| I have been trying to replace Young Lycidas with a rose that was similar color and fragrance. (YL is trying to be VERY tall for my pot ((24 gal.)).) And thanks to you I finally located Ascot at Palatine Roses. I also ordered Souvenir de la Malmaison and another Kordes, Floral Fairytale. The Tantau and the Bourbon are both new for me. This Hugs to you, andrea |

| I haven't seen a post from Diane (nanadoll) in quite some time. I hope she's okay, and wonder if anyone has a way to contact her. She was a big help to me here on garden web as well, and introduced me to several beautiful roses, including Ascot and David Austin's Evelyn. jannike |

| Same here. I am a newbie who has benefited from Diana's postings. Hope that all is well with her. I got Ascot after seeing Diane's pictures. Andrea -- my Ascot (second season) is not a short rose at all. I got it from Palatine, and the first season, it shoot up to 5 feet tall. I don't have YL, but I don't think Ascot is the best choice for a pot. Not sure where you are, but here in New Jersey, at least in my garden, it is not resistant to blackspot. It is, however, very vigorous grower and blackspot does not seem to bother it too much. On the other hand, Floral Fairy Tale (own root, 3rd year) might be a good choice for pot. It is a sprawling grower for me and is wider than it is tall. The bush is fuller than Ascot. |
