ORANGE JUICE

Lovely O roses Beth! Your collection of roses always amazes me. I love the softer color ones but all f them are lovely. You're more than half way thru the alphabet! :))

Osiria

No Os for me. I'll just have to sit back and enjoy!

So happy to see Orange Ruffles! It's on my wish list! I have Osiria, Osiana and Orchid Masterpiece, all pictured already. I also have Old Gay Hill Red China, but I haven't gotten a good picture of it yet. So..here's another of Orchid Masterpiece and Osiria.

Hey, does anyone else do this every year thinking that they really need to have more alphabet roses? Like, I could use a few more O's, I could use another F or two, and I really need to work on obtaining more I's? LOL

I"m glad to see there is no shortage of "O" blooms. All of them lovely.

Love the pictures of Osiria, I've admired that rose from a distance. Beth, nice picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I never did get a good picture of that one last year, maybe this year.

I have one O rose to show, it seems to be a good one, blooms a lot and has a great fragrance, very disease resistant.

ORCHID ROMANCE

Glad to see Our Lady of Guadalupe above. I also grow it--good bloomer and good bs resistance--but my pics of it are on photobucket, so I can't post one here. You'll have to imagine one here. : )

Here's a beauty I do have in my own computer files: Oklahoma (HT). I just love some of the dark tones it can get.

I see lots of good reds above. Didn't realize there were so many in the "O" category. The "Nummy" one is a sweetheart also.

Out of Rosenheim

Never heard of that one before, Mossy. It looks lovely! Is it fragrant?

Hi Redwolfdoc - OOR is a Kordes rose from 2010. It is vigorous, a strong bloomer and very healthy for me, but the blooms are fairly small so far (I've had it for two summers now), and no fragrance. I consider it a "landscape" rose.

Thank you! It's really very pretty - I love that whole-bush shot - the red looks perfect against the blue spruce in the background. Is that a rhodo sneaking in at the bottom of the frame?

Yes, that's a PJM rhody, with just more roses and a variegated willow in the background, the shadows are heavy enough to make it confusing. This is a good chance to tell you how much I have enjoyed seeing your photos, you have some great roses.

"O" my! Gorgeous Os here Osiria is a beauty and I don't know why I haven't gotten her yet? I love red roses with white reverses!

Yes, Brittie, I do try to fill in my alphabet when I look for roses. I lost all my Ns to last winter (who knows what I'll lose this winter) so I have ordered Neil Diamond and Nancy Jean for this spring!

Only one O for me, Oklahoma!

OK, so now I see why I don't have Osiria, it's not available! Where did you guys get it?

There are some amazingly gorgeous roses shown here. I love them all! Pat, I was wondering if your Over The Moon is one bush, or two together? Such a beautiful rose!

Thank you, Mossy!

OMG! I'm so glad I have OUT OF ROSENHEIM coming soon!! Gonna love that one! Thanks Mossy for showing such yummy pics!!

My pleasure, Beth. Heaven knows I have been inspired by your photos numerous times over the years, here and at HelpMeFind.

Seil, I had Nancy Jean and sp'd her because of BS. The blooms were perfect, though and it wins big at rose shows! Good luck.

Beth, you have so many O roses. How can that be? I love your photos. Sure you don't want to open a rose nursery?

The other O's are great too. I think I need more than 3 O's.

Would that I could Kathy! LOL Hey you had to show two of my roses that died. Crap. I miss my CORAL SEA aka ORANGE PASSION. And was surprised to find OUTRAGEOUS dead last yr. I think one of the dogs finished it off. That one I could replace if I really wanted to. But not CORAL SEA. I use that name because that was the name of the last ship my husband was on when he got out of the Navy in 1989. Oh well... so many roses, so little time....

Wow Kathy, your OLOG is amazing, hope mine blooms that good someday. Your roses always look healthy and beautiful.

I'm just loving this.

OLOG, Out of the Blue and Over the Moon are stupendous!!!

I have Old Fragrance. It really is a wonderful plant (lst year) with great scent. Highly recommended.

Here's Oklahoma. As you can see - not the best of plants for me.

Carol

Finally made it! Perseverance. Wow. Lots of gorgeous O's.

Oh My! - Bédard'11, florib., an eyecatching pretty red.

Carol - could you tell me where you got Old Fragrance - if it's the rose also named Duftrausch I have been trying to get it for years. TIA, and thanks for the photos!

Not sure - but I only order from these places

- Greenland garden centre - doubt it was this one.

- Pallantine roses

- Pickering roses

- Hortico

Hope you find it!

Carol

I've kept track of what Palantine carries, have an order coming again this spring - and I thought I read that Pickering was not taking orders this season, and Hortico is, well, Hortico, so it doesn't look good at present. Maybe someone will offer it next year. Thank you, Carol.

Hey Mossy, I seem to remember seeing it on Hortico's website last yr. There are quite a lot of roses that they used to have that they didn't offer this season. Nobody else in the US or Canada seem to have it this time around. Like you said, maybe someone will have it next yr. There are some nice pics of it on HMF. Looks like it gets massive blooms!

Thanks Beth -- I just checked Hortico again, and it's not listed. I read somewhere that Heirloom carries it, but again, it's not listed. I will keep an eye out, I remember a post from several years ago (I saved it, but it has disappeared), which highly praised and recommended it, and I have wanted to try it ever since.

Yes, if not this year, maybe next year when Pickering is back up.

Carol

You may want to call or e-mail these vendors, because sometimes the roses are available but not listed due to low numbers. Good luck.

I may do that, thank you everyone!
