Ok so I have room for 20 (prob more if i squeeze them in) roses give me your must haves . I can't wait to see what you all come up with ! I promised my husband I wouldn't go crazy at this house well see about that though.

If I lived in your zone, I'd grow nothing but David Austin shrub roses and Kordes Fairy Tale roses, especially Caramel Fairy Tale and Pomponella Fairy Tale.

Rose (Rosa 'Caramella')

Rose (Rosa 'Pomponella')

I'd also grow the Kordes Aloha climber.

Rose (Rosa 'Aloha')

Oops! Forgot about Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale, perhaps the best of the bunch.

Rose (Rosa 'Gebrueder Grimm')

oh yea kordes aloha for sure! i had that one couldnt move it. as soon as our fence guy comes back and finishes the gate that one is going right at the gate. and eden on the other gate. i love brothers grim and caramella. im a sucker for unusual colors. i just got neptune ohhh its a huge lavender flower

with all of Zuzu's suggestions!!

Must haves for me:

Blue Bayou : http://palatineroses.com/rose/...
Sheila's Perfume: http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... (pretty common, I got mine at Home Depot)
Kordes Briliant: http://palatineroses.com/rose/...
SolarFlash: http://palatineroses.com/rose/...
English Perfume: http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... (www.rosesunlimitedownroot.com)
Mardi Gras: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose... (pretty common)

the list can go on & on. But those are the ones I've had the longest (except for English) and have done SUPER well for me in my zone/area. Marid Gras is my first rose & this will be year 5 for me.

What I would grow if I could only have 20:
Austin roses, Kordes roses that Zuzu mentioned, and Belinda's Dream, Pink Diamond, drift roses, Easy Does It, Rainbow Sorbet, Distant Drums, Earthsong, Quietness, McCartney Rose, Seminole Wind, Julia Child, Autumn Sunset, Memorial Day, Sunsprite, Jeanne La Joie.

That doesn't leave many Austin or Kordes roses, if you can only have 20. There are 20 Austins and 20 Kordes that I would want to keep. Actually I can't even fathom stopping at 50. There's just so many good ones out there!
