You have some nice pictures there. I was curious about what Monkey Business looked like. Thank you much for posting. At least you still have some to look at.

December roses! Awesome! They all look great and your photos are nice and sharp!

OMG! They're all gorgeous!! I love that FOR YOU WITH LOVE! Shoulda ordered it! And it's nice to see a good pic of HELEN'S TRUST. I have it, but it hasn't bloomed much. Now I see what I'm missing. (I think the deer liked it this past season...)

snowheather, your roses are just gorgeous and that in the beginning of December, wow!

Since I love lavender colored roses my favorite is 'Lavender Joy'. I have never heard of this rose before. Can you tell me please how it is doing for you (repeat, disease resistance, vigor ect.)? I am always up to try a good new lavender rose :-).

Myriam/Amazing Grace is also particular appealing in my eyes.

Very beautiful photography, too. I am looking forward to seeing more photos from you!

Thanks for posting!

Oh, Scented Memory and Myriam are both exquisite. What beautiful roses, and great photography. Thank you for sharing them with us. How does Myriam smell?

Lovely photos of beautiful blooms.
Thanks for brightening my day.

Thanks for looking everybody! Beth, I almost gave up on HELEN'S TRUST, but since I have a granddaughter named Helen, I just couldn't. So I moved it to a better spot just a few weeks ago. It has been blooming like mad since!

LAVENDER JOY is from Cliff Orent. The first bloom was spectacular and then I didn't see another one until fall. This is the end of the second year and it has started blooming much more. Patience is golden! Oh, I spray so cannot say for sure about disease resistance. All I know is that it has not had any breakthrough blackspot.

SCENTED MEMORY and MYRIAM are stars of my Scented Bed! But, patience paid with both. Scented Memory was a scrawny own root from Hortico and Myriam a tiny band from Heirloom.

I'm still taking pictures, because next week may bring the end of the fall bloom!

They are all so beautiful. A wonderful sight on this December day. I love Scented Memory and Lavender Joy, especially. I have Flawless ordered for spring. I'm happy to see that it's gorgeous! How strongly scented is it for you?
Thank you for posting such beautiful photos.

Helen's Trust is new to me and I love it!

Beautiful roses---Thanks for sharing--

Sandra, I sniffed FLAWLESS this evening and it does have a moderate fruity scent. It is a big mini-flora - maybe should be a floribunda.

And, about SCENTED MEMORY, I said I got it as an own root, but I meant bare root!

Its great to hear from you all and thanks for the compliments on the photos!

WOW, That is some gorgeous roses.Sure can not pick a favorite out of them,since they are all just beautiful,and your photography is excellant, too.Thanks for the show.

There aren't any I wouldn't welcome into my garden if I had room, but Helen's Trust has really outstanding color and form in your picture. I have Monkey Business new this year and the blooms really didn't do much (although there was a steady supply of them) until late this fall when they picked up petals and a little staying power. You've got a good picture of it. Year two should tell me whether it's a keeper in hot climates. I hope you have more pictures coming....Maryl

Wow!! Those are gorgeous!!

I especially love Lavender Joy, Amazing Grace, Broceliande, and Johnny Becnel.

Does Broceliande have any scent?

Thanks for the beauty!

snowheather, thanks for the info on Lavender Joy and Amazing Grace. It might be interesting how LJ will be doing for you in the second year.

Yes, Carol, BROCELIANDE has a lovely scent!
