Lovely roses!

They look beautiful!!!

Extraordinary. I love Prieuré de St. Cosme

'Crème Caramel' makes such pretty flowers.

Does 'Purple Lodge' become this color in real life?

'Prieuré de St. Cosme' looks very unusual and nifty. Hope we see more of it.

'Blauwestad' it is. Can't resist that center boss of yellow stamens in your HMF picture.

Thanks for sharing they all gorgeous

Things are looking quite good over there! Beautiful roses.

Soooo pretty. I really love the diversity in your garden.

You've posted, rarely seen beauties.

Those are gorgeous Sharlene! I love Belami Kordana, Creme Caramel and Mamy Blue and Purple Lodge. Your roses are always lovely!

Those first 3 are especially lovely together as they move from darker to lighter shades of apricot, yellow, and ivory. I was quite taken by the trio.

Sharlene - wow and wow!! Creme Caramel and Purple Lodge are my favorites. Koko Loco is really beautiful!! Lovely roses!!! :)

Thanks all!!! Glad you like them.

Irisgal - yes, I have seen that colour on Purple Lodge - it really ages to purple and more so in cooler weather.

halloblondie - thanks the roses in those pics do look very healthy but I believe my garden is no different from others! Been having a real hard time with BS, rust and thrips this year. I just don't like taking pictures of roses that look like this

Towandaaz - thanks, I have gathered quite a few different roses, mainly HT's over the last couple of years but my collecting days are slowly coming to an end! :(( I am running out of space and probably will only order 5 or 6 this fall and that is going to be a really difficult decision because my wish list is soooo long!

Absolutely gorgeous pictures. You bring out the best in each photo. I suspect you're very technical.

Sharlene -- Beautiful roses with a wonderful range of colors!

I have a question for you about Blue For You - does this rose which is supposed to be a floribunda bloom well for you? I planted BFY this past spring and I've had only a few flowers. Mine gets good morning sun but quite a bit of shade in the afternoon. I'm planning to move it to a sunnier location to see if it helps. I just have a one tall stem that produces a flower or two every once in awhile. I've never had a floribunda do this.

Thanks!

Ann, I saw BFY a couple of years ago and was actually not impressed by the bloom. probably because I prefer fuller HT's. I picked this on up at a discounter this summer only because of the ridiculously low price. So basically I am probably not the best person to ask but I think moving it to a sunnier location would help. If it was earlier in the season, I would prune that stem down to 3 or 4 eyes to encourage basal and side growth. Maybe you can still do it depending on how long your season lasts. Just my opinion :)

Sharlene

Gorgeous!

Great roses! I nearly bought Prieuré de St. Cosme last year. How is the fragrance?
