I have a new spot for a pretty good size rose. I have in my pot ghetto Wm. R. Smith, M. Cochet and Mrs. B. R. Cant. I know that Mrs Cant is very tall and wide, so I don't want to place that rose there. Which of the other two roses is more narrow, WRS or MC?
Thank you,
Molly

My Wm. R. Smith is a gorgeous rose at its best but the drought has taken its toll and I've had almost no flowers this year. If you have drought conditions, even if you water and mulch, it may not do well. I haven't grown Maman Cochet, but is sounds like a lovely rose.

Thank you for your feedback, Ingrid! Here in my southeast Texas area, we are out of our drought conditions. As a matter of fact, we have had frequent rain for several months now. Our summer temperatures moderated a little last summer in that we had few 100 deg days. A few inches of rain and a little bit of a drop in summer temps has really helped my roses.
