English Roses for MD

I'm close by (Gaithersburg). My Graham Thomas is very tall and not particularly dense. It could do with a bit more sun. If you have a good bit of space, I'd recommend planting a group of them together, perhaps two feet apart in a triangle. Then treat it like one large shrub. The color is wonderful, the fragrance is nice early and then seems to fade. (I wonder if that's a factor of the amount of sun, also?) Not a small rose. Well, hello, to a fellow Marylander. Thanks for the advice re Graham Thomas, but IMHO, a rose should be able to stand on its own merit. If I'm buying more than one GT, that's fewer different roses that I'm able to buy. And it's more $$ in David Austin's pocket so he doesn't have to breed roses that can stand on their own. Personally, I like Austin's roses. Some take a few years to get really set but I think they are pretty once established. I did like my LD Braithwaite's, and I'm looking forward to GT. David Austin just needs to have a decent enough rose to grab my atterntion. BTW - where in G'burg are you? |
