Hybrid Teas - No Way!

What are you getting?

You bad!

Our own root Mr Lincoln has been BS resistant since 2010 in a no spray situation ... (Scratching head)...lol
So anythings possible! Best of luck with your new Hybrid Tea rose next year!

I'm ashamed, can't you tell?

I broke the rule and I did it Big Time.

Let's put it this way, if it's pink, a hybrid tea, and currently offered by Chamblee's, then it will be in my own root no spray garden next year.

One I've wanted since I first read about it in 2012, and then I read the (I assume: grafted) confirmation in the thread below.

One already has 66 favorite votes on HMF and it's only about 7 years old.

One looks like, well - a real hybrid tea blossom

BUT remember, I'm zone 9. My Kordes roses I already have are doing very well, but I have no idea how they'd do in zone 10.

jim1961,

Thanks and I understand. Of that "family" I had tried 'Oklahoma.' I got it as a band (I should call it a microband because I've never before or since received such a small own root plant). It's the only rose that died for me here in FL. I was actually quite relieved because it would have taken a century (pardon the exaggeration) to amount to anything.

That's great, glad you found some roses you love. I love Chamblees, I live 3 hours from there and made a trip last spring for my roses and will be making another trip before the end of next March. I have my eye on a few of the Kordes roses but haven't made up my mind on which ones yet.

boncrow66,

I think it's alameda (or a similar spelling) that also lives close. She writes that by going to the store her roses are larger sizes than what the rest of us can get mail order.

If that's the case, I'm very happy for your good fortune.

Congrats either way.

You should be ashamed sandandsun... lol ;-)

I have nothing against any type rose. Different strokes for different folks and all that good stuff...

I'm going to try some Kordes roses next year myself...

jim1961,

I'm not ashamed of getting hybrid teas that have good blackspot resistance reports. And I'm not really "ashamed" at all, the word is an exaggeration of my embarassment that I couldn't keep from buying MORE PINK roses.

I think I'll manage to get over it - somehow, lol.

Lol, you all are funny. love hts here in this semiarid climate--don't have to spray here. thanks for todays fun here on gw rose forum! :)

So you are falling for the BS resistance hype?

You should be ashamed.

ps i ordered 4 roses from palatine. hts of course! They are barkarole, gemini, rainbow niagra, elina aka peaudouce hehe :)

I ordered Gemini and Rainbow Niagara too. I'm getting back into HTs, but I will spray.

Pink is a beautiful color :)

I like the form of HTs. They are beautiful! I also exhibit so you really have to have HTs in your garden to do that seriously. But I've found over the years that I've fallen in love with all the different forms out there too. So my garden is pretty much a mix of everything from HTs, and all the moderns, right down to the micro-minis, to shrubs, including the Austin's, and all the OGR classes that will grow in my zone. And even some that won't, lol! Maybe that's why I have such a hard time choosing!

I love ht's also. Even in hot humid freezing snowy windy Chicago.
And dove song, you will love Gemini

We have trials going on the Kordes HTs in both Houston and Orlando Fl so we will let you know how they do as we get data. Savannah so far has done very well in Houston.

Hope you enjoy your rainbow niagra and gemini, Buford! And wow, Susan4952. Thanks a bunch!!!
This is a great thread...really lovin' everyones input. :)
