Tea roses are tender and may die in even in zone 6. I think you should consider once-blooming roses, like gallicas or albas which have a long and interesting history and you won't have to worry about Japanese beetles (they will be out of bloom by then). Also, no deadheading, but lots of ornamental hips. I have heard that David Austins do well in your zone, but I am not sure.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-35195498179191001632011-02-06T18:13:08.626-05:002011-02-06T18:13:08.626-05:00P.S...

We'll just have to keep trying until we find the roses that's right for our gardens.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to your garden endeavors as you and I continue to search for that perfect rose.Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-55368532137879658322011-02-06T17:05:12.291-05:002011-02-06T17:05:12.291-05:00You're welcome Jana.

I am looking to add some roses to my garden this year. I have a few but I live in the pacific northwest and our wet climate create havoc on my roses. I treat for black spot and mildew but I can never completely kick it. I am going to dig up my old roses and try some of your disease resistant varieties. The information in your post was a great help to me in planning my garden this year. Thank you so much, really, from the bottom of my heart.

I planted a small rose bed last summer and will be interested to see how it fairs after this very icy winter. <br /><br />I think the roses you mention are all good choices. You will find Knockouts the easiest to grow ... I have some, but they lack scent, which is disappointing.<br /><br />I hope your classes are going well! Thank you for your kind wishes prior to my hospital stay! I am home now and feeling well. I'll post soon.

I could use a pair like the one you featured because they go up higher on the arm. <br /><br />I have about a dozen shrub roses that are almost carefree and bloom from June until we have a very hard freeze. <br /><br />Seems like everyone around here has Knockout Roses, except me. You should probably include one of those. Your grandfather's rose is so very special and it's gorgeous. Wouldn't he be pleased to see it growing out there by your garden gate?<br /><br />Happy weekend to you, Vetsy, and thanks for being a faithful visitor to my blog.<br /><br />donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-41372175690780938882011-02-03T21:07:41.876-05:002011-02-03T21:07:41.876-05:00Thank you Heather.Thank you Heather.Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-31902400346363782302011-02-03T09:07:34.866-05:002011-02-03T09:07:34.866-05:00Great post, I need to lean more about roses... you...Great post, I need to lean more about roses... your mystery one is just gorgeous too!Heather at Dusty Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04565338162713435397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-67749822092356311642011-01-30T17:30:57.321-05:002011-01-30T17:30:57.321-05:00Thank you Joy!

I would have had it trained all over my deck rail by now but with new landscaping happening I cut it way back so I can lift it in the Spring with the other plants and resurface the soil in the raised bed there.<br />So in short I haven't had difficulties with it at all .. if you love an intense rose smell (old fashioned wonderful scent ?) I planted William Shakespeare .. I'm not a fan of David Austin roses but for this one I make an exception the scent is heavenly.<br />Morden Sunrise is a VERY easy rose with no problems .. but no real scent sadly, I love the flowers though so it is a keeper for me. I want to get "Ballerina" as a companion climber for ZD on the deck rails.<br />I also have JP Connell a soft, soft buttery yellow flower .. gorgeous ! I also have Orange Velvet Climbing rose (I keep forgetting how many roses I have !!) and it is a beauty too.<br />Too many gorgeous roses out there and I am running out of space ! haha<br />Good luck with choosing your roses there are so many great ones .. it can drive you batty ;-)<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-33201995952204095872011-01-30T13:51:36.885-05:002011-01-30T13:51:36.885-05:00Thank you Sue..Thank you Sue..Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-85130509510816002002011-01-30T13:10:24.194-05:002011-01-30T13:10:24.194-05:00Hi Vetsy,
That's a nice assortment of roses. ...Hi Vetsy,<br />That's a nice assortment of roses. I think that Belinda's Dream is my favorite. I also love the one that was your grandparents'. When I saw it, I thought, "Now there's an old rose." The blooms are so velvety and deep colored. You must have the skills to grow roses if you managed to move that one and have it do so well<br /><br />I've tried one or two roses at a time once in awhile, but didn't figure out how to keep them trimmed and shaped so they looked decent. I thought 'icicle' was going to do well, but it didn't survive its first winter. I have a small one with small flowers that does well. I'm thinking about seeing if I can root a stem this spring to get a couple more of them going. I don't know enough about roses to know if that can be done. Oh, and the miniature rose I got because my husband likes them survived last winter in its pot in our egress window well last year. I hope it does this year, too.<br /><br />I hope school is going well. I'm glad you enjoyed my bird photos. I have been asking Larry to put the fallen feeder back up. One of these times, he'll do it.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-83974783926841495892011-01-30T09:54:48.859-05:002011-01-30T09:54:48.859-05:00Thank you Maya I bet your dad grew some beautiful ...Thank you Maya I bet your dad grew some beautiful roses.

Only problem is that it does not get enough sun - so I should move it. Something attacked it this past summer, but a little environmentaly friendly spray took care of that.<br />Hope you will have time to post about your yard this year.Myahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065742730008687282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-7263296003485174462011-01-28T14:21:41.262-05:002011-01-28T14:21:41.262-05:00Thank you Bumble Lush..I'm going to try.Thank you Bumble Lush..I'm going to try.Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321669186080428842.post-77912551991762794402011-01-28T12:09:17.376-05:002011-01-28T12:09:17.376-05:00Beautiful roses!
