Pretty much everything has shut down due to the high heat we've been having, but a couple did manage to open :) I've included a couple of foliage pics as well..

Enjoy, Tammy

Blanc di Vibert

"RVR Mystery 2011-07" I kind of like this one :)

Dragon Wings (I've never actually photographed its blooms)
{{gwi:1241229}}

Lastly, not really a good picture, but kind of funny. This was SUPPOSSED to be "Golden Showers" from Big Lots...I'm pretty sure there's nothing golden about it :)

Tammy your roses are lovely! I am loving the crisp clean whiteness of Blanc di Vibert and Meteor is the prettiest shade of pink.

Too funny on your Big Lots rose, I bought one from there that was supposed to be Broadway and it is red just like yours with no scent. Blah. I knew it was a long shot -- now I just have another to give away. It's always fun to give them a try though, you never know what you're going to get ;)

Do Dragon Wings and Bullata "live up" to the leaves?

Like your blooms.

I'm really taken with Dragon Wings' prickles and Bullata's leaves--I didn't know roses could take those odd shapes (and be "normal," that is). But your red Golden Showers takes the cake, without a doubt!

Ascot as usual is lovely, as are Blanc di Vibert and Proserpine--good photos.

blanc di vibert and meteor are stunning!

I have green romantica too... mine is more green, but the form isn't anywhere near as nice as yours.
It is new though.

Thank you for all the comments :)

Inga, Dragon Wings just has very very oridinary blooms (single whites that fade fast), but Bullata's blooms are just as pretty as her leaves...big, pink, and beautiful!

Lovely blooms, and thorns. Wow, I don't think my GREEN ROMANTICA has ever bloomed. Wonder what happened to it? Nice to see ASCOT. I just got it from Palatine this season. Hasn't bloomed yet. Looks really nice!

Your roses are quite nice. Congratulations on actually getting Blanc de Vibert to bloom. It is quite pretty when it actually flowers. Mine had a 100% bud failure again this spring. Do you have any problems with it? I've concluded it doesn't like our climate here.

Don't let Green Romantica fool you, Beth :) It usually balls like crazy and is a mildew magnet. While the blooms actually opened this time, they are about the size of a quarter! lol

Bustopher....I've actually never had a problem getting Blanc de Vibert to bloom...and it repeats decently too. I got mine 3 years ago from Pickering. Maybe there's something in my climate, that yours lacks...weird though.

Beautiful roses but it's interesting to see the other parts besides the blooms!
