Zepherin Drouhin is a magnificent color. How short do you make her at pruning time? Do she blossom all along the cane? TIA

Thanks Iris_Gal .This was pruned heavily the summer of 2012 to about 3 feet or so.. I guess that helped. She is 7 years now!!!She maily blossoms on the laterals, and I bent some canes to produce more laterals.. I did not know it would.. found out later about pegging ..

All your roses are beautiful, but your ZD is really special! Love the color.

I love that song from Tangled - which was a really good movie.

Wow! Your Zeffy is amazing!!! And I've always liked Ballerina (I don't have it). How is Ballerina's repeat?

Lovely roses!

Thanks Mailshadow. Laterals blooming is exactly what it looks like. And if she can be kept in control, why then she's a candidate for my tiny garden. Almost thornless it says at HMF. Wow.

Thx Iris_Gal.Actually, she us COMPLETELY Thornless. Her canes are very flexible , so she must be easy to train. She can get Huge if you let her, but if you keep her controlled she will do well too-- like I pruned mine in 2012 to only 3 feet -- even the main cane was cut off.. She always bounces back though , nd how.. The only problem with her is after the spring show is done , she gets black spot here in my zone 6 NJ Climate..I do not yet spray on my roses..I let them be.. she comes back in fall, and throws up some flowers- not as heavy as spring flush, but interestingly , her fall colors are a deeper pink , I Highly recommend this rose.

Canadian_Rose, Ballerina is a delightful different rose .. Her prettiest flush is in June. However , she ALWAYS has flowers on her. Even now, in november . She does not seem to have too much of a fragrance .. but in June, she can teach those Hydrangeas to control their pride ...and tell them that she is the queen after all.. I think she is a pretty strong rose.. I had her in the front of my home which is north facing and due to deer problem, she grew but was not super happy-- deer preferred my other roses to her though and she was their last resort.. So, in 2012, I transplanted her in the middle of hot summer to ny backyard which I got fenced and she lost EVERY LEAF.. I thought I Killed her, but she rebounded and is quite happy. She too gets blackspot ,and because her leaves are very small , it shows more on her.. I think next year I will spray her with a fungicide to control it a little.. But again , a delightful rose.

Your roses are just spectacular, especially ZD and her special color. I love Ballerina, a favorite of mine, and yours looks lovely against the classy fence. Jude is also another favorite, a real beauty. Thanks for the glimpse of your garden. Diane
