sutekesh Switzerland(6a)Updated 20 minutes ago Diane, you're right - the snow on the Matterhorn would melt and we would be growing roses up there! Down here it does get hot, not the norm as I said, but we're in for unusually hot weather the next two weeks. Sharlene

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated 23 minutes ago My Moonstone is not that prolific, but I still have it in a pot. Magnificence and Randy Scott are both blooming like crazy, they are on fortuniana. Double Delight and Gemini are also great bloomers, but have slowed down a bit in t...

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated 27 minutes ago Ok, maybe it was the lack of rain, although we did have some. I usually stretch out my spray schedule when it gets warmer in late July/August, but this is kind of early. Of course the worry about blackspot has been replaced by thr...

vasue VA (7A Charlottesville)(7A Charlottesville)Updated 1 hour ago This one really caught my eye, too. Laguna is certainly beautiful, but too much on the lavender/lilac side of pink to work well here. Sweet Laguna is described on the Daniel Schmitz site as a combination of medium & pale pink....

john_hook(France)Updated 3 hours ago www.frenchtearose.com could supply export certificates but they would require the necessary import certificates from your agricultural department. Please check what type of roses do OK in your climate, many would fail.
