I'd like to see a photo, too. But some yellow roses have a lot of pink/red tones lurking in the background, and when the temperature cools down, these tones come to the fore. Julia is one of those roses. I wish I had a photo of my dried Julia buds showing all the reddish pink in the yellow. Here's a bud of Golden Celebration that illustrates what I'm talking about. Diane
How about Paradise Found? It's a lavender and a purple in one rose. So is Paradise.
The first one is Paradise Found. The second one is a duplicate :( and the last one is Paradise.
I would skip climbers because you would probably have to tie them to the fence and not wrap so the fence can be maintained
I would check with otto and sons in filmore and see if their Belinda's dream are own root of not They make a nice hedge about 5 feet across and just a few of their 5g plants should solve the problem
If there is an evergreen hedge you like I would suggest doing that, with a climber on the fence. If your fence is wooden, you can attach the climber to it using eye hooks. Or if you are willing to use more space, you can do a rose hedge and then a taller evergreen hedge behind it. That way you have privacy all year round. And it gives a nice backdrop to the roses in my opinion.
For most of the rest of us (in the temperate world where roses defoliate), it's an ideal time to start cuttings. Old timers used to sink them in the ground, and put a mason jar over them to protect and increase humidity.
I lived in Houston for a decade and this isn't the time of year to see roses there. This is (often) a couple of weeks past pruning. If you haven't been to Antique Rose Emporium up in Brenham and if you have the time for the drive, it does have large and wonderful rose bushes that aren't heavily pruned. Just to see the 'bones' of the garden and how the different roses are structurally, and how they are used informally, if you're interested in that sort of thing, you would enjoy seeing them.
It appears to be a white/buff color so I would think anything would go with it. I guess it depends on if you're looking for high contrast or a more cohesive pastel color scheme. It looks like it gets pretty large so size might be a consideration in what you plant with it. What ones do you have available to use?
I think I decided what to do.
I have the 'Golda Banks' near by for a big single in similar colors and I think the other side will be 'Tom Brown'
I have a Buff Beauty but I hope it will be too big for the area and have a different spot planned already
This is my first year ordering roses mail order except for maybe 10 yrs ago having a horrid experience with Jackson Perkins.
I ordered from RVR, Heirloom, Rose Petals Nursery and DA so far.
RVR= sent well rooted bands ready to bump up to a gallon size right away. When I was potting them up outside a few potato bugs fell out of the pots and scared me lol. My Key West hens, who were supervising, all fought over who could gobble them up first :) I love those hens!
Heirloom =sent well rooted band but I kept it in the band pot for a few weeks but then planted it into a 2 gallon because it took off so fast. I still have a few more coming from them.
Rose Petals Nursery= sent in gallon sized pots. WOW so awesome! It is also fairly close to me so the plants were very fresh. I need to pot them up to a larger size this weekend.
DA= I haven't got this order yet so will update when they come in.

I've had really good experiences with Heirloom Roses. All of my roses have arrived healthy and exploded with new healthy growth within a week of planting them ... well, all except one; an Iceberg band that turned out to be very wimpy. I read on their website just recently that they now guarantee their roses for one year vs. only 3 months as it used to be. I called them up yesterday and asked if there was a way to get a free replacement Iceberg - and it's now on order to be shipped with the rest of my roses! Every time I call with a question I get a real answer and quickly. I am very impressed with them and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
I can't wait to get Poseidon I really love the lavenders! It is a smaller sized rose than I was thinking. I like the tall growers but I will probably keep it in a pot so it won't matter.
On Tess...I did leave out the R lol
It should be spelled Tess of the d'Urbervilles
I wonder where all the original replies went! I can't see now to check, but could it have been one of the 'related discussions' or some such, that houzz put down the right hand side - they sometimes seem pretty random, with a variety of dates...?
The reason I can't see anything down the side is because I've now got Garden Web morning glories down both sides of the page instead of the dreaded glaring white!!! Didn't think I could do it, but followed the link posted by aaarr... I've forgotten her name... on the ARF. Couldn't make head or tail of it all at first (I have to be the world's biggest dunce at computer stuff!) but kept trying a few things and eventually, I got it! Ingrid, it's SOo much easier on the eyes, although all the Houzz flim-flam at the sides has disappeared, including the magic UP arrow...well worth it though for the instant, major improvement in eyestrain - the background to the text is also a softer/ more textured colour and I think the font may be bigger/better; not sure about that though since I've mucked about so much with fonts and sizings since the changeover. The link was in a recent reply to 'Got here in a Goofy Way', I think. I'll check that.
Comtesse :¬)
Wow! That's a lot! But in zone 9, it probably won't die on you...so could be a good investment. I really want you post pictures in the summer!!!
The price for the rose is about what you pay in a nursery for a standard, plus $15 shipping and $6 tax.
