| I am curious what your experience has been with the following. Are they beautiful or do they blackspot (how much and does it kill them), do they ball, nasty blooms etc etc.
William R Smith
Georgetown Tea
Oklahoma
CL Oklahoma
Mme Gregoire Staechelin
Cl Devoniensis
Souvenir de Claudius Denoyel
Baronne Henriette de Snoy
Many thanks!
If you have photos - they are much appreciated. |

| I've grown Oklahoma 4 times. It definitely will blackspot without spraying here. It is very fragrant and beautiful. Also grow Georgetown Tea. It is better than average for blackspot resistance for a tea rose (loses less than half its leaves), though mine hasn't grown more than 2' tall in 4 years and seems a little runty. |

Have similar comments to Lori about Oklahoma and GT. I am spraying my GT now (exception is this year and everything is a mess)and it became really big bush. As soon as you stop spraying it looses 50-70% its leaves. William R Smith is similar in this respect. Also 50-70% defoliation and wants to be really big, if sprayed. Beautiful flowers. Baronne Henriette de Snoy was not hardy for me. I lost it during its second winter, which wasn't even too cold. This one also balled and got more BS then GT and WRS.
I don't have percsonal experience with Cl Devoniensis, but my friend grows it here. It does get significant BS.

| I bought OK about 9/1 from a local nursery. I'm looking out for some good dark reds and I figured a rose that still looks good after spending all spring and summer in a pot was worth a try. I've sprayed 2 or 3 times since then and it still looks good, didn't spray at all in Oct. The owner of the nursery said he sprayed very week or 2. I don't care about sent. Although it's too soon to tell, all in all, it's looking pretty good; healthy, has most of it's leaves, and a couple of blooms. I think it's a keeper. |

| Many thanks! Souvenir Claudius denoyel doesn't sound like it is very well known. Wondering if there is a reason e .g. Not hardy. |

| Same experience as Lori and Olga with Oklahoma, I spray and it wasn't worth the time. Also don't recommend Cl. Oklahoma, clmibing sports of hybrid teas are usually not as vigorous as the non-climbing varieties. |
