Where to place Florence Bower's Pink Tea?

Posted by ycavaz 9A TX (My Page) on

I have a 1 yr old FBPT in a pot that I would like to train up an arbor and I only have 2 possible locations for it.

1. along a southward facing fence with 6 to 6 1/2 hrs sun
2. east/ west position in the middle of the yard with all day sun exposure

which is the better location? BTW I'm in Houston, TX where summers are brutal (hot and humid)

I would think that either location should work. I have a LARGE tea rose planted next to the house up here in Western Washington where it was plenty happy for years. The Japanese Maples planted to the South of it have grown to the point of shading it most of the afternoon and it stills grows and blooms well. It gets maybe 6 hours a day of sun split between morning and afternoon.

Thanks paparoseman, I think I'll place it along the fence, I'm worried that 10 hours of sun will fry the blooms.
