Re: Roses

Chris, I don't know if you want an ever-blooming rose, but, if you don't care, I would recommend 'The Chestnut Rose.' I have mentioned it before, but I really love it. It roots very easily when pegged, and I'll be glad to send you a little one if you want to check out its hardiness on Long Island. Mine is about 10' square at this point. Got it 7 years ago from Antique Rose Emporium.

My R. "Simplicity' performs the same as Melody's. Maybe it's time for a
change. Any ideas for a TALL pink rose? I have these in back of my pink
and whit bed. The white foxgloves and phlox get quite tall.

I love R. "Fairy' and 'Bonica'. Both shorter pinks that I grow else ware.

I was just a beginning gardener when I tried them, so some of the failure
was no doubt mine, but I don't think Simplicities could ever achieve the
hedge form they advertised here. Maybe in Oregon.
