- Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2006 17:20:53 EDT
I haven't intentionally grown any roses in at least 20 years. Between
the deer browsing them down to nothing and the chemicals needed to keep anything
that survives bambi and company...they've just been to much trouble. In
their place we now have zillions of peonies. BUT, there's a spot at my
place in upstate NY (zone 5 where I still have some daffodils just opening up)
where I'd like to plant a large shrub rose that will eventually fill a space
about five feet or more in diameter. Prerequisites: I'll feed as
necessary, prune annually if needed but it's got to be disease resistant...oh
and of course red to reddish and somewhat fragrant.
Deer are not an issue at this location and neither are Japanese
beetles. Had one deer in the past year...a fawn that fell asleep on my
back porch. Haven't seen a Japanese beetle in the area in the three years
I've had the property.
Is this baby out there? Open to any and all suggestions. Andrew Messinger |
