| I just mentioned that I'd like to see this kind of standard but I don't believe I ever have, sorry. |
|
| I have 'Renae' as a weeper. It's very nice. It was from Weeks circa 2000 Weeks and J&P were the main vendors of "tree" aka "standard" roses. J&P is going bankrupt and I'm not sure Weeks is still doing standards. You might check with Burlington Roses and see if they can graft one up for you. I thought I read they might be doing that a bit, not sure though. Because you are in zone 6, check on hardiness for your zone. There was also a standard that was supposed to be cold-hardy, it was called 'Polar Joy'...not sure if that's a weeper, or if it is still available, or if it was good or not. |

| I have a five year old Baby's Blanket standard from J&P that has the most weeping form of any of my roses. I have tried every ground cover, mini climber, etc.,mostly in hanging baskets. HAve not had much luck. I have seen pictures of Hoovb's yard. Roses are spectacular. Regan also has beautiful tree roses. |

| The old Sequoia Nursery used to do weeping standards, in "patio" size. I believe that Burling Leong still offers them through her Burlington Roses. I've seen Sweet Chariot and Gourmet Popcorn done as weeping standards, and they were pretty spectacular. Jeri |

| One of my favorites that I've seen at local nurseries here and there is Weeping China Doll. It's very pretty grafted as a standard. |

| I echo Lago's response. I've seen the weeping China Doll as a standard (tree rose) and it is beautiful. One of the most frequent roses seen in standard form I believe....Maryl |

| I have a Baby Blanket standard too and it does not weep at all for me. Growth is always very upright and stiff. I'll have to look for some of these others! |
|
| Mine is the only one that weeps! I do prune to encourage that shape, tho. |
|
| What I meant is, the only one I have that weeps is BB. Am trying Inocencia this year. |

| Check the J&P catalog for 2012. They have Renae as a 36 inch tree rose. I bought 3 and they're pretty good looking. Of the 3, one had a lopsided graft, but the other two are beautiful. I also bought 4 Raspberry Blanket trees. three were great. One had a lopsided graft. JP customer service sent replacements for the lopsided ones. |

| here is the weeping tree rose i ordered...this particular nursery does not have great reviews. however neither does michigan bulb but i find they are close enough to me that when i get the plants they are in good shape. i also get a free rose of their choice, that will be interesting to see what i get. anyway there is a link to the weeping tree rose i picked below and i sure hope it is as pretty as in the magazine when established. i really have wanted this for a long long time. this is my valentines day present, told my husband and this is what he got me but i just ordered today. |
