Johnny Sirko: English doubleflowering roses, they are pretty and dependable in the South Carolina area. God Bless, Martha S
Myriam Hetjonk: With proper maintenance a rose shrub will grow. I strongly urge you to seek a true Landscape Nursery for a planting. To purchase a Rose at Wal-Mart is like buying Toilet Paper at a Gas Station. That said and done you must consider the Creme of the Shrub Roses. A Meidlander Shrub Rose. They come in a variety of colors. They love the pruning and shearing you give them. They need the neccessary fert and water however.They are relatively resistant to both insect and disease. I used these plants as a centerpiece at a University in downtown Philadelphia some twenty years ago. People thought I was crazed. Your temps and humidity are similar to this situation. I was no longer crazed when the Roses bloomed in late April and continued until Mid-December!! I presented the largest opponet to my garden with a collection of Red a! nd White Roses, freshly cut, from the garden, on Dec.23rd. They still need the protective sprays of dormant oil, an anti-fungus is high humidity (your area), and the regular irrigation and fert. You will love this plant. I use it today in rock gardens and by sidewalks in my designs. People see it as a rose but do not believe it is so. Good Luck....Show more
Barrett Alosa: I just put in some knock out variety-- noticed businesses are using them a lot-- I'll let you know next year. good luck
Porfirio Gartland: Roses have been center pieces of gardens for centuries without modern chemicals. Species roses and early hybrids are more shrub-like, and tend to be more insect- and disease-resistant than their modern cousins. Roses developed originally in South Carolina are the Noisettes. Noisettes are the easy, graceful, fragrant fulfillment of everything a Southern rose should be. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1082/is_n4_...'Natchitoches Noisette' Roses ! The original identity of this found old rose is a mystery. Alt! hough definitely an old-timer, it was unknown until Bill Welch discovered it growing on an old gravesite in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The rose's parentage is unknown, but its medium-size, cupped, light pink flowers borne in clusters are typical of Noisettes, and so is its tendency to flower throughout the year. Accordingly, this foundling has been fairly securely labeled. Whatever its origins, 'Natchitoches Noisette' is an outstanding shrub with a neat, compact habit of growth, a light but pleasant fragrance, and exceptionally disease-resistant foliage.http://www.herbs2000.com/flowers/r_c_noisette.htmThen there is the native, but spiney, Rosa roxburghii or Chestnut Rose.http://homechannel.aol.com/aolhome/gallery/archive...Studies of disease resistance of groundcover and shrub roses was done at the Brewton Experiment Field, Alabama in the winter of 1998 - 99. They received black spot ratings 1 - 10 from this experiment. Two rating mean two years evaluation. 1- no disease, 2 =! very few spots in lower canopy, 3 = a few spots in lower and upper canopy, 4 = some spots with light defoliation in lower canopy, 5 = spots noticeable with noticeable defoliation.The Fairy 1.0 - 1.0Mystic Meidiland 5.2 - 3.0Pearl Meidiland 5.6 - 5.8Fushia Meidiland 4.8 - 1.0Rosa mutabulis (butterfly rose) 3.8 - 5.6Carefree Wonder 4.4Hansa 1.4Pink Grootendorst 3.8hybrid tea Double Delight 6.8...Show more
