I'll buy that rationale. Works for me--especially Garden Party, one of my favorites over the years. And everyone likes Blue Girl.

Beautiful. Queen Elizabeth is so regal isn't she. One of my most productive roses.

Gorgeous, Seil! I love the swirl on Blue Girl. Great pic.

Seil, they're gorgeous, just like all your pictures. I love Garden Party. I planted a Queen Elizabeth this year, I've really missed it.

Oh how beautiful! I love your cheater blooms! I have a couple cheaters on the way so I feel your excitement! Your Sonia is so pretty, I was just checking on mine today and it looks like it survived our crazy winter! Your QE has perfect form, awesome!

So funny Seil. I think the same thing every time I ooh and ahhh over my cheater blooms. We did dig the hole and care for them babies so by the time the next flush comes I take full credit. Love your cheater blooms! Blue Girl is scrumptious as is QE. Love them. Judy

Thank you all! I knew you'd understand. After that long frigid winter I'll take any blooms I can get!

Seil, I don't even have any cheater blooms yet! Just Joey is an eye catcher! I love Blue Girl.

Cheater? lol. You bought them...they're yours. Queen Elizabeth looks great.

Thanks!

Blue Girl is my all time favorite rose. Yours is just gorgeous. I think I need to find a Queen Elizabeth!

You have some nice flowers there. The Queen Elizabeth looks especially nice.

Great looking roses Seil...

Thank you! We got into the 80s today and all of these are blown now. I have some buds coming on Black Baccara that should open in a day or so. After that I'll have to wait until my older plants bloom in June.

I received some RU roses that had blooms today... 80's here also...

I love it when they come with blooms, lol!
