OK, the jury is back and those 4 twigs I was worried about are definitely
dead. I need replacements which I promise to plant deeply enough to prevent this from happening again. Here's the question. I have a long border bed out front up against a short hedgerow. In it I have 4 Mr. Lincolns that are very happy, from the previous owner, who had nothing but red out there...I was bored so I took the opportunity to plant some HT fragrant, saturated coloured roses. So far I've managed to kill many of them...Moon Shadow, Perfect Moment, Double delight, Chicago Peace....some other's I can't even remember. A few have decided to live despite my interference...Henry Fonda, Midas Touch, Tropicana, Fragrant Cloud, and now I have room for 4 more prisoners. I apparently have this highly clashing thing going on here and I'm starting to hate it. I originally thought I could get a spectrum effect...it didn't look as good as I imagined it might. Of course, the other colours never really produced anything to look at, but I'm willing to move any of the roses elsewhere for the sake of better design. Any suggestions for attractive HT roses to work in my climate, and with my survivors? I'm in Maryland, in 6b where it's wet and colder than it should be. I like fragrance and high chroma. I promise to adhere to better rose care...honest. Thank you, Jane |

This probably sounds like a broken record.
Find and contact your local Rose Society and see what they recommend, they have a huge collective base of experience and are happy to help. There are four Rose Societies in MD listed on the ARS web site www.ars.org. Most of the varities you mentioned are modern Hybrid Teas, would you consider some of the OGR's, English or Canadian varieies? Many of these are very hardy and offer execellent garden performance.

White & Red go great together.
Try Gloire Lyonnaise. Absolute shrubbiest disease and shade resistant White I've tried. Or an even more obscure but fabulous choice Bubble bath. Hardy & shade resistant. How about that old staple Alba Meidiland. Tough as Nails and Bulldozer Resistant. I'm not kiding. I saw it @ a construction site3 years ago where It was trampled down every day by said bulldozer for 6 months. But I went back last week and it was again a 6' shrub getting ready to bloom. Or Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria Vigorousness and Smell that will knock you out. Or can't fail with Darlows Enigma. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Jane" wrote in message et...

Jane has OGRs. I think she was hoping to hear from some people living in MD and growing roses. Kind of what Usenet is about--talking about stuff. |

Bubble Bath is a modern Hybrid Musk. Apparently Cecile Brunner is a parent. They say it is pink but really in any sort of heat it is white. Extremely shade tolerant. I have it growing where it gets 1 hour of sun. Still blooms non stop but covers itself about twice a year. Smell that will stop you from twenty paces. Rogers has it in their catalogue. Vintage has a picture. Darlows is indeed a single but since it tends to bloom in clusters all you see is bouquet after bouquet. And the scent Mmmmmm! What do you think of Gloire Lyonnaise. It was one of the first/early hybrid teas so it retains much of the vigor and relatively clean performance of that time. I know you love White Lightnin' you will love this one. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Shiva" wrote in message s.com...

Thanks Tim, I appreciate the link.
I like the HTs the best in the front bed, for uniformity sake but I enjoy the others in different areas. Thanks, Jane "Tim Tompkins" wrote in message ... This probably sounds like a broken record.

Theo, Thank you very very much. Just what i needed to get investigations
going. I like the idea of white and red out there. I think the Alba Meidland looks like my fav so far, but it's not a HT and I was hoping to keep them all together. Where can I find the Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria? I'm sure I'll need several! Is it at all resistant to disease? I understand it's an old HT. I love the form!
