Wow, when it rains it pours!! You got some good ones there Chuck. Most of mine are already here and potted up. Can't wait to see pics of everybody's new babies.

It's a little early for me to be able to compare the two as this is the first year I have Lady of Shalott. It's my third year with Teasing Georgia. So far this season, both have been very black-spot resistant, Lady of Shalott especially. And both are in their second round of bloom (we had a cold late spring so the first bloom was later than usual). In my Garden, Lady of Shalott is more apricot than orange, but she has a pale underside and a slight pink/orange edging on the petals. Teasing Georgia is more of a solid apricot for me. I don't get the triple digit temps here in Northern Michigan, but both held their blooms several days when we had weather in the low 90s. I need another year or two to evaluate winter hardiness and long-term vigor. David Austin says Lady of Shalott is one of the hardiest and easiest to grow of his roses - hope he's right. Although it may change as it matures, Lady of Shalott has more of an open vase-shaped form, while Teasing Georgia definitely wants to climb upwards (I put a pillar on her this year). Both are fragrant, but Lady of Shalott has a wonderfully sweet fruity fragrance that I love. Hope this helps you a little, dublinbay. I'll know more by next summer.

I have two teasing Georgia’s - one on either side of my long driveway. of course I planted them too close and they will probably start to spill over onto it in a couple of weeks. Is Teasing Georgia a good candidate for pegging? The canes seem pliable enough for me to fold them in and away from the driveway but I don’t know if there are any unintended consequences

Thank you, Helen. I'm helping a friend with his (rose) garden and need a low thorn climber for his "he-shed". Good health is also a requirement because I doubt he wants to spray all over something he just built. I've been eyeing James since seeing the gorgeous pictures of him growing in Bavaria. So long as he gives three flushes, I think that would suffice. It's just and extra sort of rose. Thank you for taking the time to post pictures of the canes. We also have Teasing Georgia on order and a few others you grow!! : ))
