    Scrumptous. Are these with your new camera?

    What a fun bloom on Golden Charm. Myrthe looks to be a lovely shade of rose-red.

    Those are so cheerful, thanks for sharing, Beth! I especially love Biscobel.

    Thanks you guys! Yeah Irisgal, that's with the new camera. It takes sharper pics, but they're overly-vivid colorwise. I have to tone it down. And they're still really bright!

    Great Beth, the pics are indeed very sharp and vibrant. Looks like you are right - the lens does make a difference.

    The focus is great. Tonight I'm viewing under spiral fluorescent lighting and the color does look different from during daylight. MYRTHE looks more fuchsia pink rather than rose. They look good. Not oversaturated at all.

    Beautiful as always Beth! Every time I see a panarosa rose, I wish I had a bigger garden. On the other hand, even if I had a bigger garden, I would fill it so fast with roses that I would wish for even a bigger garden, lol. Helen

    Thanks again guys! Hey Irisgal, MYRTHE is one of those colors that is very hard to photograph accurately, even with the better camera. It is actually a deep burgundy not rose or fuchsia. At least when it's grown in South America or other places where they grow florist roses. So far, mine is trying to put on that color, but I may have to play with settings to try and get it more accurate in the photos. Here's a pic from the Spek website: MYRTHE I did find some stems at Safeway in the winter and tried to root some, to no avail. The color wasn't quite as dark as the pics on the Spek website, but was darker than this photo of mine.

    Wow Sharlene that's so cool!! You're gonna have fun with that new rose bed!!

    Yeh, I'm tickled pink!!

    Going to be a while till I can get my babies in though - it's virgin meadow, never been cultivated! Hope there aren't too many stones:((

    Until then, my babies will stay in their pots in the 'nursery';))

    Towandaaz, with the amount of roses that Beth has, I think not only her thumbs are green, all her fingers and toes are also green, too, lol. Helen
