You just cost me more money, again! I am now on a quest for Leann Rimes. I find I am so drawn to the soft colors I just can't get enough. I'm not telling my husband you've done it again since he said I couldn't look at your pictures any more. Of course he said that with a smile on his face knowing full well I'll just get whatever I want.

Very nice, Beth. Love your climbers!

Everytime you post stranger I swoon!

STRANGER is one of my favorites too!

Hey Beth, your husband sounds a lot like mine. He gave up on me yrs ago. He can't complain too much, because his obsession is cars. And those are a lot more expensive than roses, and we can't afford any more!!! We can't even fix up the ones he has. Hmmm... looks like LEANN RIMES isn't available anywhere right now. Edmunds lists her, but they're sold out. And Hortico used to carry the rose under it's original name PERCEPTION, but I see they don't have it anymore.

Stranger is really spectacular - would snap it up, or anything similar, if I saw it!

I am hoping that my Edgar Degas looks more like yours this year and shows some yellow!!! Even a little stripe would be enough!!!

Yep, searched everywhere for LEANN RIMES and no-one has it. I'll just have to keep looking at yours!

Lovely roses!!! I especially like your New Imagine.

Lots of pretties!

I'm loving Leann Rimes also. Have seen several pics of her recently and she is really growing on me. Such soft subtle shades.

Here are some of my favorites above: Canadian Sunset, City of Welland, Edgar Degas, Legends, Souvenir du Pierre Guillot, and Stephens Big Purple.

What a beautiful collection!

Gorgeous blooms! Lots of nice varieties...

Nice fat barrel shape on the bud of 'Angel Bells'. You have some great 'City of Welland' photos at HMF. Need it! Love yellow blending into pink. And when it's behaving like a reverse. Holy mackeral.
Not fair. Your Compassion is 10 times prettier than mine. Super photo. 'Dolores Hope' is looking good. My goodness. She is another by Carruth. 'Dream' looks like the RVS 1979 one? We need more picture of this one doing its frilly thing. Fabergé looks like 2 different roses at HMF. Hmm. I like yours. Love 'Favorite Dream'. Just a great looking non-quilling pink. Oops, 'Radio Times' trumps it. Spoke too soon. Gorgeous. As is 'Souvenir de Pierre Guillot', a pernetiana HT. I thought pernetianas were house eaters? The color is glorious. Talk about colors? 'Stephens' Big Purple' is a drop deader. I think this one needs to be on the short list. With 'The Endeavour'! Supposed to be near thornless. Love those colors. I keep forgetting 'Troika' aka 'Royal Dane', another beaut by Poulson. Looks quite perky in this pic. 'Truly Yours' has good form plus it's a Carruth so proably very disease resistant? Carruth again! 'Watercolors Home Run'. Darling duo. Ooo, 'White Majesty' has that gorgeous glow with the pink (?) blush.
Thank you for providing me with a 2 hours journey into a haven of beauty.

From your photo, SERENDIPITY would be a must-have rose. I love the color and shape. However, other photos on HMF don't come close to matching what you've got, so I'll just admire your pic.

Nice collection of roses Beth! :)

Beth, what do you think of City of Welland for bloom ability and fragrance?

Carol

Carol, CITY OF WELLAND is a pretty rose... when it blooms. Not a great repeater and the blooms blow pretty fast. I don't recollect any scent on it. But I need to start keeping track of the roses' scents. Keep in mind I live in a much hotter area than yours, and I haven't been able to keep up with all the fertilizing and weeding of my rose beds. The bed this rose is in is overgrown with underplantings and grassy weeds, so not many of the roses in that bed are doing very well right now. It could very well perform a lot better for you.

Beth - thanks for the info. I think I'll pass then, cause I want to buy proven winners from now on. :)
