That Teasing Georgia is new to me and looks great, always a fab bonus if a rose smell rosey. I only buy roses that are carefree, but as Crow (I think) suggested on another thread, Bayer Rose & Flower Care is a good product. I use it once a year.

Good tips and suggestions gardenator. For me, the Nacogdoches rose looks not so robust over the winter, but always comes back and is just beautiful. I have a rose bush transplanted from up the road that's over 100 yrs old and it does the same thing.

I have had Chamblee's ship roses to me b/c there's not enough room in my cars. Really good way to get them and as I recall shipping wasn't too bad and the roses arrived in excellent condition.
