Ginni and Andy,
I've recently moved in Oak Park and am lucky to have a large sunny garden. I have some favorite roses that I will plant.
Could you suggest roses that you find to have the best repeat here in Illinois? Any height, any color (except orange). I have lots of room and plan to put in many this fall and next spring.
Thanks for your photos. Beautiful!
Lori

Hi there,
I have found that the David Austin rose named Tamora is one of the best for me, it's a pale peach color, but not what I'd call orange. It has a great fragrance and repeats like crazy all thru the blooming season. Another one we love is Liebeszauber, a very hardy red rose. We also like Queen Elizabeth(pink), First Prize(mauve), Paradise(mauve)David Austin's Charlotte(yellow) and Heritage(pink), Yves Piaget(pink), Francois Rabelais(red), Carefree Beauty(pink), Carefree Sunshine(yellow) and Knock Out (red).
I hope this helps!
Ginni
