I only have one striped rose and it is a climber called Berries N Cream. Lots of flowers and no BS.

I too have one striped climber called Raspberry Cream Twirl, beautiful blooms & no BS for me.

Neil Diamond (which is the rose in my avatar) is just about my favorite rose in any color, and I have grown over 150 varieties over the years, in Austin and Dallas, so similar climate to yours.

It’s big, bold, spectacularly fragrant, and long lasting. (I find most stripes, esp, Scentimental seem to be very fleeting). It blooms freely and keeps size and petal count in the hottest weather.

I have Raspberry Cream Twirl but its a climber. No thorns, dark green glossy leaves, large blooms in clusters of 4 sometimes 5. Not much scent but I love it. I just got Peach Swirl and its full of buds I can hardly wait!

It's one that I don't have but am thinking of purchasing the all-American magic rose looks really cool. But I cant say how it performs since I don't grow it.

I do not grow many, actually, only one striped rose... I think.... I like the way this one looks next to Grande Dame.

Guy Savoy..

My apologies for the not so great image...

I'm not as wild about stripes as I was at first. I like them for contrast. I think my favorite two are Vick's Caprice and Wonderstripe because they have softer colors here. I do like Rosa Mundi. I like the climbing or shrub mini, Hurdy Gurdy. Have a new one from Cynthia, Edgar Degas which seems to be a good healthy plant. Alfred Sisley is pretty and very healthy with great repeat.

Vick's Caprice

Wonderstripe is the second pic and Edgar Degas the third.

Candice can be stripey, but not in this image :>/ This is by far my favorite striped rose because it has appears as if the petals are hand painted and then placed in those big cabbagey blooms.

Erasmus - I adore your Vick's Caprice and Wonderstripe!!! Oh swoon!!!

If I were you, I would probably keep George Burns and get rid of Scentimental.

Carol

Wow! Vick’s Caprice is lovely.

Oh dang, I need a Strawberry Swirl to go with my Peach Swirl and Raspberry Cream Twirl ...keepin it swirly and twirly lol. Why do I want ice cream right now :)

My 'Abracadabra' was a new band last year, so I can't say much about it. It seems to have taken it's winter in a pot very well (in my basement and garage, not outside), and while I lost the old branch it has thrown two new baby basal canes!

I got 'All American Magic' last year (late in the year) so it's been in a pot too. It threw three (!) blooms for me before I got it in a bigger pot. Although they were small they still had fragrance (not strong, unsurprisingly) and those lovely stripes. It came through the winter like a champ!

I just got 'Hypnotized' from J&P this week! Ljsemar, how is this rose for you?

My only stripe right now is Julio Iglesias which looks very similar to Neil Diamond. It has great rebloom, smells amazing, and lasts a long time in the vase.

Don't let the pictures fool you,the blooms look small compared to the others, but it's really just that the bigger blooms are the size of my hand!

Well Beth stole most of the candidates in my yard for best stripes - Abracadabra leading the list of hers along with Red Intuition. Those are both jaw dropping intriguing roses to me and they seem to be OK about surviving zone 5 with me so far, though Red Intuition needs the most absolutely protected spot I can give it. Broceliande and Alfred Sisely have been fantastic striped roses, and I love Tropical Sunset (I should start using an alternative name though since there are too many T__ S__ names of roses in that color range). I have Alakazam (hopefully) already on order and Memphis Magic as well, and Tropical Lightning ordered. Sadly, Candy Stripe and the indescribable (and irreplaceable) Rusty were not hardy. Neil Diamond does well for me but not a ton of blooms, but Julio Iglesias hasn't been hardy even in protected zones. I dearly love Vick's Caprice, Guy Savoy and Candace, and I hope my Wonderstripe grows up to be as beautiful as those pictures (it needed a warmer spot in my yard than where I had it). I regret that Raspberry Cream Twirl and All American Magic aren't hardy for me, and Berries and Cream has just barely survived but hasn't bloomed in about 5 years.

Erasmus gave me the perfect opening though to sing the praises of my favorite striped rose - Edgar Degas. Did you actually get that rose or are you waiting for availability? I don't think the vendor(s) receiving those cuttings will be ready for orders for another couple of years. They've asked me not to say who so they're not deluged with orders they can't fill, but I can at least whet your appetites with some photos of Edgar in his splendor - blooms all season, healthy foliage, usually cane hardy, spreads in a bushy fashion and not too tall (4') and intriguing variation on each and every striped bloom that would play nicely with all kinds of other roses.

OK, OK, enough temptation when you can't buy this rose yet. When I hear word that you can, I'll be sure to let you know (and stand back...)

Cynthia

Oh my! I need one of all of these. Vicks Caprice, Caribia, Neil Diamond, Abracadabra, Red Intuition, Candy Stripe and Peach Swirl are all very enticing! I wonder if the neighbors would notice if I moved the fence over to swallow part of their yard so I can have more space.

I'm unsure as to how Hypnotized will be in the long run, but so far I like it, very healthy and beautiful blooms. It currently has a few buds on it, I'll post pictures as they open.

Just got back from the Nursery, and thought y’all would like to see the new Parade Day:

and not exactly striped, but here’s Rosie the Riveter:

Haha! Cynthia you can still post photos of those roses. It's fun to see everyone's pics for comparison. ... I'm glad you put up EDGAR DEGAS. I didn't just because I wasn't sure if he was available anywhere right now. Seems like I did see him listed somewhere tho recently. Just can't remember where. (prob'ly when I was perusing one of the Euro websites) He's a goodie tho. Love mine. Reminds me... Anybody know if Wes is going to ship roses from Agave this yr? They had EDGAR.

Here's a pic of my EDGAR DEGAS from 2016... he's still waiting to get planted..

Another good one is GRIMALDI. I see Heirloom just listed him for sale the other day. They (and HMF) list him as a salmon-pink with white stripes. But he's really more of an orange with peach stripes that fade to a pinky-orange with creamy stripes. I notice Heirloom is slowly adding a lot of new roses, many from Delbard. I hope they come up with more. I lost my PAUL CEZANNE and PAUL GAUGUIN. Hopefully they might also have those one day.

Here's a pic of GRIMALDI from last yr, also awaiting his spot in the ground...

And you mentioned GUY SAVOY... He is one heck of a monster in my yard. Grows 6-7ft tall and at least 3ft wide. Blooms pretty frequently too. I believe I saw him available on RU. He also sets hips very well. I managed to get a couple of OP seedlings from him a few yrs ago. Both were almost exactly like him, but maybe a few less stripes. He'd make a good one to breed with tho.

I should do a thread with all my stripeys (past and present) just for the heck of it. I think I probably have more than anyone else out there, except maybe Kathy Strong. She's got a lot too. I'm trying to get some of my really rare ones propagated so I can get them to either Roses Unlimited or at least to John Bagnasco for the Rare Rose Auctions down in SoCal. That's one of my goals this yr. I already potted up some ROEDEANs and RUSTYs. I'm crossing my fingers that I got about 4 ROEDEANs. They were potted up 2 months ago and still look good. Never had luck in the past. The RUSTYs I did a few weeks ago, so not sure on those yet. Not an easy one either.

My favorites are the stripes and you all have some beauties

Wow, Ben! I may need Rosie...

I just got ROSIE THE RIVETER from Edmunds last month. She almost died on me. All the canes turned brown and dried up, but the bud union was still green. I put her in the raised bed where I will later grow tomatoes, and covered her with lots of nice mulch. Just saw a new little green sprout popping up thru the mulch this morning, so I know she's going to make it!! Yay!! Was afraid I was going to have to put in a claim with Edmunds. Now I don't have to!

Oh that’s good news, Beth. I picked up Rosie and Lady in Red from a local nursery in those peat pots...I planted them early and mounded the soil...Both doing very well.

It's either scentimental or Niel Diamond rose i have planted in the ground. After 13 years of neglect, it fought blackspot and other disease by itself, and I started taking care of it last year. It's quite a nice plant and it has flourished last year and even more so this year.

Here's a pic of mine just a couple of days ago.

I'm so excited that my rock and roll plant looks so good this year . Last year I only got a handful of flowers and it barely even grew. This year it's just taking off like gangbusters

I am so looking forward to some beautiful striped roses.

Just found Parade Day at the huge Canton flea market [in Texas] for $10 - its in full bloom, really like it. I have and like Oranges & Lemons. Don't have Julio Iglesis, but its really pretty and very fragrant.

Judith

Wow Beth, those are some awesome roses!

I love Parade Day

I better keep my eyes peeled

Almeda - how did Parade Day smell?

Carol

Thanks Al! You should see how many I actually have tho... Hmmm... I should go count all the ones that are still with me. (I've lost a lot too...)

I will have to check the scent on Parade Day tomorrow - if these fierce storms we are having haven't destroyed the blooms. One that bloomed today - a $10 purchase from Canton Flea Market last year - was Tropical Lightening. Just beautiful and very different! Hadn't seen it bloom last year as I bought it in the fall - but these blooms are really different and pretty!

Judith

And I might add.....its appropriate it bloomed today - have been watching streaks of lightening go across the sky this evening!

Alameda - that is quite the coincidence!! :) Yes, please, let me know how your PD smells. :)

Carol

Carol, I smelled 3 different Parade Day blooms this morning [bear in mind they were battered by a big storm and a bit of hail last nite] - the blooms were still in good shape but I detected not one bit of scent. Maybe others will find out differently.......nonwithstanding, it is a lovely pink/white striped rose that I plan to put in my pink bed with all different kinds of pinks and think it will be lovely, even with no scent. I wouldn't let this stop you from buying it - the color really is pretty!

Judith

Where are you finding your Parade Day roses? Should I be watching for the body bags or did you order them on line?

I think Alameda mentioned a local flea market. I wouldn't have thought of finding roses in one, but I guess in TX there are a lot of rose places.

Parade Day was at my local nursery, the blooms and plant both look quite nice. The scent has a bit of fruit and spice. It was next to Neil Diamond. If Neil is a 10 for fragrance, PD is about 7.5, still definitely a good scent.

It really is a pretty rose

Judith - no scent...hmm... I'm to the point where I can't add any more roses without taking some away. So I want all of my new roses to be nicely fragrant. So thanks for the heads up. :)

BenT - 7.5 for fragrance is definitely good enough!! Yes!!! That's a gorgeous rose!

Kristine - I am going to get mine from a local (well 3 hours away) greenhouse that doesn't ship. Good luck in finding one. :)

Carol

We'd just had a huge rainstorm when I sniffed Parade Day - wonder if that could have made a difference? We are due a lot of rain tonite - I will catch a bloom that hasn't been through a deluge and see if it might have a scent. Very pretty rose........

Judith

Raspberry Cream Twirl today

Sultry - that is so neat how frogs like to hide in the roses. I'd never heard of that before I saw it on this forum. Lucky frog!

Judith - thanks! I'll be looking forward to Parade Day's sniff-worthiness. :)

Carol

bump this thread up. I'm looking for info. on Brocelliande as to the scent, and how long it will survive zone 5 winter as own-root. Thank you.

Neil Diamond is VERY WIMPY as own-root in zone 5, gave a few blooms per tiny bush, then died after a few zone 5 winters. In contrast, my neighbor had a very vigorous Rock & roll (grafted-on-Dr.Huey) that gave prettier blooms plus nicer scent than Neil Diamond.

How's Rock & roll vigor as own-root? Thank you.

Rock & Roll scent is way better than Neil Diamond (fleeting scent that's gone fast in vase) & very tiny as own-root, see below in my zone 5 garden:

my mislabeled striped rose. Bought at lowes, and it had no tag at all!

Here's another vote for Neil Diamond, but only as a budded plant. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Maurice Utrillo. It's very abundant and early to flower.

I love my baby Vick's Caprice. Just stunning flowers.

Parade Day is my favorite stripe ever!! The fragrance is top notch and sharp...I'm not good at describing fragrances. :) :) This is grown in a pot. It's a great bloomer.

My friend’s Marc chagall from costco last year looks great! Claude Monet is also really good.
