Favorite Pink or Pink Blend good as cut roses

Call me crazy but I want to have a section of pink roses good for cutting. Nice fragrance will be a plus but as a good cut rose most important. I'm interested in anything from a white with pink edges to dark pinks.

If you could only have two pinks for cutting which would they be?

    There are so many good pinks, that's not an easy choice for me! I have several fragrant pinks and they are all good for cutting!

    Tiffany

    Pink Peace

    Big Momma

    Miss All American Beauty

    Belinda's Dream

    The McCartney Rose (unfortunately it died)

    Francis Meilland

    Bewitched

    Beverly

    Memorial Day

    Perfume Delight

    Right now, of the ones I have I would choose Memorial Day and Tiffany.

    Memorial Day

    Tiffany

    Any of the above would be good choices. Just thinking about all the ones I don't have, there are so many good ones out there!

    A few more that I use are Fredric Mistral, Princesse de Monaco and Chaucer.

    I would vote for Memorial Day and Frederic Mistral. Both will produce large amounts of cut blooms on long stems with few thorns and both smell divine!

    Tiffany.

    For a white with pink edges, Cajun Moon.

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. I was pleased to find I already have six of them and some of the others are on my short list. You just reaffirmed my research is right on. Now I just have to decide if I want to get them OR or grafted.

    I don't have Kordes Perfecta, but I do have Rina Hugo, it lasts good in the vase, very good for cutting.

    Louise Estes, Memorial Day.

    I second Gemini, slightly easier to grow than Kordes Perfekta. Secret and New Zealand are also good. All four have somewhat similar coloring.

    Rina Hugo is a stunning neon deep pink with exhibition form.

    I planted Beverly last year, I'm not sure yet how much I'm going to like the blooms, but I do think they will be very attractive, I'm anxious to see what it does this year. It is one healthy rose bush and I believe it is going to be prolific, and it is very fragrant! Mine is on multiflora.

    Beverly is the light pink one in the middle.

    Beverly has low thorn count as well so easy to handle as a cut rose.

    Another one with little thorns is Nahema, but this is a climber:

    Fragrance, I did forget about the low thorn count, another plus! Do you have a picture of Beverly to show? Nahema is gorgeous too!

    i have beverly too as a young untried rose. i'll have to see further what it does. i have a beverly picture for you.

    i agree about The McCartney Rose.

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions and pictures. I think I'm definitely going forward with this now. You've given me so many to choose from. It might take me a couple of years but I'll get there. In a few years it should be really nice.

    Souvenir de la Malmaison, Pink Rosette, Bishop's Castle, Belinda's Dream, The Faun, Pink Gruss an Aachen, Aloha. SdlM and Bishop's Castle are probably my favorites. Roses last well for me inside only in cooler weather. Despite air conditioning, they seem to know when it's hot outside and droop.

    I have and love Beverly. I swoon over Quietness, but don't have her yet.

    Thank you, fragrance and Carol. Both of your Beverly's look great. I do love the deeper pink, mine was paler than both of yours. Anxious to see it this year.
