Trying to decide on which one for an order. I'm in Atlanta area. Hot humid summers. Anyone have experience with these?
I would appreciate it
Thanks, Adrianne

I'm not in your climate, but I'm a huge fan of PAOK. She's a bloom monster for me. Nonstop and beautiful. I did have a bit of BS on her last year, but it was also that kind of summer. Things that never got BS, got BS last year. I haven't had her all that long, but definitely a favorite.

I have both, still very young. Alnwick has cupped blooms and was faster to start producing than PAK. Both are good. I'm in the mountains a couple hours north of you.

The Alnwick rose is beautiful for me here in Texas. I get about four flushes between April and Late October. Her scent has hints of raspberries to my nose. I would probably get more blooms if I watered more frequently. But I water sometimes once a week, sometimes every 2 weeks because she does get some water from the sprinkler system. She is in morning sun and evening shade. She is classified as a salmon pink, but she looks more durty pink to me. Beautiful shade of dirty pink though. I love this rose. She is 4 x 2 in my garden.
