Bart, it sounds to me as if your spot gets plenty of sun. Roses are not allergic to shade, they just need enough sun .

To answer your question, I have happy bushes of the tea roses Safrano, Josehp Schwartz, Susan Louise, and Mrs Dudley Cross; and the china rose Cramoisi Superior (or some other similar red china) loves it there. Also the hybrid musk Pax, the rambler Dawson's Apple Blossom, and the hybrid multiflora de la Grifferaie, and the polyantha Little White Pet. In my garden these all get less sun in the afternoon than you describe, and morning shade

The best repeat bloomers of the above list in these conditions are the tea and china roses.

I have about 50 or so plants and have resigned myself to spraying as often as necessary but the rewards are justified.
there are organic methods you can try like earthworm castings tea sprays. They work by making a inhospitable environment on the rose leaf for fungal spores to grow. There are so many "good bacteria" on the sprayed leaf that blackspot can't get a foothold. If you want an article about same let me know I'll look it up for you and post it.

Here is more healthy red new growth -- this on the Hybrid Tea Rose, 'Gardens Of The World.'

Thank you kippy-the-hippy and Jeri, I was concerned about the red color.. I've had this bush for almost 12 years and I started seeing this red color since last year. But I recently heard about the RRD and was concerned.

I think you will find as Camps has said the " a temperate maritime climate courtesy of the gulfstream" and the "strange" soil types to my way of thinking.

That's interesting, Cecily. I was just up in San Francisco and thought "My god, I've never seen so many Impatiens in my life." I felt like I saw an Impatiens sodenii on EVERY block. I'm not a big fan of New Guinea Impatiens or Impatiens sodenii, so I really noticed them. I rarely feel like I notice roses in San Fran proper due to the lack of gardening space, but the East Bay has some lovely gardens with roses. I noticed a lot more beautiful Abutilon shrubs in SF than roses in fact, but I could've been in the wrong places.

But as far as England, Campanula would know better than me. Britain certainly strikes me as a more horticulturally inclined nation than the US, particularly regarding ornamental horticulture. I've heard mention of David Austins feeling like the "Knockout" of England. I think a lot more roses would be grown in this country if our "Knockout" looked like any number of DAs.

I agree with Sara-Ann. I love looking at all of your photos, exhibition or not, and learning from all of you. So what if it's show-related? It's still about roses!

I would rather leave the exhibiting questions/discussions to the Exhibiting forum, and not revisit that discussion again, it got very, um, heated at times, and good friends who exhibit no longer post to GW.

Do the leaves look different now versus when you had blooms?

Thanks to a poster here, I found that reason my roses don't bloom much is rose midge. It does not sound like that is your problem, but just in case...

Jeri, you cracked me UP!!!!! Ha!!!! You're right though. I actually was watering it now as I'm checking the GW forums and ran outside to take a pic for you guys. As you can see some of the top part looks dead but there are some green leaves that merged and you can see those in the pic. I'm praying this will survive and eventually grow as big as you guys say.

I'm grateful to you and Jackie for the advice as I nurse it back to health.

Elce -- It's gonna make it. And if it doesn't, Texas is full of monstrous old plants of it -- so you can always have another.

I remember particularly a monster of a plant that we passed in full bloom, just south of Dripping Springs, TX. I wish I had photos, because it was a wow.

Hi I also had difficulty importing from sd card with windows 8.1 ... I found a solution and whilst looking for answer I googled for info and spotted your post... I had to join this group just to answer 'hehehee' .... I downloaded Picasa 3 and that will give option to click on and import pics straight away from sd card to computer ... I hope that info helps you :)

Without using any specific software, can you connect the camera, by cord, to the computer?

If you CAN, and you turn the camera ON, the computer should just see the camera as an external drive, under My Computer.

If it does that, you can just mark all of the images, and copy them to where ever you need them to go.

This looks more like a picture taken in the spring since the rose looks so fresh and lovely. I wonder how well it held up in the heat of the afternoon. Many of mine tend to fry at that time.

In the afternoon, this little niche goes into shade. But to be frank, in the worst of the heat, I don't expect my roses to remain dewy and perfect.

EYE don't remain dewy and fresh in real heat -- much less my roses. :-)

How wonderful!

Garden web only allows one photo at a time. Some of us upload to alternate websites and post links that open to the photos

The roses are beautiful, but my eyes are focused on the healthy foliage! Amazing.

Beautiful photos. I want to get my hands on a Smoky, now. Or a Black Tea. :D

Burling had Black Tea this spring. I may have some cuttings in a couple of months.

Don't know who might still have Smoky-maybe RVR? Mine's a bit too small for cuttings, yet.

I like both very much. But Black tea has been more vigorous so far.

Mild shaping such as you describe is OK at any time of the year.

You have at least another 6 weeks of warm weather so I'd say go for it!

Kasmir is my favorite so far - the deep red blooms are so beautiful. I also have High Voltage. I love them. Will be planting more next year.
