I just love the China's! So what if their growth is airy and their foliage may be somewhat sparse. I also know that their blossoms are not the greatest to behold in the Rose Kingdom-- all is forgotten come summer when they bloom non-stop, a very enviable quality. Now that you know I love China's; I would like to get a list of China's that will do well in Zone 6B. Our heat index is 8.

Any suggestions as to what China rose types will do well in Northeastern Oklahoma will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Bill

You should definitely try 'Mutabilis.

I grew 'Mutabilis' in the past-- the results were less then outstanding, but I may try it again. My 'Archduc Charles' froze to the ground along with "Belfield" [Slater's Crimson China'] and 'Hermosa'. All of these came back from the roots, but the Archduc is still pouting. We garden in zone 6B, but in April of this year we had 35 - 40 mph winds with a temp of 12 F degrees.

Thank you for your suggestion-- At least 'Mutabilis' never froze back, but it just didn't do well for me (it could have been a bad clone or maybe its the way I took care of it). I will however, try again .

Best regards,
Bill
