Umbrella trellis

11 years ago

My DH ordered two "umbrella" type rose structures. I have no idea which roses I have coming would be appropriate for these. I shall list the roses that I have newly available and try to take a picture of one of the stands. I have not put it together yet because I have a feeling I'm supposed to grow my bands larger before using them. I do have a few 5 gallon grafted roses that may be large enough now. I am in So CA zone 10a so most roses grow much bigger than is usual for them. The iron umbrellas are about 8 feet tall and then have a large circle laying on top so the rose can "fountain" down after reaching the top. I will try to post a picture.

Of what you have there listed, Louise Odier or Baronne Prevost which arch over as they get taller.

My vote would go for your Hybrid Musks -- 'Cornelia', 'Felicia', and 'Bubble Bath'.

I had one of these for my Teasing Georgia. It looked wonderful on it. Unfortunately it rusted out and blew down in a big storm. Is yours hollow or solid?

Penny Lane doesn't bloom much here in west central Florida (lots of shade, too). Darcy has been mentioned in other threads as a very good bloomer.

Agree with Christopher, especially 'Cornelia' which has a lax rambling habit; 'Felicia' is shrubbier in my garden. I don't know 'Bubble Bath'.

I also think Buford has a point!! Roses get heavy, and the higher above the ground they are the greater the leverage when the wind blows. We experienced this vividly when a mature black locust we had with a thirty foot 'Treasure Trove' in it blew down in a storm.

It is solid. I think I will anchor them with some wire to make sure the wind doesn't topple them. So, I think Cornelia for one. How about Louise Odier or Baronne Prevost for the other?

Thank you for all the help. Christopher, you have really gone above and beyond helping me. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to see how my bands grow in your "magic mix"!
