Where are you? What kind of soil do you have?
Preferences for short or tall or inbetween plants?
Do you get the requisite 6 hours of sun daily or
something less.
Hybrid Tea form or something else? Modern or
old garden rose? There are literally hundreds of
red roses - without knowing more about your situation
and preferences, it's hard to recommend a rose.
Or go to
www.helpmefind.com
and do a search on roses by color. Maybe you'll
see something you like.
Alternatively, check local nurseries and/or botanic
gardens to find out what works best for your area.
Re planting one block: I have 150 roses and no
more than three copies of any one variety. So I
don't go with the "one block of color" approach,
but that's a personal choice.
Re greenfly: Sorry, don't get it, don't know how to
control it.

Jeez, you NEVER give up, do you?
BTW, you can't even post a link to a company that offers Ingrid
Bergman. What does that say about your ability to deliver a helpful
product? Is your web site full of such unhelpful stuff, or do you get
a kickback for just mentioning Dickson?
