Rose to compliment Gertrude Jekyll on my Arch

[scotkat]

I have been searching and think I have decided on New Dawn.

What do you all think?

 

[Becky]

Just done a quick search and found these photos - are they right?

Gertrude Jekyll:

New Dawn:

I think they would look lovely together! If you wanted something more dramatic, how about something with a more peachy tone like English Elegance?

scotkat - I agree with you " New Dawn " would be a good choice and the only other alternatives that I can up with at a moments notice are

" Pink Promise " - which is very similar to " New Dawn "

" Rosa Variegata di Bologna " - which picks up the darker coloring of " Gertrude Jekyall " perfectly and as I've seen them planted together - know they look stunning

Thank you Becky and Geta nice choices that Pink Promise is beautiful.

I have also came across Aloha so now which one shall I choose only got room for 1 more rose on my arch.

I am not sure how to capture an image to let you see Aloha.

Here is a picture of Aloha, it's such a gorgeous rose:

I've never seen it in person. Does it produce fragrant flowers?

It's a very difficult choice, Scotkat, all of these roses are stunning. But I think that my favorite are Gertrude Jekyll and Aloha

Claudine I have one made up my mind and ready now readŷ to place my order and iit is Aloha.

 

[Becky]

Excellent choice, can't wait to see some photos later this year when it has bloomed!

It's so beautiful and was just away to order when got email from crocus plants.

And. Falstaff.

Thought I had made up my mind.

 

[claudine]

Wow, "William Shakespeare" looks like "Aloha", only the color is different. I still like Aloha more, because I love pale pink and white flowers
Flip a coin, Scotkat, both of these roses are gorgeous, so whichever you choose, it will be a good choice
Personally, I'd purchase Aloha

 

[scotkat]

And Pink Promise is a lovely shape

 

[Becky]

Ha ha you are like a kid in a sweetshop! What did you opt for in the end, or are you still deciding?

 

[scotkat]

Lol well just away to orderAloha after all that no change of mind now

 

[claudine]

It's a great choice. All roses are beautiful, but I'm sure that Aloha will look especially gorgeous with Gertrude Jekyll. Their shapes are quite similar, so together, they'll make a perfect combination.
Buying new plants is always so much fun!

All ordered everyone so looking forward to her coming.

Have used Stakehill Nurseries

All of the colors are beautiful in the above pictures. I will be adding some new roses to my yard this year also and the suggestions that have been made here will help me to choice.

It is time to start thinking about what I want in the yard because it will be time before we know it although looking out the window right now I still see snow on the ground.

I think that the 2 you chose are going to look great together. I'd love to be able to grow roses like that but I live in an apartment. Unfortunately, that's not a good environment for growing roses.
