We have roses started in the Greenhouse for early blooms! The following are varieties that seem to do well in our eastern NC zone 8A summers!
| Variety | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Olivia Rose Austin | The modern benchmark. Rarely defoliates, blooms constantly, survives neglect. Repeat customers specifically ask for it. |
| Lady of Shalott | Heat tolerant + nearly disease immune in the Southeast. Often functions as a small climber. |
| Princess Alexandra of Kent | Huge flowers + strong fragrance but still tough enough for normal homeowners. |
| Desdemona | One of the few white Austins that tolerates humidity well. |
| The Poet’s Wife | Yellow that actually stays healthy (rare). Strong fragrance sells it. |
| Gabriel Oak | One of the first “new era” Austins bred for disease resistance. Performs far better than older reds. |
| Eustacia Vye | Handles heat better than most apricot tones. Repeat blooming strong. |
| Emily Brontë | Clean foliage + compact — landscapers like it. |
| Roald Dahl | Bulletproof in heat and sun. Good gateway Austin for Knock-Out customers. |
| Queen of Sweden | Upright architecture — works in modern landscapes. Rare disease complaints. |
| Tranquillity | Reliable white hedge rose in humid climates. |
| Bring Me Sunshine | Bright yellow customers want but easier than Golden Celebration. |
