Bare root roses

pitter-patter

I’ve been reading from the 2019 rose thread and as a result I’ve just ordered five bare root roses. 🌹  I was meant to ask this question there, but the thread has been closed. I’ve chosen them based on fragrance and disease resistance. I know Aloha has been recommended here as a very healthy fragrant climber. Has anyone any experience of growing the other ones?

..oh my, I would like all of those... lucky you !...  I smelt Pure Poetry this summer.. lovely fragrance.. large blooms, very deep colour.... Sweet Honey I want very much and Lady Waterlow is a climber and an interesting historical rose from Nabonnand in France.. I love all those Nabonnand roses... I don't think I've seen one I didn't like the look of...

...enjoy your roses.... great choices !...

Thank you, @Marlorena. You are very much part of the reason I’m buying these roses. Your enthusiasm and passion for growing them is contagious. You’ve inspired and helped so many of us in our choices.

@pitter-patter... that's so kind, thank you... I shall look forward to seeing how they do for you over the coming season...

I have Joie de Vivre, it's a reliable rose, repeating quickly and easy to grow. Not too fragrant but pretty and healthy.

Thank you, @edhelka. We’re buying our first home, so I’m very excited about the garden. It’s not large, but it’s bigger than the one we have now and I can do whatever I want with it. Definitely no space for lawn!
