black roses question
Sure is amazing what you find growing even in a city suburb. I have spotted the following growing in various spots in KC. R. Arkansana, R. Nutkana, R. Setigera, R. Laevigata and my find of finds R. Ptercantha no less growing in a church side lot incredibly, doing amazingly well too. So does r. setigera nice looking in person? Or a typical species, not really that good? The only species rose I really want to grow some day is r. soulieana. Setigera tends to sprawl a bit. Also suckers like crazy. It believes in walking across the nation. It gets high 6' +. It very popular for weekend cottages in the Ozarks 'cos of its loong bloom cycle May to July in some cases. Last month I planted Soulieana, Eglanteria Glauca, Mulliganii & Brunonii on my friends farmhouse. She is battling the rabbits right now. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City |
