    I would say it was perfect!

    Thanks Judy, I edited the original post, I decided to add some more and ask others to show theirs too. With your gorgeous roses I imagine you have plenty!

  • 10 years ago

    Oh my!!! Those really are perfect!! This thread should be awesome. What a great idea! Yours are all incredible, but I think Sunsprite has that extra special something. Wow!!

    I'll see if I have any I think are near perfect.

    Sheesh what a lot of terrible pictures I have. LOL I'll look again tomorrow.

    Sara-ann, thanks for starting this thread and everyone who's posting their beauties.

    April - my question is about Angel. I couldn't find it on HMF. Do you know the hybridizer and/or year? TIA

  • 10 years ago

    Carol... Zaide is absolutely gorgeous! That was just a nifty shot of her I thought but here's a diff view for you.. You're gonna love her I think :)

  • 10 years ago

    Irisgal, Judy picked up Angel for me this year at Home Depot. All I remember was that it was one of the thornless rose collection ones. I LOVE her. Great bloomer for me already.

  • 10 years ago

    April - ooooh!!! I can't wait!!! That's beautiful!!! What do you think of the fragrance? Do you know how to say the name? Is it Zaydee? Zah-ide??? :)

    Carol

  • 10 years ago

    I don't think it's very fragrant. But i'm not a fragrance nut. Lol. Judy said the Kordes lady told her it's pronounced Sadie. Totally nothing like it looks huh?

  • 10 years ago

    Thanks April. I'll keep my eye open at Home Depot.

    Those are beautiful, Countrygirl! Especially love Blueberry Hill, I love water droplets too. They all look great. I agree, Paradise is photogenic. I have certainly enjoyed the lovely pictures, hope we get more too. Thanks again everyone.

    That's the prettiest picture I've every seen of a Blueberry Hill flower! It looks porcelain. What a lovely effect.

    I love the look of Out of the Blue!! Such an interesting shape. Beautiful!

    Thanks! I don't think I ever got another picture of a Blueberry Hill bud, at least not like that one. I take many photos in an unusual direction instead of "face" on and get some good or great ones sometimes.
