| I cut out a sickly Mandarin in my central rose bed, and now have room for a new tea. I have Papa Gontier off to the right, Mme isaac Periere at the back, Radio times to the left and Le vesuve up front. Given the others, I'm leaning towards a pink that will fill the centre nicely. It will need to be fairly tall growing too. Catherine Mermet looks too twiggy and sickly.
Maman Cochet? G Nabonnand? |

| G Nabonnand is a pretty rose and thornless if that makes a difference. |

| I would suggest Maman Cochet or one of her wonderful sports. She is gorgeous, blooms a lot and is easygoing to grow, though she does takes some time to get established. I have Niles Cochet next to Papa Gontier and they look great together, |

| Adam, we were not much help. Maybe if you keep this up long enough you can get a consensus. I have had all the roses you mention. I was basing what I thought would look good with what you have and lack of thorns as that has been a recent problem at my house. DH on blood thinners. |

| Thanks patricia43 and jaspermplants. I like the look of both those roses, but I prefer the form of Maman Cochet, so i'll see if I can track one down. Has anyone grown Susan Louise? My preffered nursery has a stack of advanced ones and they look like a nice enough plant despite the lack of fragrance. |

adamharbeck , are you anywhere 'The Swiss Rose Nursery" in WA Aust, the owner Rudi is very helpful. Whatever plant you choose, make sure it is on 'fortuniana' rootstock.
Regards David in NSW Aust. |

| Yep, thats my nursery of choice. Rudi has an amazing collection of heritage teas. Its just a shame the general rose-buying public doesnt appreciate them. |

The general public and I say 'the general public' only understand Hybrid Teas. Adam

| Heres a snap of the bed in question. |

| There's a very large, old rose near my parent's home that I suspect may be Susan Louise. It has no fragrance, but blooms all year long. The plant has to be corralled with several chains fastened to a wall to prevent it from spilling onto the sidewalk. I don't have any great pictures, but if it is indeed Susan Louise then I'd only plant it if I had a massive space. Jay |
