kittymoonbeamUpdated Some of them make better trees than others. I like the smaller floribundas and the bushier HTs. Some of the newer HTs are really big plants on their own and want to make the huge shoots. The ones that are smaller and bushier are e...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated Tenting with a plastic bag will help keep them moist in the house. Depending on what size cup you used you can also use a soda pop bottle cut to fit. You want to keep them evenly moist, not to wet or dry.

predfern(z5 Chicago)Updated Colette sounds promising. Is it fragrant? I don't have any Canadian Explorers yet because I got the impression that they were not very fragrant (except for rugosa hybrids). Hardier Austins seem to do well here.

bethnorcal9Updated I got ASTRID from Hortico in 2008 also. Mine is planted in a bed that probably needs some amending. It doesn't bloom much. But like Snowheather said, when it does bloom, they're lovely!
