Rust, mildew, black spot, rose chafer, aphids, thorns, pruning, dead twig for 6 months. Want any more reasons!
Don't mind them in other peoples gardens.

Yep got to agree with Eric....but such a gorgeous smell and guess what, I'm planning to put some in the border under the front room window so the smell whafts in...but I don't like them as plants..Eric has listed why.

Yes I must also agree roses are yuch!
When we moved to our present house the front garden had a rose hedge one side of the drive and a load of hybrid teas on the other and so the first bit of gardening I did was to remove the lot. Nice scent though.

We have got some roses in the garden, and one or two came from Montanum's garden!

What sort of rose is it? I like the old-style roses, but I'm not so keen on these modern large-flowered things.

It's a standard rose, but the graft is of a rambler, so it becomes a weeping standard rose!! Rosa "Ballerina", but stem is not strong enough to support top!!! Tied to stake!! (But sshhh, don't tell Eric!!!!) Lottie ;D

I don't like them either, never have. Removed all the roses from our garden before I did the weeding! It is not only all the pests and diseases, but the scent on some is okay, but far from my fave, and all those petals going slimey and messy. They look most at home on a coffin! :-\

I'm quite choosy, but I love Rosa Mundi and some of the other old ones.

My friend used to say that the only good rose was a dead one. That they have diseases for half the year and the rest of the time they are just twigs with thorns. I am nonplussed by them.

Why all this negativity!! Not surprised roses are keeling over about the place, they are obviously unloved! No woolly aphid, no vine weevils, they come back year after year and they are blooming beautiful!!! Lottie ;D

I don't like shrub roses or floribundas either, but I do like bush roses, climbers and ramblers.
