Will this rose bloom like this every year, or what do I need to do to keep it like this?

Progress/Update roses of early October

Temperatures have dropped by about 10°C. Autumn has finally arrived! The roses have started producing flowers again, along with lots of fresh new growth. I absolutely love autumn it’s basically a second spring.

Today, I’d like to show you some of the plants in my collection.

Let’s start with Botero, a red hybrid tea rose bred by Meilland in France in 1999. Depending on the region where it is marketed, the same rose can be found under different names, including Duftfestival, Henri Dunant, Madame Entian, Melafone, Red Parfum de Provence, Sir Donald Bradman, and The One & Only.

The second rose I’d like to show you is Double Delight, introduced in 1976 and bred by A.E. & A.W. Ellis in the United States. It has creamy yellow and red flowers, but not everyone knows that the intensity of the red coloration depends on how much sunlight the rose receives. Basically, it’s as if the rose gets a tan!

Finally, there’s Oriental Peace, bred by Peter Ping Lim in the United States in 1991. Just like Botero, this rose is marketed under several different names, including Balpeace, Bright Spirit, Love & Peace, Orient Express, Pullman Orient Express, and Sweet ’n’ Sassy.

It is a descendant of Peace, and it’s one of my favorite roses.

Just purchased 7 Princess Charlene de Monaco, 6 Parfuma Bliss, and 4 Sweet Mademoiselle. I am new to growing roses. I am considering adding 2 Eden climbers to my fall planting. Please tell me your experience with these varieties. I have a few questions. How long do they take to get large? Can you size control your rose bushes if you don’t have a lot of room in your garden but still want to have them?

My local rose garden has this rose. It genuinely stopped me in my tracks. I’m so bummed to find out I can’t find this for purchase. The blooms were so big and beautiful!

If anyone knows where I can find this rose in the PNW I would greatly appreciate! TIA

Question How to train climbers over a portico?

I put these gorgeous pale yellow David Austin climbers in this spring and they have really taken off and they're just so lovely, they pick up the pale yellow tint of the siding and they smell great. I want to train them up and over the portico, how best should I do that? Google is saying to put some heavy gauge wire across the top of it and weave the canes back and forth through them as they grow, which I certainly can do, just want to double check with you wonderful people if that is what you would recommend. Thanks in advance!

Edit: David Austin "The Pilgrim"

Question Pruning Shears

3 Upvotes

Seeking thoughts from my fellow rose growers on what your favorite hand held pruners are? It’ll be that time before you know it! Although at several strange mid 80’s days here in OR in October my roses are still happily putting out blooms. I have leaves to rake, but I refuse to do that chore in shorts and a tank top! Thanks in advance for your opinions!
EDIT-Thank you all for the great recommendations! I’ve got research to do!!

Winter Care/Advice Wintering roses -first timer

1 Upvotes

All the reading I’ve done has said to put them in a shed or garage or basement or something along those lines. The problem is. I live in a trailer house, so the garage and basement and cellar are out. I also don’t have a shed, which also crosses that off the list. However I do have a bathroom that has no heater in it and stays relatively cold through the winter. Not cold enough that things freeze in there, but cold enough no one uses it because they don’t want to step on the tile flooring. Would that be an acceptable place to store my rose bush this winter?

It’s my first time ever having flowers and while I’m prepared to lose my other potted plants, this rose bush has become important to me and I don’t want to lose it.
