aren't you getting Fuschia Meidiland? It is darn pretty - and since it is mauve, you can call it a coffee rose, no? I want them both, I think. Better than grwoing miniatures ... -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |
