Roses for the Gulf Coast

12 years ago

My mother-in-law lives near Biloxi, MS. She asked me if I would have some roses shipped to her. I went to The Huntington Library and Gardens yesterday to find roses that I liked. Of course, those roses experience much different conditions than they would in Mississippi. I am not sure what rootstock is recommended for Mississippi either.

Anyway, I was hoping some of you in The South could let me know if any of the following will do well in your climate (or if they will NOT that is also good to know). They are a mix of climbers, minis, shrub roses/Austins, floribundas, and HT. All of them looked nice at The Huntington:

Jasper

Wild Blue Yonder

Tuscan Sun

Pink Rosette

Edin (Pierre de Ronsard)

Frederic Mistral

Sexy Rexy

Black Baccara

School Girl

Lavaglut

The Prince

Florence Delattre

Heritage

Charles Darwin

Gertrude Jekyll

The Squire

Munstead Wood

Francis Dubreuil

Thanks for your advice!
