I lovethe Dusty rose and SUMMER SONG. 18 roses in bloom doesn't look like "not much"
Lovely blooms. Thank you, for taking the time, to add to our pleasure.

Beth, if I was asked to choose a favourite out of all those beauties, I would have to say SUPERSTITION! Colour is amazing!!!

Not much? Are you kidding??? Those are beautiful! My favorite is the Bascobel. I grow that one as well, and it never stops blooming.

Thanks you guys! Well.. it might seem like "not much" but when you have as many roses as I do, it's really not much! I just have no time to get all the deadheading done lately. You should see all the crispy "dead heads!" LOL

I am curious. I see alot of pots. Do you grow alot of roses in containers, or are most of yours in the ground? I am running out of ground room, but I still want more roses. What size do you use for your HTs?

You may not have that many blooming, but they're real beauties! Love them!

Love them, especially SUMMER SONG, SUPERSTITION & BOSCOBEL.

Love them. Really beautiful!

Dizzylizzy, most of them are in the ground, but I do have quite a lot in containers. The larger plants are in 16" plastic pots or bigger. Some are in 5gal nursery pots. Some are in large decorative ceramic pots. Others, like the bands and newly rooted roses go into gallon or slightly larger pots until they're big enough to go in the ground or a bigger container. Some areas of the yard have "permanent" potted roses, and other areas are temporary. I'm hoping by next yr to get many more in the ground, now that the septic system job is all done. We had 4 trees cut down for it, and now I have a huge area of the backyard open with more sunlight. It's gonna be a long process getting them all worked out.

Sounds like a big job, but well worth it. Thanks so much for the info! I love looking at your pictures!

Superstition is in her fancy petticoat again. Anyone remember Rhett Butler giving Mamie a red petticoat?
I think this is the first time I've seen Touch of Venus. Pretty. Nice blush.

I remember people elsewhere complaining about Summer Song and you were a minority of one. Have you drawn any conclusions as to how Summer Song compares to Boscabel?
