We usually have a good selection of striped roses, including those three, in our rose society rare rose auction, which is held in November every year. If you don't find them before then, please stop by our website www.ccrsauction.com in, say, August, which is when we usually figure out what we can sell for that year. Right now the information on the website mostly concerns last year's auction. I also collect suggestions from whereever as to what people are looking for during the year, and I grow two of those three roses you mentioned (Camille and Alfred), so I'll try to get those started to give to the auction this time. Your timing in asking is just about perfect. Thank you Kathy

I saw a stunning red rose in front of a town home near the Met. It fit the tight space very well. I think that it is Red Cascade, but am not sure. Brooklyn Botanic Garden has several spetacular, fully-grown Dublin Bay climbers, but that rose might be too big for you. I grow both Blaze Improved and Don Juan. BI's bloom last longer, but the blooms are not particulary pretty and resmeble double knockouts in color and shape. DJ has big, silky and very fragrant blooms. However, DJ gets a lot more blackspot than BI here in my garden. DJ has a upright growth habit, while Blaze will through out canes in all directions, which might annoys the neighbor. My guess is that you might want to avoid BI. BI is a work horse in terms of giving out blooms, while DJ is stingierw with repeats. My plants are very young (2-year old), so maybe someone around area know from first hand experience how they do once they are mature. BTW, if you do like BI, get Blaze Improved, not Blaze as BI has better repeat, or so I heard.

Thanks for all your comments. So far 'Moonlight' has won the top of my list; for scent and beauty. Plus it is an Old Rose from 1913 and is one- half Tea rose, (bred from Sulphura) and I collect Teas and Tea-Hybrids). So there is a lot to be grateful for, I wish Pemberton were still alive so I could thank him for his wonderful roses. Here's why I've chosen Moonlight over the others; I bought 'Jim Henley' at a Sacramento Cemetery sale a few years ago, it blooms more pink than white for me, it does gets a lot of attention for such a small blooming rosebush, the foliage is glorious, it appears like something tropical to me, but I can't detect much scent from it. I have it growing up the back and trailing out of the front branches of a peach tree by a sidewalk. I adore Secret Garden Musk Climber' but had to get rid of it due to the fact that I don't spray and it always looked as though it was frosted with powdery mildew. Great fragrance, though. Kew Gardens is such a Beauty! Listed as having little to no scent. Bother! Sally Holmes is great for landscaping but the blooms are a little to big for what I want in bouquets. Grace Seward is a little treasure!, but not greatly fragrant I believe. It reminds me of another mini I had years ago called 'Simplex', which died in the drought, I'm sorry to say. I love single roses. LIsa, thanks for the info about Boule de Neige,at High Country Roses, Again, thanks to all, Lux.

mustbnuts - I think those are beautiful! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. You reminded me that when I have friends smell this rose, some say that it doesn't have a lot of fragrance, which I find surprising because I can smell it from where I am standing while they are sniffing it with their nose buried in the bloom. So different people might experience it differently. Some of my first blooms 4 years ago: In the heat today (close to 100). May 29 this year: May 9th this year they were little pink cabbages that didn't open up more than this. This is typical for the first flush for me. So as dianela says, the form varies a lot. Even the color varies quite a bit.
