Love the "Lashes." :>)

I love that fra dugmar ! It looks like a Cosmo at first glance !

Heres some of mine . Though it's so hot some of the blooms look ratty but I love them all the same !

Darlows enigma :

Above is secret garden musk . Wonderful fragrance !

Ballerina :

Nur mahal I believe . Mmm I just love that one ! It's in a bad spot though . I need to pamper it .

This is Renae and amazing climber. This rose has not stopped blooming since it began this spring . It did get a batch of fried crisp blooms but they fell off and it's started all over again. I love love this rose !

Gorgeous roses, Kate and Lilyfinch.

I also though of Darlow's Enigma's cheery faces right away:

How about cute little Baby Blanket? -

And Ebb Tide - hard (for me, that is, especially with just my phone) to photograph but a great color contrast in real life:

This golden-yellow fellow is Jude the Obscure:

Prairie Star - the stamens aren't yellow but pleasing in color and shape I think -

Thanks for suggesting this fun thread, Kate!

Sandra

I don't have too many that show alot of stamen.

Fragrant Lavender Simplicity

Pillow Fight has bright cheerful stamen.

Peach drift showing off.

Angel face has lovely golden stamen.

Surprisingly Stainless Steel reveals bright yellow stamen after it fully opens. A lovely contrast.

Here she is being shy about them.

Lovely, lovely......

I love Rhapsody in Blue.

We really do have a goodly number of rose that flaunt their stamens--and most beautifully, right? Rhapsody in Blue with golden "lashes" (as Ingrida so aptly puts it); Peach Drift and PIllow Fight--wow, those stamens are terrific; I didn't know Jude the Obscure was that golden, but gold (stamens) on golden (petals) is a classy combination; and Darlow's Enigma--maybe the most alluring set of lashes!

This is great. Anyone else have some roses that flaunt their stamens?

Kate : )

I hope someone with Dainty Bess can post a photo. This rose single has showy burgundy stamens.

I have a couple of roses that flaunt their stamens.

One of my favourite is Lykkefund - I love the way the yellow is on both the stamens and the bottom of the petals.

One of my own creations which I kept specifically because of the stamens is this one.

First year first bloom 2015

Second year first bloom 2016 (increase number of petals)

A couple of more that I found and liked -

Zephirine Drouhin:

And Aloha:

Wowee--some really cool roses flaunting their stamens! Anyone else have anything to add?

Kate

My "vote" # 1 is Dainty Bess.

I really like Lykkefund with golden stamens on yellow background.

Dainty Bess and Rainbow Sorbet are both, in their own ways, wonderful.

Aloha and Miracle on Hudson are really nice also.

Kate

Swoon--that's gorgeous, thorngrower!

Kate

Great photo thorngrower. It looks like I can reach out and touch the rose.

Let's see what I can find. Hannah Gordon looks pretty good

Another Hannah Gordon.

Scepter'd Isle

A better shot of Scepter'd Isle

Dark Night makes a beautiful open bloom.

Rosa Rugosa always looks happy.

Rosa Rugosa Alba looking Happy.

Distant Drums always looks good.

I'm relatively new to growing roses, so still expanding my small collection quietly (hopefully without husband noticing). Here are a few of mine:

rhapsody in blues

The prince

Dainty bess

Earthsong:

Dainty Bess is always my favorite in this category and I think it's because the stamens are dark pink which set off her light pink petals so beautifully - such a feminine rose if there is such a thing!

But as I was sitting at work today, I realized a member of the bouquet on my desk was a candidate for this thread and has not been mentioned yet I think: Alain Blanchard. I love the stippling on petals of this rose; the golden stamens are just a bonus. (Please forgive the almost in focus shot - my cell phone is a pretty smart dumb phone but its camera is not the best.)

I've always liked pictures I've seen of Alain Blanchard. Yours is fabulous!!! I love it!!

Here's Night Owl with a bumblebee thrown in for good measure!

Velvet Fragrance

I'm enjoying this thread.

Carol

I think that is the best thing about roses that show their stamens; bees love them!

I do like to see the workings!

Beautiful roses everyone! Here are a few from me.

Lyda Rose

Apricot ? (I can't quite remember the name!)

Rock 'N Roll

Ann

One more! Watercolors Home Run

Ann

Alain Blanchard and the above Watercolors Home Run are my favorites. Lovely!!!!

Carol

Love this thread

Oh! That Lyda Rose is so pretty, Ann! I added a Rock & Roll to my garden this spring, but now seeing Lyda Rose, I wish I had added her instead. Sigh.

Ken --your rugosas are so charming with their stamens exposed for the whole world to see!

Jade--love your Rhapsody in Blue!

Ann--while Lyda rose is lovely, I'm entranced by the unknown apricot one. Something about golden stamens on gold petals--yellow-gold on yellow-gold--that I find very attractive. (Think I might have mentioned that earlier, didn't I. Hmm.) Rock n' Roll is looking pretty snazzy also.

Kate

Took this pic of Miracle on the Hudson at dusk with a flash the stamens are glowing now...lol

Yeah--she heard me when I urged to her flaunt 'em, didn't she! : )

Kate

Pretty Kiss (Meilland)

Chewjackbelt (Chris Warner)

Joan Beales (Amanda Beales)

Nostalgie

Joan Beales certainly has attractive stamens, doesn't she.

The sweet but rarely seen Tooth Fairy AKA Bagtooth:

Wow!! I really love Pretty Kiss!!! It looks like Dainty Bess is a parent. I'm going to check it out. Oh, HMF doesn't know. Oh well.

Tooth Fairy is so sweet looking!!! :)

Burgundy iceberg

Westerland

Morden sunrise

Paprika

Delany sisters

Sunny ko

what I have noticed is that with some of the roses, by the time you can see their stamens, they are looking pretty ratty as a bloom.

Happy "Fourth of July"!

Fabulous form and color! Happy 4th to you too!

Ann

Skylark showing off her stamens more so at this time of year with her shorter mid-summer petals.

I was looking through some photos I took at a public garden this past spring and noticed this rose, Lavender Friendship. I might order it after seeing all the lovely roses with stamens on this thread.

Ann

That's a beauty, Ann.

Lavender Friendship is a new rose to me, and different kind of rose. I really like it!
