I'm trying to figure out how many of the Blush noisette to place againt a back fence that is about 13 feet wide. I was wondering if this photo is of just one plant, or are there 2 or three planted together?

Sara,

I am just South of you in SC. You CAN grow roses, and lots of them!!! I grow mostly own-root roses. I am also selective in that I select roses that have a high resistance to fungus since this area is notorious for blackspot. My back yard is a hill that I have converted into a rose showplace. I would love to help you!

Feel free to look at my page on HMF for more info on my garden. Rondas Carolina Garden at link: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=3.4759.

I also suggest you venture over to the forums at Garden Web. Folks are very helpful and there are lots of folks from your area that can assist you as you adjust to your new climate. The link is: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/rosesant/

This rose continues to amaze me. NO disease and the most beautiful blooms.

The outermost petals fade to the palest pink while the inner petals keep their deep color. The coloration gives the entire rose bush depth. Stunning en masse.

A must have for someone looking for a rewarding low-care rose.

Blooms almost continually in zone 7 even through sustained temps in the 90's.
