Harold, you sure do grow some great roses! How many roses do you grow??? I see tons of them in the background in some of your pics.
Awesome!

JIM

Jim, I currently have a little over a hundred roses at this time, hope to pick up afew more next Spring. That's why I like this forum, I can see what other people are growing and having luck with and not just a picture in a catalog. THANKS
HAROLD

Harold,
Your pictures are just beautiful. It would be difficult to pick a favorite but I am interested in Hot Princess. How is she for you? I have been interested in this rose for a while. You also are growing some beautiful Austins. Keep sharing these pictures. Lesley

Lesley;so for I really like HOT PRINCESS I've only had it for a few months now, it reblooms well and they last for a good while. I won the the rose at a drawing my rose society had. THANKS for your comments and have a wonderful day.
Harold

Harold , Just wondering if you grow Tequila Sunrise or Judy Garland???

JIM

Jim I don't have either of the two roses you asked about,but TEQUILA SUNRISE is on my list for next spring.
THANKS for your comment
Harold

PS check out this site. http://www.helpmefind.com/plant/pl.php?n=3547

Thanks for the link on Judy Garland Harold!

I want to grow 2 colorful roses in large containers and place them on each side of Precious Platinum (red rose).
I can't decide...LOL

JIM

Thanks again for that link Harold! I became a member and they have good info on that site!

Clements rose Sunita is also a colorful rose to consider for me.

JIM

Those are all beautiful. I adore your Austins!! I had L.D. Braithwaite at my previous home, and it was one of my favorite roses. I would get it again in a heartbeat if I could find it nearby.

What do you think of Perfume Delight. I just love the deep uniform pink. I would love to get that one too.

Carol

What a treat your Sunday dessert is, Harold! Outstanding roses! and to think that you spent such a long time lurking, DEPRIVING US! from your lovely roses, LOL! Hee-hee, Zyperiris when I told her that Gemini and Fragrant Cloud go so well together, told me she had seen FC in person and said it was an "ugly rose" but still considered it for its fragrance; had she seen your Fragrant Cloud photos, hee-hee, I'm sure she would have gotten it in a heartbeat, lol! That is a lovely coloration of Fragrant Cloud, but I also saw its nice spiraling classical petal formation at your bouquets as well. I just forgot to comment on that. My Fragrant Cloud is never classical in its formation, it's big showy and pouffy like a flamenco ruffle, but never classical hybrid beauty. I am also enjoying the petal formation of your Chicago Peace; in Kansas nurseries, Chicago too is always big pouffy and ruffly, never classical in its petal formation. You're doing some pretty amazing rose magic, Harold!

Harold, your roses all look wonderful! I have never saw Chicago Peace quite like that though, that is a very unique and different color. Are you sure it is CP?

THANKS everyone for your kind words I love sharing my roses with everyone. Most of my roses are only two years old and haven't reach their potential yet, so I've been told.
Serenasyh; your right about CHICAGO PEACE & FRAGRANT CLOUD not being classical hybrid teas but beautiy is in the eye of the beholder.

CAROL; I don't really like PERFUME DELIGHT it has a beautiful bud but the bloom is kind of weak and dosen't last long. But like I said this is its second year and I my have a bad plant it happens.

Jim: I'm glad you liked the rose site, I've learn a lot from it. Again everyone THANKS LOL
HAROLD

Ramblinrose; I bought CP from J&P roses and the metal tag says it's CP. THANKS for your wonderful comments.LOL
HAROLD

PS check this out. http://www.jacksonandperkins.com/gardening/PD/00243/

I've had PERFUME DELIGHT for 8 years+ and I've been ready to shovel prune for the past 5 years. Short-lived blooms is right.

There must be another of that color which will last more than 2 days in a bouquet.

THANKS, iris gal; I'm sharping up my shovel as we speak.haha
HAROLD

Well if you have a tag that says, "Chicago Peace" then I am sure it is Chicago Peace.......silly me LOL :D

Ramblinrose, Lol! you and I just see Chicago Peace in its typical big, pouffy, ruffly and rainbow sorbet colors. Chicago Peace in our nurseries, especially in Kansas never! are classical in shape, unlike Harold's miracle CPs.

Hahaha! I think he's embued them with his magic touch!

But speaking of colors if you actually google search Chicago Peace images, some do come with just pale and pink edging like Harold's. They are just in the wayyyy minority.

Here is an example:

Ramblinrose a tag means very little to me friendship means much more. I have no way of knowing if the rose is really CP but my limted knowelege of roses has taugt me that some times high temps. will very a rose's color some what. THANKS for bring it to my attention. LOL
HAROLD

Harold, thanks for your rose photos ! I espeacially liked the photos of Dark Lady, L.D. Braithwaite, Teasing Georgia, Chicago Peace and Fragrant Cloud.

I guess I am used to seeing CP as the color in the photo I posted below, its interesting that it would come in other colors such as the bicolor that your photo shows Harold, I kinda like it though.

Ramblinrose, I'm still not sure if what I have is CP but I'm going to see if anyone else in my rose club grows this rose. And maybe they can help me. I just took it for granted that it was CP. I'm glad you brougth it up. The CP you posted is beauitful. THANKS AGAIN.LOL
Harold
