More sighs over this visual feast - and another to add to the wish list: the dark and mysterious beauty, Alice Vena. You're wonderful to post these! :-)

Gorgeous roses and beautiful photos - wonderful to look at on this dark, rainy evening.

What a nice specimen of SdlM.
And that Alice Vena (Cranford) bloom is unsurpassed.

Labrea, your own roses look very lovely. Could you tell me what is the name of the rose in the right corner on the first photo? I am very impressed by your specimen of Souvenir de la Malmaison. My new band of SdlM is just a couple of inches tall and it would be a dream come true for me if it would grow into a rose like yours.

I also really like the look of Duchess of Albany, Red Moss and Alic Vena. These roses are all new to me and I will see if I can find a little bit more information about them.

Thanks for posting this beautiful photos, it is such a welcome treat for me hanging in there in rainy and stormy California.

Florence

labrea, thanks for the info about your roses in picture number one! I have heard and read very conflicting reports about Hermosa, but for you this rose obviously does fantastic!

Spectacular pics. What are the names of the pink roses in the first pic?

Hermosa and Lafrance

Oh boy, that's very exciting to see that the rose in the mystery photo is Hermosa! I have two, planted last year, that did pretty well for young plants, but I now have hopes that they will mature into something like in the beautiful picture! All of the other roses are beautiful, also.
