Don't forget the incredibly tough and floriferous Rose de Rescht. In our Scottish summers, which are damp and not very warm, it gives an incredible performance in June and again in September. By the end of the season there is some black spot, but flower power never seems to be impacted. .-= Stopwatch Gardener´s last blog ..The small mercy of snowdrops and other survivors =-.

Rebecca, thanks so much for the link! Funny that we’re both doing roses this week!!

Tom, thank YOU for sharing such great info about which roses are working for you! First-hand info is the best for figuring out which plants will do best in a climate.

Congrats to you Maya!! And thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for your nice comment, Pomona! Definitely, if you come by Arcata give Cindy a ring – and me, too! I’d love to meet you and have an excuse to go see Cindy’s garden again.

Thanks for this excellent resource-rich rose post. While fog and dampness is not exactly a problem in rose-growing season for us here, I’m really happy to see you touting spray-free roses and giving people sources (if I’m ever in Arcata again, I’ll have to stop by Fickle Hill Nursery). I’m an old-rose fan from way back – and by extension a David Austin rose fan. People need to know how great these roses are!

Hi Genevieve, thanks for the shout-out (and the tweet the other day), I also have had fine luck with Souvenir de Madame Leonie Viennot, Souvenir de St. Anne's, and Christopher Marlowe (for a unique Austin rose color). Thanks for the tips and the links! .-= tom | tall clover farm´s last blog ..Today’s Proverb: He Who Has Fogged-Up Windows, =-.
