Lots of beauties as usual, Beth. I'm always impressed with Della Reese, lovely rose. I love your Diamond Anniverary, Mustbnuts!

Here are my three D roses

Dublin Bay

Double Delight

Dick Clark

Always loved DAINTY BESS, for her "lashes". DARING SPIRIT is new for me, but love it. Never cared for yellow colour, but DEVOTION is pure gold.

Thank you.

Beautiful pics everyone. It' difficult to choose which ones I like the best. They are all so gorgeous.

Here's one I just took this morning. Yes, it is still raining.

Some really, really beautiful D roses!!! Love that mini mustbnuts...my dad passed away a few years shy of my parents diamond anniversary, but I did drive my mom down to Biloxi over Thanksgiving this year for my Aunt & Uncle's surprise 60th anniversary party. Sara Ann, your Dublin Bay is spectacular. What a great picture of Double Delight, mbz10b...I love that it is barely blushed. And I'm with Inga on Beth's Dainty Bess & Devotion...my two favorites from those she posted. Great coloring on Devotion, and Dainty Bess is just so sweet.

I only have a few:

Dark Desire

Deja Blu (miniflora)

Double Delight

Diamond Eyes (mini)

Doris Day

Dolly Parton

Too many beauties here to pick out, but thank you, Sara, for your beautiful Dublin Bay. I do not have a good picture of mine--which never fully recovered from winter damage the past two (frigid) winters. Here is an older pic of it, however.

I'll add to all the Double Delights--since I don't have many "D"s to contribute. Besides, DD is undoubtedly a beauty.

I'll be the first to do it--here's Double Knock Out (and lovely friends).

Kate

Kate, Always love getting a glimpse of your iris & peonies...and of course, your beautiful roses :)

Don Juan

I think this is it for me and the D's. This rose is one I no longer own, but will likely re-purchase when I get around to landscaping the area it could go into.

So many lovely roses!!

Pat, your Dark Desire is gorgeous. I have contemplated ordering this rose but only see it available on Multiflora which would likely be very iffy here.

Della Reese is a very pretty rose that just looks as if it would be fragrant, Beth.

Lynn

Lynn, My Dark Desire is own root. Bought it from Chamblee's last year. Roses Unlimited carried it own root last year, too. Haven't checked, but one of them may still be offering it. It was slow getting started, but really started growing late in the season. Blooms smell GREAT and are such a luscious color.

Mbz, lovely and unique picture of Double Delight, and love your Distant Drums. Pat, your Dark Desire is gorgeous and your Dolly Parton looks wonderful. Always love your bush shots, your roses are such good bloomers! Lovely as usual, Kate. Your Double Delight is so pretty! Love your Don Juan, Lynn.

I'm glad to see photos of Dark Desire, I have one ordered for spring. Beth, every year I'm attracted to your photos of Della Reese - you have so many I'm not familiar with, they keep me busy on HMF. My "D" is Duchess de Rohan

Great looking rose blooms everyone! I've enjoyed them alot! :-)

Such beautiful offerings, everbody! I always enjoy the shots of Double Delight - for some reason I don't have that one yet! Kate, I love love love seeing your garden vignettes. Iris and peonies rank right up there among my favourite flowers - can't think of better neighbours for roses!! How long do they all bloom together like that? Mossy, I haven't seen Duchess De Rohan before. It's a gorgeous clear pink! Good bloomer?

Here are mine:

Dark Desire - on multiflora, new this year from Palatine

Diamond Eyes

Your Dark Desire is gorgeous, Redwolf.

As to iris, peonies, and roses blooming together, it doesn't last as long as I'd wish, but if you plan carefully and plant early, mid-, and late iris for the iris season, and the same for peony season--early, mid, and late peonies--you can have them all blooming together for nearly a month (different iris and peonies blooming at different times during that month). The roses continue throughout that entire time.

If you are talking about just one particular variety of iris or peony, then they bloom only about 2 weeks, alas!

Kate

Dark Desire is stunning.

Beth - which Dream is yours? Lovely! TIA

Beauiful D roses everybody.

Beth, your Delilah is beautiful. I am also liking some of the others including the Dark Desire pictures. Thanks for the look at all of them.

Irisgal, that's a good question. I'm not sure which DREAM it is now that you asked. I got it from Hortico many yrs ago, and it hasn't really bloomed all that well over the yrs. I believe it was sold as the Kordes version, but it doesn't look like it, now that I look back at the pics I have of it. Knowing Hortico, they had a lot of roses that were of the correct name, but not the correct version. So, I'm going to guess this one must be the RVS one from 1979. It looks more like that one. I never really checked on that because I assumed it was the Kordes one all these yrs. But it's obvious it isn't. Mine is more of a light pink fading to white. The other DREAM roses say they have some salmon or orange in them. Soooo.. Hey thanks for asking about that because now I see I need to change the listing on HMF.

Just tried to sign on and forgot my password. My son gave me a new computer for Xmas tonight, and I have to re-sign-in on all my websites. Every time I have to do this with HMF, they never send me the email to fix my password. I always have to email them a different way. And being it's Xmas... I bet no one will respond til Sat or even Mon. Oh well, guess it can wait.....

So many beautiful D's! Karen, Pat - glad you both posted Diamond Eyes. Looking forward to mine next season (planted bare root in Nov) along with a couple of other D's

This year I only have Deborah

and Double Delight

Hi Beth, yes I thought your Dream looked most like the RVS one. But prettier.

And I always love Dolores Hope. Sutekesh, your pictures are such a cheerful pink on this dreary cold day.

Love that Delilah! And Pat's Dark Desire too!

Seil, great 'D's'! Dick Clark is stunning! Will be one of my D's next year

Every time I see a pic of your Dream Come True, Seil, I wonder why I never got one. Absolutely breath-taking! Alas--I have no room left now.

Kate

My two Ds are Delore ( a sport of Folklore)

Oops, here's Devoniensis

Wow love DELORE!

And Seil, love that DREAM COME TRUE! And DAINTY BESS!
