Skiekitty said:Love that Dame de Coeur. Distant Drums is so beautiful... just picked up Colorific myself this weekend. Heirloom makes for a great cut rose and smells wonderful. Cinco de Mayo unfortunately shatters easily for me, dunno why. Don't have BI, Nocogdoches, Trumpeter, or Country Dancer. What other colors are you looking for?
Cinco de Mayo is known around here for it's heat and drought tolerance. I had picked Easy Does It instead, but got talked into both of them (twisted my arm really good, you know
)
What other colors- oh...I'd take anything that Sue posted near the beginning here- not seen any of those locally, also really liked the striped colorways. For my official "rose garden" area, I will be doing a mix (obviously), then I'll have specific color needs in other areas where I'm incorporating the roses into mixed beds. Since I liked them all, and never could make a decision last fall, doing a mix was my solution.
