| I am thinking of adding a red and white striped rose. I am in zone 8. Any suggestions? Don't need fragrance..just disease resistant. |

| Scentimental fits your color description, but I dug mine up and gave it away--blooms wouldn't even last a day, disease problems, etc. Lovely bloom however. I urge you to consider Red Intuition from Palatine--although it's darker red on lighter red, its gorgeous, has fragrance, and is disease-resistant. I strongly recommend it. Hope that helps. Kate |

| I got Red Intuitition from Palatine this year and yes I love it! Beautiful and the blooms last,recycle fast, and amazingly clean bushes. This is my first year ordering from Palatine and it could be my new favorite bareroot rose place. |

| I love Julio Iglesias, It gets lots of blooms and is disease resistant in my yard. |

| Julio Iglesias is not really red but a really dark pink. Rock and roll is another in my garden |

| Well, I can't help here _too_ much. I have Rock and Roll, George Burns, Careless Love, Rosa Mundi, Camaieux, the climbling mini Hurdy Gurdy, and the mini Charlie Brown, but I can't say any of them are disease free in my garden. The only striped rose I have that is disease free so far is the miniature Peppermint Parfait, but it is definiately pink and cream not red and white. |
|
| Rock and Roll is a very nice red/white stripe rose. The white turns to pinkish as it ages. Scentimental is beautiful as well, but I have to agree with Dublinbay about the bloom. Kasie |

| MY absoulte favorite red & white is Variegata di Bologna. It just has the prettiest mix of red & white...nice delicate stripes...also the foliage isn't always great. I tend to prefer OGRs and shrub roses over the popular hybrid teas, grandifloras, and floribundas. They just seem to do better for me. I also grow Rock n Roll and Stars n Stripes mini. Both kind of fall into the "so-so" catagory for me, although I would recommend Rock n Roll over Stars n Stripes. Another couple of red and whites I don't grow, but came to mind, are Rockin Robin and Forth of July. Tammy |

| Rock & Roll is the best red and white stripe, and Camille Pisarro is the best stripe of any color -- just my opinion. But I grow about 80 striped roses, last count. |
|
| Geez - I didn't know there were 80 stripes in existence. Have you got a list? I'd love to have that. I have a smaller garden spot in my yard where I planted only stripes - 2 Scentimentals, 2 George Burns, a Tropical Sunset, a Cabana, a Tigress, and then 2 Rock & Roll's. I'd like to add more, but stripes are hard to find, at least in my experience. I also have a Fourth of July, but it's in a different part of the yard. Here's a shot of Tigress: |

| Way back when, John Walden, who was, at one time, Keith Zary's assistant at the J&P Research Facility in Somis, CA, visited my old Newhall garden, I asked him WHY they released such a terrible plant as Purple Tiger. He laughed and told me if I thought it was bad now, I should have seen it before they virus indexed it. He then said if I liked Purple Tiger, I would like the "improved version" they had in the pipeline. Tigress is it. Kim |
|
| Funny you should say that - I had two Purple Tigers. They never got much more than 6 inches tall. I finally ripped them out and replaced them with the Rock & Rolls. |

| Second the "Variegata di Bologna' suggestion. Another to consider is Moore's Striped Rugosa. I haven't had mine long enough to assess disease resistance, but it's a Rugosa so it should be. |

| That photo of Tigress is outstanding! I am off to see where I can purchase it. I am sure I can squeeze in one more, right? No, I am a lover of stripes. My Red Intuition is new this year but really doing great. LOve it. I have two Rock and Rolls and they get better each year. Scentimental is lovely, but that said, blows before the sun sets. I keep her, tho. I can`t imagine 80 stripes, but I would be in heaven to visit each of them. Talk about taking my breath away....that would do it!! Lesley |
|
| I wonder if anyone here grows the bourbon Ferdinand Pichard. I've only seen photos. It is apparently in the lineage of Scentimental. |
|
| I really like 'Purple Splash' more and more, but it's a climber. It starts dark dark red and white, then the dark red turns purple. |

| Hmmm- My Purple Tiger is MUCH better than my Tigress. Improvement??? Yah right . . . Well, anyway, Purple Splash is better than both of those, and it is now on my "highly recommended stripe for newbies" list, along with Fourth of July. |

| I grow Ferdinand Pichard (only a two-year old bush at present), but so far am well pleased. Most sources say it is a Hybrid Perpetual, though, not a Bourbon. The blooms are on the smaller side of Modern Roses...more like the size of a V. di Bologna but the red parts of Ferdinand is more red than VDB. I can't comment yet on the repeat bloom...bush isn't mature yet. It does seem to be doing well with blackspot this year and it was labeled an outstanding rose for disease resistance in the Montreal Botanical Gardens trials of a decade ago. |

| Even in Southern California (where many HPs fail) Ferdinand Pichard was a winner. (I should grow him again.) He bloomed well, repeated well in Fall, and grew quite tall and graceful. Did you know that Ferdinand Pichard is behind several of the modern stripeys? In my mild climate, Variegata failed to bloom . . . Jeri |
|
| One of my few modern roses is Julio Yglesias which for me has no disease, has the most beautiful fragrance and lovely color combination. It likes to be fed (I use alfalfa meal) but what rose doesn't? I bought it as a five-gallon plant and after a nice year it was dismal in the second year but now is doing very well. It's the only striped rose I have other than the pink and cream Peppermint Parfait which I bought as a band, and it's still a very young rose. It promises to be a very pretty rose, though. |
|
| Okay...so I purchased Rock and Roll today..Just a FYI |
|
| You'll enjoy Rock n Roll...I was just remulching mine today, and it looks like its about to bloom :) Tammy |
