I was wondering does anyone have any suggestions for roses with lovely rose hips? This year inspiration HT, which is growing on me, has produced promising hips. Set me to thinking maybe I could think about squeezing in another rose in if it makes beautiful hips.
Thank you for sharing your lists. I like lists and plans I find it hard to type messages with my little one around me but i read all the posts on this thread and really appreciate everyones posts with all the info and lovely photos.
Finally got a chance to type my list. My list is from what I read and liked from rose threads of gw. I am getting these for me. All will go on pots for 2-3 years except warm welcome. For your eyes only tottering by gentle warm welcome easy does it chandos beauty novalis love song aquarell
For my friend I am thinking about getting 3 or 4 from this or may be something else from recommendations Olivia Rose Austin Julia Child or Poet's wife Double delight Desdemona Boscobel
Not shovel pruning anything except inherited HTs. Not that I dont like HTs, it is just that the ones came with house dont flower much and are completely blackspotted and getting leafless. I worry that they will impact health of my new roses. From the new ones I planted last year around 8 are in probation period and if they dont do well in next 2-3 years, they will be replaced with the ones doing good in pots.
Anyone ever had Abraham Darby? It seems so popular in US but dont hear about it in UK. How does it do in weather here?
@edhelka Would you consider giving away those that you don’t intend on keeping? Maybe at your doorstep with a sign for those who might fancy them? I’m a softie when it comes to throwing plants away.. 😌
I have a huge task ahead too. I plan a mix - direct planting when I know where it’s going, some experiments in pots to see how they go, some temporarily potted, since I haven’t dug their intended spots yet:
Blush Noisette Mme. Alfred Carriere Souvenir de St Anne’s Marie Pavie Eyes for You Love Song
Deep Secret
Guy Savoy
Mme. Isaac Pereire
Ivor’s Rose
Eufemia Chartreuse de Parme
Ebb Tide
Purple Lodge Forever Royal
Alexander
Super Trouper Salita Golden Beauty
As if that’s not enough, I’m considering a couple from Ducher roses, plus I have the three latest arrivals, Rose de Rescht, Heidi Klum and Pure Poetry. Chateau de Cheverny has totally died (but no response to my many emails to the nursery).
Here is my shovel prune list and why, but bear in mind some of this will be climate-related so not necessarily the rose’s fault:
Susan Williams-Ellis - very stingy bloomer and they only last 1-2 days, bad BS LD Braithwaite x 3 - 1st season fabulous, 2nd OK, now a sorry, stingy bloomin mess
Lady of Shallot - only scattered rebloom after unimpressive 1st flush, bad BS
Princess Alexandra of Kent - dislike the coral tones in heat, awkward, splayed habit
Wild Rover - can’t take the heat, soon as it leafs up gets terrible BS
Burgundy Iceberg - just a terrible, spindly, unhealthy plant
Incidentally, my healthiest DA’s are Gertrude Jekyll and Harlow Carr.
PS - sorry for the poor spacing, my Ipad is very irritating that way, one return space is often two!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@celcius_kkw Yes, I am a softie too (but also an introvert/social anxious so talking to too many neighbours is hard). I am in a quiet cul-de-sac with only one neighbour growing roses. She has some of them (smaller HTs/floribundas) in a very narrow border (like 30-40cm narrow next to my garden wall (north-facing for her) and they are all healthy and blooming. And she certainly doesn't dig deep holes with a pickaxe I could offer her the smaller HT if I see her. And I am in contact with someone on facebook who wants Just Joey.
..impressive list @Nollie ... and there I was thinking you didn't have any more room.... as if,...
'Jardin des Tuileries'... scented of peaches or apricots.. 'Francis Dubreuil'.. one of the best scents in all roses.. and a colour to match.. 'Kew Gardens' scaling the heights... ..little scent outdoors, but when brought in the house, it exudes a floral scent from the stamens which is actually one of the best in this vase... Nerines flowering 6 weeks early... no idea why, I've not seen this before and I've had these for years... normal flowering is late Oct/November for me..
More sawfly found, this time on my Harlow Carr. This has been a serious pest this year, never had it before, so I don't know why this year has been such a massive problem. When I'm passing neglected HT's in people's front gardens, I've noticed entire plants stripped of their leaves, with just the central vein left; so it appears to be everywhere.

I don't like Susan Williams-Ellis either. For me it blooms a lot but all tiny little blooms. Nothing interesting and yes BS too.
Lady of Shallott blooming could be climate difference thing. I am not a fan of its colour but atleast it keeps growing and flowering all the time.
My Papa Millend has been a one cane wonder. Now it has grown an odd cluster. Shall i cut it down?
Oh another to go that I forgot is the Prince’s Trust- just wilted and crisped in the heat.
