The breeder of this beautful rose, 'Rhapsody In Blue', is my father. He won the gold award for this rose in 2003.
I wish to thank you all for your kind comments about my fathers rose.

I grow this rose on an urban plot in Staten Island, a section of New York City in USDA zone 6b one block from the harbor . It is a stellar performer. I planted it late last October and in just 3 weeks it produced a flower -- passers by MARVELED at the unique coloration. It overwintered beautifully. Early this spring the rose next to it was covered in blackspot and was shovel pruned - but Rhapsody in Blue was not infected. It brings a smile to the seniors on their way to church . Please give my compliments to your father . Diana

Martin,
Can you tell us more about your father or his roses. We would be happy to include it on the site. We could also link you HMF registration to his breeder and roses listings if you care to add some details yourself. Thanks.

Hi Martin.
I have this rose in my garden. It was my birthday present the year it war launch in Norway.
It was the rose that got me intrested in roses..I have now over 250 roses.
This year this rose made a sport in my garden. I have so far not done anything about it.
The flowers are more pink and stay cup formed longer. I have photos.
If this is something your father would be intressed in please contact me.
Kind regards
Camilla

Would like to know what is the coolest climate zone this rose can be grown at?

Some tea roses are hardy and some can only do well in wam climates. Adam is one of the first tea roses so it would depend on what this rose has in it's background such as Noisette, Bourbon or China as to it's hardiness. Don't forget that roses can be grown in a pot and brought inside in very cold winters or heavily protected outside to survive. Adam grows as a climber in very warm climates but can be grown as a shrub in cooler ones.

It looks beautiful . Do you think it's hardiness might be worth a try here in 6B/7A? Any idea of how it fares with regard to blackspot ? Thanks , Diana

Hello Rosarians ; Can anyone supply recommendations for the most blackspot resistant climbers hardy to the US coastline on the border of zone 6/7 ? I am looking to make some plantings this fall both on my property and the nearby shoreline which NYC volunteers are reclaiming. Thanks !

I would contact one or more of your local Rose Societies and see what they recommend. Black spot is a tricky thing, and local experience is indicated here. I wish I could be more help.

I have a other mystery rose. This one is pink with yellow at the inner(lower) part of the petals. From a distance, the rose looks like it is a salmon color.

Perhaps Tropicana, Folklore or Voodoo?

the black spots on the leaves comes from bacteria caused by moisture, there are chemical sprays for this or like I do use 1/4 cup of vinager and 1 tablespoon dawn dish soap. spray after watering, a moist day or rain

Thanks for the info. Do you add any water to the mixture? I live in a very humid area. All my roses bushes get black spots on the leaves.

For blackspot I use "Serenade" here on my roses in - zone6b/NYC. It is recomended for Organic gardeners and works just fine (not perfect but OK) . Hard to find in the garden centers , but there are so many kids in my yard I don't want to use anything that is a poison at all. -- DB

You can also substitute baking soda for the vinegar but there is a loss of the acid nutrient that roses can use, also another hint I spread my banana peels on the ground under the bush for the potassium enrichment.

The photo shows this as almost Orange. Is this correct or is your description
closer to what it is?
