I cut back my ZD hard when I had my fence replaced recently and it doesn't seem to be showing any new growth.Are there others which are thornless? I'd like to put another rose further along the fence. I don't grow anything with thorns, so no other roses, and now with failing sight it's even more important to me to have one without thorns but with scent. Any ideas? I've got a 'Kathleen Harrop' which is a paler pink sport of ZD. I grow it over an arch and, given my unfavourable sandy soil, it does well. It's also thornless and has a good scent and repeat flowers. The only drawback is that it does suffer a bit with the dreaded black-spot most years unless sprayed. Hi Sue, thanks. I think Kathleen Harrop is one a friend mentioned to me a while ago. Paler pink with good scent sounds jjust what I'm after. ZD is a bit garish. Pam in Bristol |
