We live in a hot and humid climate in northeastern N.C. I absolutely love
the hybrid tea rose blooms, but would rather buy them at the florist than
deal with the plants at this point.
We have a Cecil Brunner house climber and a Zepherin Druin (sp?) climber.
Both are wonderful. We also have 12 of the dark pink flower carpet roses.
These are absolutely fantastic for both disease resistance and constant
bloom. I'm trying to start a few cuttings of the Seven Sisters spring
blooming rose and we have a start of a house climbing spring blooming red
rose.
I've had it with spraying. I can tolerate a little black spot if I have
too for the sake of having roses in the garden. I prefer hybrid tea type
blooms to the flat quartered ones. Any fragrance would be a wonderful
bonus. I would really like roses in pink, white, red, lavender or any
combination.
Does anyone have any rose recomendations for a hot humid no spray garden?
