Hi Mike,
This is so weird - I used to post on Garden Web all the time but now, it has been months since I had a chance to take a peek and what do you know, the first thing I see is your note asking about the new introductions from Nor'East. I plan to order a few of them (especially Climbing Kristin)!

The rose I can tell you about is my sport, Tyrelle. This is a lovely pure white rose that will grow much the same as Jeanne Lajoie. It also has the same foliage. It is not an exhibition rose but is a terrific garden rose and blooms from early summer to past Halloween up here in Wisconsin!

A friend of mine called me today to say that he had received the brochure from Nor'East and saw my rose so he was excited that he actually knew someone. I wish Nor'East would send me one of the brochures...after all...Anyway, Mike, I appreciate your very timely posting. Oh, and one more thing, the Tyrelle rose growing in my yard is in a location with very limited sun and still performs very well.

I agree it's sneaky, I just got the mailer but I saw them on their site first. I have Edisto and Sunswept coming this week. Just plain liked their looks and description, no other info sorry. I eyed Coffee Bean, but I have the climber Pennies From Heaven which is a russet with lavender and really like that one.

First two blooms on Sunswept, I like this one already.

I had already ordered my roses from them for the year and luckily I had already ordered Tiddlywinks..It is a wonderful little rose and I can't wait to see it in full bloom!!

I ordered Coffee Bean, Edisto, Lady Bren, Power POint, and Show Stopper from Nor'east as far as new mini's go. I also ordered Irresistible, White Chocolate, and Pam Tillis which are older roses that I didn't have.

Very nice choices, I hope you'll post pics of them this summer. These should look terrific together:)
