| Hi, Do you have any recomdations ? I was looking @ Sorotimist Int'l & Devoniesis Cl. I'd really like a Yellow one and maybe something beigeish..Climber or other it does not matter. Thanks so much, Shannon  The horse is God's gift to mankind. ~Arabian Proverb |

| Thanks, zuzu!! Now....which ones to pick....many of them under the shrub category aren't in the database. (whine and whimper). I have 'Edith Schurr' and 'Francis Blaise' picked so far. I have a theme of shrubs around 4 feet and need 5 to complete my circle garden. Off to check out more of them! NGA COO, Wife, Mom, and caretaker of 90 acres and all that dwell there. |

| Look up the ones that aren't in our database here, Trish. RU has a problem with spelling, so some of the ones you might look up will not be found because you're using RU's spelling. http://www.helpmefind.com/rose... If you like Edith Schurr and Francis Blaise, which have lots of petals, you'll probably like Versigny (same breeder as Francis Blaise): http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... Cinderella Fairy Tale: http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... Tchaikovski: http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... Gypsy Lantern has fewer petals, but I think it's a really neat shrub rose. http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... And if you don't have Autumn Sunset yet, you (and everyone else) really should have it. It's a shrub and it can be pruned to stay a shrub, but it can also be set free to climb to about 12 feet. http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... |

| And now for Shannon, in zone 7 you probably should stay away from hybrid teas unless you're totally crazy about them. Soroptimist is a mini, so it won't ever grow into a spectacular bush, and Devoniensis is a great rose, but it doesn't have much of a rebloom. Aside from Autumn Sunset (see my post addressed to Trish), floribundas might be the best choice for you. They rebloom like crazy and there are lots of great yellow and beige ones. Antique Artistry is a nice yellow floribunda: http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... Fragrant Apricot is one of my favorite floribundas and it has a lot of beige-apricot in it: http://www.helpmefind.com/gard... In my opinion, the best floribundas on the list of sale plants are Brothers Grimm, Easy Does It, and Colorific, but they don't really match your color preferences. |

| Oh my, I can highly recommenced Brothers Grimms Fairy Tale in the floribundas section! |

| I agree with sue and zuzu. Those 3 floribundas grow very well here in zone 6/7. Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. |

| Thanks ZuZu... I collect the mini's at least I still have the ones the voles missed LOL So Soroptmist is a go and I will choose from your suggestions. I really want healthy bushes Im sure they are beautiful. OK off I go  The horse is God's gift to mankind. ~Arabian Proverb |

| Shannon & Trish - if y'all haven't ordered from RU before, you're gonna be shocked at the size of the roses you'll get. These won't be teeny little bands.. these will be gorgeous 1gal roses. I broke down & ordered 5 myself.. after I *swore* I wasn't going to order any more from RU due to my weather here! But I can't help it.. they have some gorgeous roses you won't find anywhere else. Shannon - Order an English Perfume & put it in your blue garden. Trust me.  http://www.helpmefind.com/rose...Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet... |

| You are all enablers, you know that?!?!? I have to face reality that this is NOT a good time for me to be ordering roses. I can be patient...I can be patient...I can be patient.... NGA COO, Wife, Mom, and caretaker of 90 acres and all that dwell there. |

Trish - Patience isn't a virtue. Just order. Let Dave take care of the purdies & put 'em in the ground for ya.  Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet... |

| Yes Trish they "ARE" enablers LOL But,think of it this way...At least if you do order a couple you Will know what Dave & the kids are doing  The horse is God's gift to mankind. ~Arabian Proverb |

| I ordered Strawberry Ice, Stile 800, Suffolk, and Anna Fendi. |
Name: Toni Denver Metro (Zone 5a) Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Skiekitty Jun 6, 2012 2:30 PM CST |
| Zuzu - I saw Strawberry Ice and fell in love.. but I want blooms w/scent as you know. That's why I went with who I did. I already have English Perfume, but I love that one SOO much I want more. I can't seem to get Lady X to survive at all so I'm trying her. Again. Same with Solitude. I love that rose.. but last year it didn't survive for me (too small). I thought for sure that Twilight Tryst was gonna pull through, but a late frost did that one in and the roots were killed. I'll get them to survive THIS year!!! Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet... |
Name: Zuzu Northern California (Zone 9a) zuzu Jun 6, 2012 2:36 PM CST |
| I understand. I ordered another English Perfume, but someone ( ) had already bought all of them. I already have Strawberry Ice and I did have Suffolk at one time, but the other two will be new to my garden. Strawberry Ice's lack of fragrance really doesn't matter. It's such a short rose bush that you'd have to lie down on the ground to smell it. |
Name: Toni Denver Metro (Zone 5a) Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Skiekitty Jun 6, 2012 3:22 PM CST |
| Hmm.. I should call them tomorrow to verify that my order was accepted. Too late now, they're already closed. Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet... |
Name: Zuzu Northern California (Zone 9a) zuzu Jun 6, 2012 4:35 PM CST |
| I sent them my order by e-mail last night and received confirmation this morning at 6:00. English Perfume was already gone by then. So was Eliane Gillet, another rose I had ordered. But I'm happy with the four I'm receiving. Shannon and Trish, don't give up. One year they had a second sale in early July, offering all of the leftovers at $4.00 each. No matter what's going on in your life at that time, a $4.00 rose bush from RU is not to be passed up. |

zuzu said:No matter what's going on in your life at that time, a $4.00 rose bush from RU is not to be passed up. Priorities, right?!?!? I don't mind waiting, and it really is for the best. Dave and the others will have a hard enough time keeping up with the rest of the gardens and everything else without me adding things that they will have to coddle. A few months won't hurt me. Besides....that will give me more time to perfect my "need" list! NGA COO, Wife, Mom, and caretaker of 90 acres and all that dwell there. |

| Yes, Trish, I suppose a new baby trumps a $4.00 rose. |
