Penny, thanks for forwarding the comments on the Zephirine Drouhin. I just
planted six of them and I will now stand back and see what happens.

Pauline, another word of caution on planting those ZD roses:
......................
Penny,
I've got four ZD's in my garden.
In coastal South Carolina, mildew will be a problem - tell her to plant them
where there is plenty of air circulation. And, yes, as everyone says, plant
them now. ZD takes a year to establish. Then, if she's happy, she'll bloom
like gangbusters. Being a Bourbon, her heaviest blooms will be spring
and fall, but mine always have a blossom or two - and oh! the fragrance!
One more thing: Tell her to give them plenty of room because of the mildew!
