dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated My neighbor grows it, and I have often admired it over the backyard fence. If anything, I think the yellow KO is prettier than the cherry red ones you see everywhere around town. My neighbor also has a pink KO that is very attrac...

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated I've seen it -- I think in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden -- I've got a photo somewhere, too. But that don't mean I can find it.

comtessedelacouche (10b S.Australia: hotdryMedclimate)Updated Ballerina might appeal - it makes a pretty container plant, sprays of apple-blossom flowers and the added bonus of cute little hips later in the season. You'd need to check with others re disease-resistance in your area. You can l...

plectrudis (Zone 8b Central TX)(8b Central TX)Updated Thanks for the detailed response, Jo! Especially the point about considering the background color--we'll keep that in mind if we decide to go for it. We have a fair number of rather aggressive roses, so I think one with a more re...

comtessedelacouche (10b S.Australia: hotdryMedclimate)Updated Is your rose that soft, cool pink? I thought it was white with pink buds! Jackie, yes, indeed, that's why I suggested AV as a possible alternative. Except that I'm not sure the flowers of AV are reflexing/ pompommy enough, and don...

BethC in 8a Dallas, TXUpdated KOs are no more prone to RRD than any other rose. A couple of reasons people think they are; one there are so darn many of them planted and two they are planted too close together. At least here they are in every bank, shopping ce...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated Your spacing sounds fine but as Michael said, you do not want to weave the canes. Simply tie them to the trellis as they grow. Weaving clematis is fine but it does not work for roses.

erikarochelle(6a)Updated Kate, you're absolutely right. I did use a double "r" rather than a double "c" at HMF. That is what I get from not double-checking my spelling before typing it into HMF. At the time, I was quite perplexed that ...

My NameUpdated You can consider offering it to a friend. I have received other people's DUD plants, and they went gangbusters for me and are among my favorite plants. Sometimes it is just your immediate environment isn't right for the plant, or ...

rosaceaeUpdated Yeah, Blue Girl was one of the possible identities I had considered for it. I had read it had some "reputation". It's a weird bush, it has barely 6 or so mature leaf sets, since the others dropped out of sickness, yet it keeps pu

comtessedelacouche (10b S.Australia: hotdryMedclimate)Updated I am indeed, Nik, thank you. That article you linked to on HMF looks as if it includes some of the same contents as the article I mentioned. When I searched on HMF before for the Viraghavans' details, I still couldn't find contact...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated I am thinking of an rectangular enclosed area formed by hedges about the height of a short picket fence. The roses will be inside the hedges peeking out. Ideally I am thinking of 3 to 4 feet in height. I will think about it first.
