Tropicana Rose

Tropicana Rose
What is the best hybrid tea rose to grow in areas with cooler summer climates (i.e., SF Bay Area)?

So far, I have:

Peace
Veterans’ Honor
Voodoo
Opening Night
Celebrity
JFK
Moonstone
Tropicana
Antigua

Living in the Berkeley Hills, I’m getting dusty mildew on a few of them, so I’m looking for some real hardy types.

Sounds like you need to meet some fellow rose growers! Often a local garden club will publish info on roses especially suited to their region. Or they may have a web site with this info ready for you. Here’s the SF rose society page:

I see they have a booklet. Sounds like you need a copy!
I knew someone years ago who grew roses there…..they were absolutely beautiful, big lovely plants!

PS. ditch Tropicana, it’s a major mildew cow.

Should College Basketball adapt the Bowl system college football has?

imagine how great it would be

Rose Bowl can be played at the Staples Center
Fiesta Bowl still at University of Phoenix Center in Glendale
Orange Bowl at St.Petersburgh’s Tropicana Field
Sugar Bowl still at Louisiana Superdome
and championship rotating

wouldnt you rather have had last year, judging by the selction committees seedings

Rose Bowl-Xavier.vs.Louisville
Fiesta Bowl-Texas.vs.Duke
Sugar Bowl-Tennesse.vs.Georgetown
Orange Bowl-Kansas.vs.Memphis
National Championship-North Carolina.vs.UCLA

how much better would that be than the NCAA Tourney?

hell no!!!!!! why do you think everybody hates the college football format. They all want to go to what college basketball has. That would defeat the purpose of what is called “MArch Madness” Its all about upsets in March Madness and the bowl system is the stupidest system in all of sports.
