David Austin vs. Hybrid Teas
I've been growing HT roses exclusively for many years, and am
considering adding some David Austins for the first time. I was wondering how the two types of roses compare in terms of reblooming? My understanding is that I will get many fewer roses each year from David Austins then I will get from a HT. Is that correct? Thanks Gary Cahn |

I have 150 roses, about 2/3 modern (FL, HT, grandiflora, David Austin & other "shrubs"), the rest antiques, and I haven't done careful (scientific) observation but ... My "Pat Austin" reblooms at least as often as most of my HT & other moderns. My "Teasing Georgia" has incredible blooms. I think it repeats a lot, but it's a large bush so it's hard to tell. Other Austin roses don't bloom as much. It's hard to make such generalizations about an entire class of roses. I have a Bourbon ("Souvenir de la Malmaison") that reblooms more than some of my moderns, yet other Boubons bloom little. If you like a particular David Austin rose, why not try it?

David Austin vs. Hybrid Teas
I'm not very good with roses, but my Graham Thomas rosebush is bigger than
any other 4 of them put together. As for bloom, if we get adequate rain, it does not really stop blooming all summer. (I'm on a well with sandy soil, so watering can be problematic.) What is gardening, after all, except one really long experiment? Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "Gary Cahn" wrote in message ...

Your "Looking for a power sprayer" has been closed so I will answer
here. "O" rings are VERY standard. Search your Yellow Pages for "O" rings, Seals, or "Parker" O rings, or Grainger.com or GOOGLE McMaster-Carr or go to mcmaster.com and you can find tons of the things. Measure, with a ruler that has sixteenths markings, the inside and outside of the cavity your ring fell out of and buy that ring. It will be 1/8" diameter or 1/16", buy one of each. Or take your sprayer to Grainger or some similiar commercial parts supplier in your town and they will fit it for you. It will cost less than one dollar. If you need further help leave another reply here. Joe Till Houston |

I certainly agree with the "really long experiment". Several of my friends think I have a green thumb, despite my pointing out frequently that I have tried many different types of plants and even rose varieties that failed, and stick with those that do well despite my "attentions". I've had really good luck with several English roses, not too good with other English roses - namely Symphony, which has a gorgeous butter yellow bloom but is a weak plant (both copies). One my local nurseries that carries a lot of roses really like the Austins for our area - hot, with lots of sun. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |
