These pictures don't remind me of slowing down. These flowers look great!

Those Red Intuitions are AMAZING!!!!!! They remind me of colorful tropical fish.

April Hamer is another I really like!!

What do you think of Walking on Sunshine???

Tabris looks like a work of art - blown glass or something!

Lovely lovelies!!

Nice pics of Red Intuition--one of my favorite bloomers. Walking on Sunshine and Gilbert Becaud are lovely also--but I'm especially partial to pinks with yellow at the base.

Beth, you are right about things slowing down but you are still spoiling us with quite a number of fantastic blooms! I agree with Carol - that Tabris really looks like a work of art, just perfect! And Walking on Sunshine looks so fresh, both bloom and foliage!

Well, when you have 1700 or more roses, and you only get about 30 or so photos per day, that's slowing waaay down.

Carol, WALKING ON SUNSHINE is a wonderful rose. Almost never out of bloom (except if ya don't get to deadheading often enough). Lots of blooms and clusters that last a long time. No disease at all. I dunno if it has any scent or not. Never remember to check. But it's a really good rose. Stays kinda short...about 30" high and 30" wide.

TABRIS is an interesting one. And I actually have two now. When we had the septic system re-do, and I had to dig up all those roses, I thought I had lost my original one...so I ordered another one from Hortico. Then I found out I had the original one mismarked. Oh well. It's a good rose too.

1700 hundred roses! Wow! The blooms you have look great! I hope you get some good rain out your way soon!

If Walking on Sunshine stays that short in zone 9, it wouldn't get very big here. Darn.

Yes, 1700 (!!) roses and only 30 photos is slowing down big time. But we're glad you got these photos!!!

Beth, they are just gorgeous!

Red Intuition makes me nuts. Getting closer to a gotta-have-it every time. I admit I am a fool for stripes, but RI seems like nirvana.
