Sam,
Very pretty photo! I get Tropicana mixed up with one I have that's similar in color (Fragrant Cloud)...at least I think they're similar! Don't you love Intrigue (when it decides to bloom, that is?!) We have 2 out front in between daylilies and peonies. They are a little darker than your pic, but your pic is gorgeous!! My daughter has a digital, but somehow I haven't figured out how to use it. :0) Phyl

Hi Phylrae,
The post where we got to know everybody was so much fun.
And Yes Fragrant Cloud Is the parent of Tropicana. A little part of my tropicana got blackspot from wet leaves, But I think I caught it in time.

I get lots of blooms on my Intrigue. its Challenging to Grow!
My Intrigue(s) And I spray with Baking Soda,To protect them from BS.

Love your bouquet, some pretty roses.

Very beautiful striking colored roses. Can't tell from your blooms you have any problems with your roses, they look great.

Thanks Pat,
I used to live in Pensacola , Didn't grow roses though. I bet Alabama Is a nice place to grow roses. We are just getting blooms here.
Hi Leslie ,
How are your new HT's. how many you got now?
I have seen a few of your post. Very nice.

Hey Sam! Thanks, I had to spend the spring transplanting instead of planting a bunch of new ones like I planned, so I didn't add as many as I had wanted to. I also switched a couple to Floribundas instead of getting HT's. I ended up with just 4 HT's, one I thought was and was a Grandiflora instead, Fragrant Plum and an English Rose. The rest were Mini Floras, Mini Climbers and Minis. My rose total now is at 47, thanks for remembering and asking, they're all doing great now:)
I look forward to you getting your friend to take some more pics for you. Glad your roses are blooming now.
Leslie
