30 Roses To Start A Garden With
Susan H. Simko wrote (about ht Double Delight):
Against my better judgement and all plans to the contrary, this is the rose I just opted for to replace the chrysanthemums in my front center bed. I just couldn't resist the absolutely gorgeous picture and description of its scent and colouration changes. This despite reading that it is blackspot and mildrew prone... I hope you will let me know how this one does for you, Susan. And, I must say that it has been my experience that the roses I find most delicious are the ones that blackspot and insects seem to go for first, as well. Honestly, it is the fragrant roses that always get eaten up and blackened first in my garden--if I lapse in my spray program. I say grow what you like--or at least TRY what you like. If you then decide the rose is too much trouble, you can replace it. I have never found any of my great big blousy fragrant fussy hybrid teas too fussy to put up with. Especially since they DO "put out." G Susan - still trying to figure out where she can add more roses to her small yard without giving in and simply tilling up the grass... *laugh* Don't waste your good mind on such things! Just till up the grass! :-) s h simko at duke dot edu |
