I am removing all roses that havn't preformed well. Will try a few new realeases but was wondering has anyone had any success with the following.
Eliza,In appreciation(2004),Joy of life,Remember me,Sightsaver(2004), Alexander, First prize,Orange silk and Tarantella.
Also which would be better Moviestar(95) or Superstar(60)?
When choosing new roses I presume many of the ones listed as idea cut flower are better off grown in glass houses and don't do well in the garden, I say this because I bought Amadeus and Circus99 both havn't done much. |

Super Star was the first of the glowing oranges and there are much better ones now.Rusticana and Valencia have been praised here recently.

Hi
My Sightsaver has had a few blooms,a bit disappointing as I love the fragrance.It may be better next season having grown in a bit. Mine is only a few months old. I have had a sensational year with First Prize. I moved it into a better spot during last winter and it has doubled in height and produced fantastic blooms.
I dont have any of the others you mentioned.
Another beauty has been Claire rose and Blue Moon.
Fionas Wish and Just Joey have also been great.
Having a bit of trouble with black spot.I have to check all the time. I guesss its the weather for it.
cheers |

First Prize is one of my better performing HT's. Huge flowers - nice shade of pink - in this weather I find it goes a lovely apricot shade in the centre. Not much fragrance to me - but pretty disease resistant.
