I just received my first and put them in containers for now. I went for cold hardy, reliable and most importantly, own root. I chose Lady of Shalott, Benjamin Britton and Scepter'd Isle.

I've recently relocated from central Virginia to West Virginia right below Maryland, so am learning to garden in a much colder area. I suspect my conditions are a bit like yours in PA. Our property is large like yours and I have big plans for it so I really appreciate the design and planning info you are sharing here. I'm following you here and on Pinterest so I don't miss a lick!

In general they seem to be quite disease-prone (I am strictly organic), also not thrilled with the overall habit and presentation - large, heavy flowers and weak-ish stems. The blooms look great in close-ups (as in their catalog photos) but not so great in my garden, so far. Could be the specific varieties I have, of course. I don't have any of the ones you've selected! Also I know I have too much shade - may have to pare down my roses altogether. I'll be waiting to hear how they do for you!spurgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576503805188297240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-34837298297119049822015-03-14T10:14:01.288-04:002015-03-14T10:14:01.288-04:00I am thrilled to see more details of your gardens ...I am thrilled to see more details of your gardens and oh the roses....I wish I could grow more.Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-23054450228177411392015-03-13T00:03:29.099-04:002015-03-13T00:03:29.099-04:00Woo hoo for DA roses!

Emma and Munstead will look fabulous together in your garden!

Worth it, perhaps? :) Though it would need some winter care of course... which is often my down fall with perennial containers. <br />~JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-82090324646188527912015-03-12T16:15:57.657-04:002015-03-12T16:15:57.657-04:00Thanks Angie.

The foliage was one of the factors that attracted me to it, as well as it being a bit more subdued a color than "Lady of Shalott". <br />~JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-35243535046758717602015-03-12T16:11:51.321-04:002015-03-12T16:11:51.321-04:00Thanks Pauline!
