I went to the website. Polly Sunshine looks a treat! I do not currently have any minis, but this little Polyantha looks too good to pass up. Thanks Ann.

Thank you Ann, for enabling me to buy five roses I don't really need, and I'm not even a fan of miniatures. I ordered Polly Sunshine (thank you also jbfoodie), Blue Mist, Antique Rose, Saint Mary and Star Dust. Of course it's totally the wrong time of the year to plant and these little guys are probably extra delicate, but then they didn't offer this sale in April, did they? Anyway, I had fun!

Ingrid

Yeh, thanks, Ann. If I spend these hot days looking at roses for sale I'll be destitute by mid-July.

I could sign my name under Ingrid's message, every word of it except for rose names! Well, I had to have Renae, and they wanted a three rose order, so I added Joan Austin and Fuzzy Wuzzy Red (what a name!).

That burning smell is my credit card. Thanks, Ann.

I bought four in May when they first announced the sale. I really like 'Sweet Chariot,' and I'm looking forward to seeing the first blooms on 'Out of the Night'. That one is a Hybrid Bracteata with white flowers that look like heavily petaled tea roses, and are supposed to smell like peaches. Check out the picture below.

Ah, you're all lightweights! I placed my second and third orders yesterday and I must be up to 2 dozen. These roses are irresistible. I already have and adore Blue Mist, Pink Poodle (who could say no?), Persian Autumn, and Softee. But I had to add Renae, Fuzzy Wuzzy Red (what a sweet little plant that is), a couple of stripies, 3 more Pink Poodles (helps ease that longing I have for another poodle puppy), Mary Adair, Keith's Delight, Spring Song, Stacey Sue, Cinderella...and then I thought, hey, why stop with Ralph? So I ordered Nozomi, which I've wanted for a long time, and Yellow Lady Banks because I could. These are all like chocolate calories, right, and don't count when you're facing space restrictions? You realize that I'm at the point where I'm pulling mugs out of the kitchen cupboards, hunting for chips, just so I can have another rose pot? You're welcome to come to my garden for tea and cookies but you'll be drinking roses!

bellegallica, Out of the Night is to die for. Absolutely exquisite. Lucky you. I hope you post pictures when it blooms for you.

seattlesuze, you are too funny! I already have two of Blue Mist and ordered my third, I love that little rose. It definitely looks good with old roses. I'm hoping you're right about them not counting when you're facing space (or, even worse, water) restrictions.

Ingrid

I looked on their site when the sale was first announced. Almost bought Jeanne LaJoie, but to fill in the order I didn't know which ones if any had good BS resistance. So I bailed. I don't know anything about minis except for the ones I've seen at the grocery store and Lowes - no-names that have died or been eaten up by BS when I bought them in the past (and deadheading them was a full-time job.) And their tiny little blooms don't exactly send me. And I didn't know really what size to expect in Florida. If anyone could advise me, I might be able to burn up my credit card, too. (Connie, you weren't meaning "cutting up", were you?)

Sherry

I was sitting on my hands not to place another order, but just couldn't help myself. This time I got Cinderella, Dresden Doll (a miniature moss!), and Sharon's Delight. Sharon's Delight looks like a hybrid musk, a really beautiful thing. According to helpmefind one of its parents is the old Tea rose, Safrano. I linked a pic below.

Ingrid, while watering Out of the Night this morning I noticed two tiny buds starting to form. Made me very happy. I will try to get some good pics to post.

Sherry, there are other things there besides minis. I don't know how much is left, but I do remember seeing Hybrid Rugosas, Hybrid Bracteatas, and other shrub types back in May. Have fun shopping!

Here is a link that might be useful: Sharon's Delight (beautiful!!!)

I'm not really a mini person but simply love the 'Rose Gilardi' that I have by my front porch (it's available and I highly recommend it, if you have it someplace where you can keep it deadheaded). Sherry, I don't know how it would be for BS - it's spotless here.

Renae is NOT a mini. Full-sized climber, thornless, drooping peach-like foliage, pink sweet-scented flowers, constant bloom. Don't think it's very cold-hardy and don't know about BS, but it's a winner here.

Jackie IS a mini, but it climbs to a good 15 feet in the cemetery. I am sure it would be smaller elsewhere. We don't prune it, just let it climb a tree.

I couldn't resist The Dahlia Rose, and really wanted Sharon's Delight but had no place AT ALL to put it. Bought many of the other ones that y'all did, and am now regretting not getting Mr. Bluebird, Pink Jewel and Fuzzy Wuzzy red. The last two are gone - and I don't know what else I'd order, so I will resist putting in another order!

Here's my list -
Angel Darling Baby Cecile Brunner
Blue Mist Cherry Hi
Dresden Doll Jewel Box Polly Sunshine Softee Star Dust Stars 'n Stripes
Tiny Tears

Anita

I did it, and I hope I'll feel better about it when they arrive. But my thought was that they can go in the big pots I have and not outgrow the pots. How cool! I just wish the shipping had not been more that the roses.

My list:
Pam Tillis
Pink Above All
Sharon's Delight
Alternate: Red Fairy

Sherry

Oh, I'm loving this post. I feel so much better now that I have company and that, yes, some of you ordered more than I did. My list was actually twice as long to start out with, but a few of my still-functioning brain cells kicked in at the last moment. But honestly, this is a great deal and there are still some pretty roses left. I just wish I had known about this when the sale first began.

Ingrid

Not to worry, Ingrid. They released many of the roses just a day or so ago. You had a splendid selection!

Ralph Moore is a genius, and I love his roses. There's nothing light-weight about what I did yesterday with my Nor-East order. Many of the roses they released the other day were ones that have not been commercially available in my memory. I ordered about 3/4 of the latest releases ... I have most of the others. It's gonna take a fork-lift to deal with the box. (Thank Heaven I have space along the garage fence to plant them all.)

My credit card is safely tucked back into its slot in my wallet (not cut up .. thanks, Sherry). It's just gonna smart for a little while. I'm not one to live by 'delayed gratification'. These roses were available NOW, so I pulled the trigger and got the ones I wanted. I'll deal with the bill when it arrives.

Connie

Just to be a good sport, I picked out a few--Renae, Ring of Fire, Si, Magic Dragon--and wondered where I was going to put them. Then I figured out where I was going to put them and bought a total of 17 (price break on shipping).
