Re: hum.... who grows tree roses and tree hibiscus

Playboy also goes by the name 'Cheerio'.

Origin: Bred in Scotland (1976) by A. G. Cocker who named it 'Cheerio'
Bloom: Red blend [rb], red edge, yellow and red blooms. Mild fragrance. 10 petals. Semi-double (9-16 petals) bloom form. Occasional repeat later in the season.
Habit: Red blend [rb], red edge, yellow and red blooms. Mild fragrance. 10 petals. Semi-double (9-16 petals) bloom form. Occasional repeat later in the season.
Growing: Zone 6 and higher. Disease susceptibility: very (above average) disease resistant. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.

well I did find a tag on one of them- it is called
playboy. Can't find much about it on the net although
I really didn't spend much time.

Another site listed it classification as a FL - not
being a rose person, I have no idea what that means.

I've read that tree roses need to be half dug in the
fall and laid over in a
trench for the winter in our zone. I've seen
illustrations. This kept me
from reading any further and from buying tree roses.

Another option I researched for our Patio garden
when they ordered a tree
rose and wanted to plant it in a pot - you can lug
it into a garage for the
winter.
