| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Oct 16, 2011 10:46 AM America is a beautiful and unusual off-pink colored rose with a typical high-centered hybrid tea form of flower. Here in my garden it does need strictly scheduled spraying for blackspot since I want it to be blackspot-free. Not a rose that can miss a spraying and stay blackspot-free. [ Reply to this comment | |
| Posted by tabbycat (Youngsville, LA - Zone 9b) on Oct 27, 2018 11:22 AM I have the climbing variety I started from a cutting from a friend about 8 years ago. It gets 8ft. long and is sprawling on my wood fence. The salmon-colored flowers are a pleasant addition that brightens the aged fence. I trim my climbers in Oct. most years and it encourages them to send out a last flush of buds here in zone 9 before our 1st frost or freeze in about December. 'America' is doing so now. How lovely!

| Posted by gardenfish (Arkansas - Zone 7b) on Aug 10, 2019 9:46 AM I planted this rose 5 years ago. I didn't know how to cut back climbing roses, so in February I cut it back just like a shrub hybrid rose. Oops! it didn't seem to mind, rewarding me with so many blooms it bent the trellis. Top star performer! Blooms continuously for me from march through the first hard frost. it is so breathtaking when in full bloom in the spring I have had people driving by stop and ask me the variety. I have found it to have only moderate resistance to black spot, but black spot is endemic in my area, You seldom see any roses that don't have it. The blooms have a beautiful swirl pattern when they open, and the fragrance is reminiscent of the hybrid tea 'Fragrant Cloud.' It produces large, strong canes each year. [ Reply to this comment | |
