You have lots of beauties Beth! My favorites are All American Magic, Buttercream, Eyes For You, Della Reese, Elle, Portrait and Shi-un. Thanks for sharing.

Had to laugh, when I saw EYES FOR YOU - this morning...so shy and demure and Google eyed in the evening.

Thank you for taking the time to show us your lovely blooms

Hi Beth. Your Black Pearl bloom looks similar to Black Lady (and just as beautiful). How do you find that the plants differ? Thanks for posting your many pretty roses.

Hi Beth -- love the color of Della Reese -- is she fragrant too? My Fragrant Plum has not done well under my reduced water regimen -- surprisingly most other roses aren't affected. Thanks for reminding me that my FP will return in spring and hopefully be like yours until summer hits!

Always a treat to see your roses!

Secret is absolutely stunning. Love that pic. Great pics Beth!!

OKSANA is a nice russet shade on my monitor. SECRET seems to be pumping out the blooms like mine is doing. I'm liking your deep reds,ie. BLACK PEARL in this post. Thanks Beth.

Thanks you guys! Hey, I feel like an idiot. I rushed to naming BLACK PEARL. That bed is kind of a mess. I discovered today, that's not BLACK PEARL. I really didn't think it was, but could've sworn it was in the spot that is BP. But I found out it's actually INK SPOTS! Sorry about that! They're right next to each other and there's a huge Hot Lips salvia flailing all over the place in there, making it hard to see where the base of the roses are!

Ann, I'll have to check DELLA for fragrance. Can't remember if she smells or not. I had to move her to the back yard because I'm rearranging pots out front and putting newer, younger ones there. Time to switch out the older ones that were there for yrs, and get them in the ground. So, she's in back awaiting her new location.... along with a couple hundred other roses! It'll be next spring til that happens tho.

I love Ink Spots and Oksana.

Oh no, now there are three dark red roses that I'm craving, BLACK LADY, BLACK PEARL, and INK SPOTS.

Now I had to look up Ink Spots and discovered I had a picture from the nursery. The rose was so dark I dragged over a can of Melody Parfumee for a combination shot.

Wow!! That IS dark!! That's a lovely combination.

The contrast was a great idea for the photo. Nicely done, Irisgal.
