SUMMER FASHION

SUPERSTITION

SWEETNESS

Oops! Sorry, Beth.

Shucks, is that all you have for S's Beth? Amazing. An entire garden could be composed. Glad to see 'Sharifa', Mossy. It's new to my garden. Here's another of 'Secret'. I removed 'Pristine' as they were so similar but 'Secret' had more scent for me.

Secret

Sexy Rexy - an excellent petal packed floribunda

Sexy Rexy with his darker buds

I don't think I've ever seen so many gorgeous roses at one time, lots of beauties!

SHEILA'S PERFUME

OMG, Beth, you have a kajillion beautiful S's! Did I count 85?

Mossy, I caught your two beauties in there as well!

Iris and Sara, you snuck your pretties in there while I was posting mine!

Seil, that's a very striking photo of Soroptimist International, beautiful. So much beauty here, c'mon Spring!

SOUTH AFRICA

SNUFFY

SPELLBOUND

Strike It Rich - grandiflora

Strike It Rich - color change

SCENTIMENTAL

STAINLESS STEEL

ST. PATRICK

SEXY REXY

I may break down and buy this yellow if it has vase life. Anyone know?

Sunshine Daydream - Meilland'06 grandiflora, AARS'12

Ought to be weeding but one more. Last spring at SJ Municipal Rose Gard. Stephen's Big Purple was showing this color. Not at its prime as you can see.

Stephen's Big Purple - Stephens'85, HT

Aughh. Weeding to be done. One more.

Sunbright - Warriner'84, HT

Oh my goodness I see another rose order in my near future. Everyones roses are stunning! Judy

Spring's A Comin'

Sheesh, what a lot of gorgeous roses!!!! Wow!!!

I have zero S roses. The best I can do is a sunflower or two from my garden.

Oh I just love Sandra, Susan Elizabeth, Swirling Orange, Secret, Sheila's Perfume, Sisters at Heart, South Africa, Strike it Rich and Sunshine Daydream. So many more!

Edit: Oh! I love the sunflowers!

Lots of pretty flowers here. Thanks for the look. Also, Beth, thanks for the Something Special. I have one, but it hasn't done much for me. I may need to move it to a better spot.

BETH ~~

I see you have 'Swirling Orange'. Yea. Hope it does well for you. QUESTION --- you explained how to post multiple pics and I don't remember how or what post. Please repeat.

Making split pea soup instead of weeding! Then can look up these beauties. Kentucky's 'Snuffy' and 'Spellbound' have me lusting for coral. Working upwards Seil's mini 'Showstopper' stopped me! And both pictures of 'Sisters At Heart' are tugging the heartstrings.

Has anyone been able to copy and paste text into this comment box? TIA

Hey Mossy no biggie. I just have so many, and ya can only do 10 in each posting, so I knew someone would sneak some in there. Very pretty!!

Seil, I have waaay more than what I posted here. Some didn't bloom and others didn't have good enough pics. These are a drop in the bucket. LOL

Rosecanadian, love those sunflowers. I need to try growing some for the birdies.

Bustopher, my SOMETHING SPECIAL took a bit to do its thing. I really like it now.

Irisgal, posting pics now is soooo much easier. Just click on the photo button at the bottom and find your own photo files and upload one at a time. You can do 10 in each post. Then just do another post for more. No more uploading to photo hosting websites. I'll be closing up my Picture Trail account when it's up. What else is nice about this, is the pictures stay here. With linking them to a hosting website, whenever you delete the photos from there, they disappear from here as well. This is basically a lot like Facebook.

Phew! I was bushed, just viewing your lovely roses, Beth.
What a lot of work, just posting.
Thank you all.
Lovely blooms to view, with just snow and ice, seen from my window.

What a bevy of breathtaking beauties! Amazing. Beth, how big IS your property? :)

I so enjoy these posts. It's a balmy 6 C here today (that's about 43 F); the first day to be above freezing in over two months! It feels sooooo nice and I can begin to imagine that I might have roses again sometimes relatively soon.

Summer Love

Sun Sprinkles (mini)

SO many spectacular S's!!!

Beth, I love your Seven Seas & Shot Silk, and glad to see your Seattle Scentsation picture (I have that one on order for Spring).

Mossy, LOVE your Siren's Keep...is it a good rose for you? Fragrant? That one might have to go on my wish list!

Irisgal, That Secret picture is perfect!

Kentucky Rose, Stainless Steel is captivating & Spring's A Comin is so cute...I had never heard of that one until the "name that rose" game...lol

Seil, I think Showstopper is my favorite of yours...just beautiful!

Sara Ann, the petals on your Sheila's Perfume looked hand painted...what a great picture!

Redwolf, Your mini Sun Sprinkles is adorable!!!

RoseCanadian, Sunflowers are a favorite of mine. I'm anxiously awaiting planting my seeds for this year's crop. Gorgeous pictures of yours!

Mine will have to be in two posts...here are some:

Scentimental

Souvenir de la Malmaison

Souvenir de Pierre Notting

Scepter'd Isle

Strike it Rich

Sugar Moon

Secret's Out

Softee

Sombreuil

Sweet Pea

And just a few more...

Spice

Souvenir de St. Anne's

Sweet Surrender

Singin the Blues

Sunsprite

Soooooo many beauties -- I can't even begin to pick out my favorites. I think "S" is the most gorgeous rose letter of them all!

Here are my two humble contributions:

Sweet Diana--cute little mini. I have 7 of them scattered periodically around the garden.

And the exquisite Scepter'd Isle (Austin)---which isn't as bloomiferous yet as I wanted, but here's hoping for this season--its third.

Kate

Beauties all!!

Pat, that SOFTEE is adorable! And SINGIN' THE BLUES... Wow! I'm so glad to see a good photo of that one. I have that rose out in one of my beds that gets very little sun, and I don't think it's bloomed in 4-5yrs! (Gee... I wonder why??) But... that whole bed will get moved and dispersed into several new beds after the septic re-do. Lots more sun over there. Can't wait! (Septic re-do starts this week!! Yay!)

Pat - that was my one bloom from Siren's Keep last year, it was a new band. So I am very much looking forward to seeing what it is going to do this year. It is fragrant.

Wow, those are some amazingly beautiful roses and photos of them. I am blown away by how many I would love to grow if I had room and if I had water, neither of which is abundant right now. Here are my S's.

St. Patrick

Snowbird (Another one cane wonder I rooted to be sure I never was without it. I put the babies in the raised bed last year and have high hopes this year. The original is in a less than perfect place.)

Symphony

Summer Fashion

Sharon's Choice

Samaritan (has another name, I think)

It has a bunch of names, lol! Samaritan, King Arthur, Lawrence of Arabia, Fragrant Surprise, registration name HARverag and it's exhibition name, English Sonnet! Gorgeous pic too!

Thanks Mossy...If that was a picture of SK's first bloom, can't wait to see pictures of what's to come.

Kate, Your Sweet Diana IS super sweet!

Kathy, Sharon's Choice is really striking...I'm about to go look that one up!

Wow!!! Pat I'm loving your roses!! Awesom!!!

I really like the Summer Fashion - reminds me of daffodils.

Carol

Love seeing Souvenir de Pierre Notting! How big does this one get for you? I've got a gallon plant that needs to go in the garden soon.

Oh, Kathy--that pic of Symphony is really getting to me. I've been resisting it for several years now because I don't have any room left for more roses, but when I see a lovely pic like that one, I can hardly resist running out and buying one right on the spot.

Kate

Sally Holmes!

Hey Brittie, My SdPN was new for me last year, so not sure of it's mature size and honestly not sure it's really SdPN. I bought mine as a gallon from RU, and it ended the season at maybe 2 X 2 at the most...supposedly stays small compared to most teas (but bloomed almost non-stop). I originally ordered SdPN & Mlle. Franziska Kruger from RVR, but they weren't able to send SdPN, so I got it from RU. My SdPN & MFK are indistinguishable in bloom & bush, so not sure I have the real one...I really think I may have two MFKs.

Kate, if you can find Symphony, get it! It is an unusual Austin in that it stays a small bush, no more than 3 x3 feet for me. It is a wonderful rose.

Sunshine Daydream, one of the only two roses I ever purchased. It's an amazingly vigorous and easy rose. However Bambi loves it too. Sigh...
