| Anyone living near the coast of Ca. have favorite roses bred by Dr. Buck? I am interested in roses that are mildew and rust resistant. I already have Carefree Beauty own root and it's thriving and disease free so far. I am considering:
Frontier Twirl
All will be own root and grown in very large 20+ gallon plastic pots Thanks for your help! |

| I can't tell you how they would do for diseases in your area but I love both Quietness and Distant Drums myself. They both will black spot some for me but I can't recall seeing mildew. I'm not familiar with Frontier Twirl but it looks very pretty too. |

| Thanks, Seil. We will be at a nursery Friday to see if we like the colors of Distant Drums and the shrub form of Quietness. I'm not sure about Frontier Twirl. Chamblee's introduced a number of Buck roses in 2010 to help preserve them in the rose community. There are a number from the Buck family that have never been in or have been out of commerce for a long time. Lee |

| Distant drums is definitely a winner here. Haven't grown the other two you mentioned. I also like Spanish Rhapsody, but frankly, it needs to be sprayed unless you like mildew. |
|
| Quietness will get quite large in California unless you hack it back. Even in Ohio, it gets to about 7x6ft but is a nice and tidy upright shrub...it forms an excellent shrub like habit. I will try to get new pictures of it in it's more mature form this year. This was back from 2010...it's larger now but you can get an idea of the habit with being upright then slightly arching out. |
