Elaine I love them but they are a challenge for me to keep them alive through the winter. I like the hybrid Tea roses. After I spent a fortune buying them and only have dead sticks the next year I started buying them cheap and using them as annuals. If they live it is good if I get two year I call it really good.
I gave up on having a beautiful rose garden. I have settled for a beautiful potted rose garden on the patio for my summer displays and delight.
