First, check with your own government. Find out if they have laws.

Then, talk to nurseries in other countries (and yes, I would consider India) and find out what THEY know about sending roses to Indonesia.

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.

If they're going to tent the house, the chemical WILL be harmful to the rose. But it's not necessarily a disaster.

Do as Jackie describes. Cut it back at least to some degree. You might get a rope behind it, and pull the plant forward, AWAY from the house. Then, put a tarp over it -- I would use one of those blue plastic ones, I think.

Be sure that the tarp goes all the way to the ground, between the rose and the house, and weight it down with sandbags or large rocks. I think you'll have a good hope that the rose will be damaged only minimally.

Thank you for your replies. The termite tent man came out and said the rose would have to go inside the tent. He said it would almost certainly kill it. I think both of your suggestions are good - it is a tough plant. When we get to that point I think I will cut it way way back and wrap it. I see that there are bags they give you to put your food in - if you leave your food inside the house (why?) that are supposed to be safe. In any event we are waiting til fall - we have to leave the house open for 3 days and saturate the ground with water for three days before tenting. Its over 100 degrees here now and we are in a drought - so I cant water that much.

Thank you again - it was so nice of you to take the time to answer. You gave me some hope - which I really appreciate.

Their server was bluerazor but godaddy took that over. WHOIS still shows Gary Pellet as the registrar. The domain was last updated 6/18.

I saw the same site you saw when I clicked on it. It used to look like the picture. Can't find them on FB either.

The first two blooms opened up much more coral orange with just cream shading at base, but the rest of the blooms opened as I was hoping for...creamy white with the coral orange edging. My pics don't do the coral color justice...it's not as red as my pics appear. They are small blooms...maybe 2 1/2 inches...I don't have Dick Clark, so not sure on comparison there. I have seven blooms so far on a bare root planted three months ago. It's been in the upper 80's and low nineties with full out sun since she first opened and first bloom that opened is just now starting to wilt a bit. The foliage is really very green...apple green. The contrast looks great.

This has certainly been a year for rain. Right now I trying to figure out sun gardening without the benefits of sunshine. Since the beginning of May perhaps 2 days of sun a week. The good news is it's suppose to rain the next 5 days and we're only 4 days from capturing the all time cloudiest June. Yah

Happy Belated Birthday! If you have limited space, I cannot recommend Brother Cadfael. He throws out huge canes. I now have one that is about 6 feet tall. For some reason this year he had just gotten bigger than ever. That is with severe pruning. He mostly stands about 5 feet tall. Good first bloom then sporadic afterwards. He doesn't like the heat and will bloom when it cools down. Scent to die for! Not great as a cut flower. I adore this rose and will never be without it.

Here he is as a baby plant. He is very easy to start on his own root. Which is what this picture shows.

Here is a more established version that I cut back to about 2 feet in January. This is his picture in May. Those rungs are 4 inches apart and the arbor starts at about 6 inches off the ground. You can barely make out the first rung.

Sharifa Asma. Love that rose. Gets to be about 3--4 feet by 3--4 feet. Great first blush. Spotty afterwards. Poor rebloom until it cools down again. Scent to die for. Gorgeous blooms. Love that rose but she got the shovel prune this year. I miss her terribly.

If you want a pink with beautiful cupped blooms that stays relatively "small" for an Austin in an area that has warm summers, I would recommend Pretty Jessica. She gets to be about 5 feet tall and is not very wide. Blooms well in the heat. Great rose.

Have you thought about Elegant Lady (otherwise known as Diana, Princess of Wales)? I don't really know anything about it other than that it is truly a beautiful pink/ivory/touch of yellow hybrid tea. Here's a link to some pics: Elegant Lady .

Seil, I just love that Watercolors rose. I may have to check that one out next year since it looks like some of my new purchases may not make it through our hot summer.

You can! But you don't want to use a 'sucker' that is coming from the graft, because that would become the same as the graft. You need to use a cutting from the scion, the part that flowers. The best way is to take a cane that has recently bloomed and cut it down to where it meets the next cane and get some 'heel wood'. then you can apply some rooting hormone and put the cutting in some potting soil. You have to keep it moist, but not wet. The success rate may vary. There is a lot of information on the internet about how to do cuttings.

Beautiful bloom! Reminds me of my Brother Cadfael who has canes over 5 feet at the moment. One looks like it is clearing my 6 foot fence.

I just did. And stated my opinion against it, if for no other reason than the government spends money on much less worthwhile funding. How DARE he pick on roses?

I can second the beautiful Morden Sunrise, though I don't have to worry about disease or cold. It blooms early here, and reblooms well. It's just a lovely carefree rose. Diane

Think of using any Kordes rose or any of the Buck roses too for durability and disease resistance.

2015 spring I planted Out of Rosenheim and Veranda Ruby. Rosenheim has a nice old world blossom however not a good plant. The stalks are not strong enough to hold the blossoms and this plant needs constant staking. The Ruby has small but prolific floribunda style blossoms groupings. PROBLEM...is that only about half of the buds make it to full bloom....the rest are falling off! I have looked and looked for the cause of this and am stumped. This is the first year so they get one more for good measure!!

I have 'Grande Amore' in my rose garden for several years as well as 'Mandarin Ice' both lovely and disease resistant. Picture is of a 'Grande Amore' bud. I don't have a recent photo of 'Mandarin Ice'.

It took us a few years to buy an ebb tide. We couldn't find it. I forget where we finally got it.

At least they didn't use a rose called 'Twilight Zone' for the show. LOL

Altorama, love the color of your "Polish spirit". Are you sure of the color? It doesn't seem right....
