Author Message   Terryk  Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 12:21 pm EST :    Doses anyone know if they have decided to ship in fall again. I thought they were not going to do it, but they do not say anything on the redesigned website. Also, is it too late for zone 6 to plant them? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 12:45 pm EST :    To my knowledge..Just Spring shipping.I have already started my wish list:) Monique Quebec Zone 5   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 12:53 pm EST :    It isn't too late for zone 6 rose planting - it is too early. At least if they are bare-root. They aren't normally shipped before the end of October at the earliest. Bare-root roses can be planted any time during their dormant season - as long as the soil isn't actually frozen. Mara Germany zone 6-7   Terryk  Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 01:05 pm EST :    Thanks Monique and Mara. Monique, I am looking for a white one to add. Last spring I ordered Mme Alfred Carriere. One made it but the other didn't (they did refund my money). Can you recommend a white one for my split rail fence that is pretty hardy, tolerates some shade and has some fragrance?

Gardenbug Ontario zone 4b/5b   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 02:43 pm EST :    Henry Hudson and BDd C are very similar in growth and bloom patterns..Both look neglected if you do not deadhead the spent blooms.. Both do better in full sun..however I would have to say that perhaps Henry is more tolerant. I also have Morden Snowbeauty and though I appreciate it's less fanciful blooms ..they don't last as long .They don't need deadheading to get rid of the not so pretties through. Monique Quebec Zone 5   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 03:18 pm EST :    If it doesn't have to repeat bloom, Alba roses are all fairly shade tolerant and very hardy. Also very fragrant. Of the ones that rebloom, the hybrid musks will tolerate a fair amount of shade and still flower very profusely. There's a white climber called 'Moonlight' that is very pretty. Hybrid Musks aren't the most hardy, but should be fine in zone 6. Mara Germany zone 6-7   Terryk  Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 07:06 pm EST :    Thanks everyone. I just looked up the varieties you suggested, the only one not listed on Pickering is Morden Snowbeauty. love all the ones you suggested. I also was thinking of these because they are climbers: Seagull, White Dawn, Alba Maxima, R. duponti, R. Filipes. Has anyone grown these with good results? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 07:19 pm EST :    New Dawn is not cane hardy for me..Have to start over every year..You are in a warmer climate..I think white dawn is similar.. Good luck! I love Polestar..Grew 10 ft plus in one season..but blooms for ap 3 weeks that's all.Small roses.Adorable.Very vigorous..Covered in blooms! Monique Quebec Zone 5   Gardenbug  Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2004 - 09:49 pm EST :    Blanc Double is VERY cane hardy. It gets no protection at all from me and has been around for years. Gardenbug Ontario zone 4b/5b   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Sunday, October 03, 2004 - 02:52 am EST :    Terry, With the exception of 'White Dawn', all those you mention are once-blooming. And Filipes 'Kifgate' and 'Seagull' all grow huge! I think they could be too big for a fence. 'White Dawn' would be a good choice for a large repeat-flowering climber. 'Moonlight' if you want something smaller. Mara Germany zone 6-7   Terryk  Posted on Sunday, October 03, 2004 - 12:32 pm EST :    Once again thanks for your help. I'll print this out so I can remember your suggestions come spring. Monique, I read the home page again on Pickering's website and saw where they say only ship in spring. I guess it threw me because before when you did a search it gave a notice that they were not shipping. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"
