LOL. That is so much fun. If you go back we want to see pics of roses at the nursery. Helen.

Am Soooo Jealous and so Very Happy for you where did you go? which nursery ?Please post same pictures....

I am very jealous because my gardening space is just used up. No more good spots for roses, sigh. I'm glad you got Julia--can't go wrong with that rose. Her biggest fan, Diane.

I'm jeaous too, because Voodoo was on my want list for this year, and everybody's out of it. Hope I get lucky like you did! You will love Julia and Double Delight!

...lucky you ! cast caution to the wind....I love it... do go back for more, right away...
..of those you list, Julia Child isn't available to us, but Rosarium Uetersen is one I wouldn't mind... I have a space left for a short climber, and I think it's going to Lavender Lassie...

..have fun....

Some great roses, Definitely want to see pictures.

Great list! I know how you're feeling. Everywhere I go I end up buying more. It has to stop!

I know the feeling! It's so hard to say no!!! Sounds like you'll be busy, lol.

Nice list, I just planted Julia Child and I might get Strike It Rich next year.

LOL! Welcome to our world! Roses are extremely addicting, aren't they? But it's a wonderful addiction! Nice choices. You'll have to post pics when they bloom!

Don't feel guilty, I splurged a little this weekend too lol. 3 roses and 2 dahlias :)

I went to No frills, one of the grocery chain's "seasonal" garden centres. I shouldn't have said "nursery" giving everyone a wrong impression. The deal was 2 bushes for $28. I just grabbed and never looked back..lol.

I am debating at the moment to get westerland but the 2 pots they have are small plants. Then I saw About Face which I am also debating to get. Hmmm.....I need to check the other nurseries before I go back.

Originally I was going to get 2 Julia Childs (after seeing Diane's beautiful photos) and 2 Strike it Rich. But then I realized I need to sacrifice other possible choices. I am hoping to check out other places before I make any final choices...

I've always wanted Voodoo too since I seen her in a gardening book. The only thing is that she is supposed to be for warmer zones. I think I really need to protect this rose in the winter.

Sounds glorious. Can't wait to see pics in the summer.

jj, good for you! Think of it as your reward for getting thru the Canadian winter. Enjoy!

Thanks guys. I will definitely take some pics this coming summer. I splurge again and bought 6 more...lol. They are Chicago Peace, Hot Cocoa, Rosarium Uetersen, Westerland, About Face and Scentimental. I brought them all home happy and I am worried now because I may not have enough space..lol.

All those great roses! lol - space that's also my big dilemma! Am planning a new 30m bed along our back border just don't know how wide I should make it? Haven't told my husband yet, lol

Nanadoll - thanks for the reminder to check hmf for synonymous of roses that I'm interested in - I tooo liked the look of Julia Child and regretted it's seeming lack of availability. Absolutely Fabulous is however, available pretty much everywhere!
