| Hello. I've been reading various threads on the various roses here and thought to join and, hopefully, learn some things. My question is this: I recently bought myself a Tuscany Superb and Golden Buddha from Rogue Valley. However, I read from this forum that the Superb is a cold-weather rose, and not suitable for our 9A climate (thankfully, the Buddha is a hot-weather rose). Is there any way to help make him feel comfortable? At the moment, they're in pots, and are under shade for most of the afternoon. |

| OUCH, some gallicas can bloom in a zone 9 garden but Tuscany is not one of them. As with any plant that needs a certain number of cold units during the winter to reset it's internal clock most gallicas need a few months worth of sleeping time. It is the same reason why you cannot grow apple trees in Georgia and get apples. Zone 9 is a great climate for teas, chinas and other roses that either hail from warm/hot climates genetically or have been bred to enjoy them like your Golden Buddha. |

| Set you Garden Web account up to accept email and perhaps someone will offer you postage or a trade. Good luck. Where is your location? I'm 9a in Florida. |

| Don't guess I need to tell all the apple orchards in north Georgia they're really not growing apples! Sorry I couldn't resist!! We grow apples quite well here. Sorry I don't have a clue about your rose but I wish you the best of luck with it. Maybe you can find something similar that will grow in your climate! Take care!! |

| Paparoseman: Yeah, dash this rose grower's dreams. :P Thonotorose : 9A South Texas. And I think I got it configured now. Here's hoping! |

| Paparoseman has told you the truth, sorry. |
|
| *chuckles* No worries. I already cried into a pillow. :P Now, I think, the question is what can be done with it right now? *entertains thoughts of putting Tuscany in the freezer for a few weeks during the winter months* XD |

| Moose, try the Propagation and Exchange Forum linked above. Or maybe somebody here will email you an offer. Old Tea or China roses would be good for you. |
