    Lovely roses and photography Helen! Especially love Marriotta which I'd never seen before and discovered from HMF is a miniature. I've been looking for a rose with triangular-shaped petals so I'll put it on my list. Thanks for sharing!

    Wow, love love your Paradise, Jubilee Celebration, Valencia, and Double Delight photos. They are perfect. I agree with Sara. What a great show of roses.

    A very nice group indeed. I don't know if I've ever seen Strawberry Hill before but yours made me want to go out and buy one immediately.

    Where did you buy A Night of Magic? I think it'll have to be added to my list of wishes.

    Oh my goodness. These pictures just pop like they're 3D. Love them. They all look so lush and healthy. Theres so many I love. Thanks for sharing your beautiful roses. Truly enjoyed them. Judy

    I tried to take photographs of my friend's Purple Tiger rose and found that the true color was hard to capture with my camera. I think you did it! You grow several roses that I do and I'm looking forward to seeing them bloom like yours.

    Jubilee Celebration is looking awfully good to me. Nice job on all this photos!

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. I'm glad you like the pics.

    Sara: yes, we have similar roses :) I'm admiring your English Perfume and Love Song but I'm out of room.

    Sharlene: I'm glad you like them. I love your garden. Please post more pics of your garden.

    Ann: I felt the same as you when I first saw Marriotta posted here and I'm glad I have it now. It's a wonderful rose. In my powdery mildew garden, it doesn't have any mildew at all.

    Ingrid: I like to plant roses as cut flowers so Strawevery Hill fits the bill perfectly (4.75" bloom, very strong myrrh and honey fragrance and good as cut flower). The only down side is it's not heat/cold tolerance.

    Kublakan: I bought A Night of Magic from Almaden Valley nursery in San Jose (the Bay Area)

    Judy: LOL, I'm just good at not taking the pics of the powdery mildew leaves. Thanks Judy.

    Jasmine: I was hesitate to buy Purple Tiger because many people said it's a weak plant that has problems with rust and powdery mildew. Luckly for me the plant that I saw at Regan was very healthy and vigorous so it has a good start in fighting diseases. I haven't seen powdery mildew on it but I have seen rust on some of the bottom leaves and I removed those right away. For its beautiful look, I don't mind giving it the best spot in the garden and baby it.

    Iris: Jubilee is one of my strongest David Austin roses this season, it's very healthy and blooms continuously. Love it.

    Absolutely stunning!! I love that you take the time to tell the names of each one in the pictures. Enjoyed seeing them all.

    Awesome roses!!! I fell in love with your Purple Tiger. What a gorgeous rose. Such variety from one bloom to another. Your Valenica is perfection. I just love that rose - one of my very favorite roses. Yours has the same robust look to it. Great pictures!! Bewitched is another rose of yours that is perfection. What do you think of Bewitched? Is there any fragrance?

    Thanks for the look at your stunning roses. Well done!

    Thank you April and Carol. I think your Valencia inspired me to buy this one and it's a bit mildew sensitive but vigorous and has many blooms. It is in a pot right now so I just need to find a good place with plenty of morning sun for it to be at its best. Bewitched blooms are beautiful every time and it has nice fragrance.

    Oh, I'm glad you got Valencia, Bayarea_girl!!! It does have quite a lot of long lasting blooms!!

    I might have to get Bewitched. Hmmmm....
