Thanks for the suggestions I'm compiling a list based on them. I'd also like to try some container roses. My idea is to keep some of them on the deck and perhaps put some of them in the ground if I think they'll work out well enough. Iv'e never tried container roses I hope I get them to survive the winter!
Steve, I did have Cherry Parfait and it was healthy and very pretty, but in it's second year it was the only rose that succumbed to a spring frost and the only one that has ever perished although it's noted to be very hardy and strong in many climates. Playboy sounds like an option, thank you.
Margie, thank you, I tried to order from Regan before and I tried to figure out their shipping periods, seems they're closed as of now until 2019. Roses are sentimental to me too because I grew up with them. The grandest was an absolutely gorgeous red climber that went all the way up the house to the second floor window. However, I was never interested in gardening myself , but when my grandfather passed away I wanted to keep the yard up. It was a big yard with bushes, trees, and of course roses and other plants. Working over there is what actually got me interested. I marvel how clean everything was including the grass, he did it all on his own and I found it to be a struggle and challenging! I figured I had an 'edge' having the net but I still couldn't master what he did by himself and in such a large space. But it's worth the challenge and I truly enjoy it.
Thanks again everyone for the suggestions! I'd like to narrow it down to at least 3 roses from my list below:
South Africa
Brass Band
Rainbow Sorbet
Playboy
Betty Boop
Electron
Music Box
Sheila's perfume
Sunset Celebration
Yabba Dabba Doo
Colorific (a rose I had in mind)
