The rose 'Morden Sunrise', offered at Jung Seeds this year, looks like it could be a cold climate alternative to 'Mutabilis'. It was introduced in 1991, so there ought to be some consensus about its health and flowering qualities.
Would anyone here from a colder area recommend MS?

Hello everyone, can someone suggest me roses with huge blooms (more than 6"), i have few roses with huge blooms such as Parole, Paul Neyron, Great Century, Veterans' Honor, Rouge Royale etc. I'm planning to buy few more roses with huge flowers, can anyone suggest me some roses.
Thank you.

Growing conditions makes a huge difference.
South Seas, Frist Prize, Medallion, Brandy, French Perfume, are a few that come to mind.
There are probably newer varieties with which I am less familiar. Good luck!

Hi Robert, thanks for the wonderful suggestions, i already have South Seas and First Prize in my garden. I will check the availability of other roses.

Some huge flowers over balance their plants. David Austin's 'Golden Celebration' offers, for those who have room for it, huge gold blooms on a large, vigorous and well foliaged plant. I understand it can be trained as a climber.
The largest hybrid perpetual is probably 'Paul Neyron'. In India, you might get a decent sized plant; for me in New York state, it was a one cane wonder.

Hi Nastarana, thanks for your great suggestions. Golden Celebrations was in my wish-list for so long, i will buy once its is available. Here in India it is very difficult to get rose varieties in nurseries, also the big rose companies like David Austin, Heirloom Roses, Ludwig's etc are not available. The Paul Neyron rose is growing bushier but it rarely blooms unlike my other roses.

I agree with Mr. Rippetoe that local conditions play a big role, e.g., in my location Paul Neyron blooms are only average size.
Medallion grows pretty large for me, but my consistently largest blooms (from over 100 cultivars) are from Papa Meilland. But that may be only because he finds my conditions perfect…

Hello Lee, yes i'm planning to buy the Medallion rose, i have Papa Meilland in my garden but the plant is very small as its been only 2-3 months since i brought it, it bloomed 2 times but the blooms were average size due to the plant being small. I have big hopes for Papa Meilland ????.

Using HMF’s advanced search, under “bloom characteristics”, you can search all roses for extra large blooms, and then add in any number or other characteristics, such as color, to limit the search to a manageable number.

Hello. New here from the Ozarks and looking to get my first roses, and have come here for some suggestions. I thank you in advance and appreciate any help you may give.
I have approx 200 feet of rock retaining wall that is mostly about 2ft tall, with a section up to 4ft tall. I would like to use the climbing type of roses that will run the length of this wall. I understand that it will take several plants and they will have to be trained. Are there any particular ones that you recommend for such a low height structure?
I also understand roses prefer to grow 'up'. Can some be trained to droop over and down if planted on top of the retaining wall vs planting them at the base?
I would really like to use roses, but if this is not an arrangement they would thrive with, I understand and will search out alternatives.
Most of the wall will have a shade time, sometime during the day. The rock wall that is about 4ft tall and runs about 40ft in length is the one area that will be in full sun from sun-up to sun-down.
Again, thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Have a Blessed day.

Hi, I can only give one personal recommendation…’Red Cascade’. It is naturally procumbent (but can be trained as a climber), and can easily create a 12 ft diameter octopus groundcover in just one season in zone 6. I would suggest you try the advanced search feature, where you can search roses by their habit (arching, spreading, etc.) and growing uses (beds and borders, ground cover, etc). Might at least give you some ideas.
OK, is that Malibu a small block motor? :-)

Since these roses will be the very first of my gardening adventure, I was unsure when using the advance search if what it showed me would work. Thank you, I’ll look into those.
I’m running a 355

Nice! Well, I know there are at least two gearheads who also grow roses around here. I’m a “hot rod Lincoln” kinda guy.

Guess we got in trouble with the pics, huh? Beautiful Lincoln. About 1940-41 or so ?

Actually, there are some gearheads here at HMF that are equally impressed(!) with this beauty but we have learned, the hard way, relaxing our gardening-photos-only rule creates problems.

If I were to get maybe 3 or 5 different varieties, which one of those searing-hot orange or pinkish-orange roses (you know, that 70's color) are worth growing on the East Coast? The big issue here is blackspot: I can live with some spotting, but it can't defoliate before June is over.
