Very few of my roses have been productive for the last month or so but here are the ones that got caught on camera...

Big Apple

Charlotte de Turckheim (colour is a bit darker in real life)

CHEwjackbelt

Diablesse de Mers (first bud from a cutting taken in june)

Fréderic Mistral

Joan Beales

Leah Tutu

Plum Jam (sublime fragrance similar to Munstead Wood on this one but not very healthy)

Thanks for commenting everyone!

Helen: Frederic Mistral, Joan Beales and Leah Tutu are in the ground but only FM has endured a winter so far (where it died back to ground level). The others are in pots.

Love the "cabbage heads"of Plum Jam and Charlotte de Turckheim. At first glance I didn't think CHEwjackbelt was a rose. Love Big apple. Thanks for a show of "different" roses. Very good success on the Diablesse de Mers, cutting.

I'm not familiar with any of these roses except the beautiful Frederic Mistral. I enjoy your roses so much--and you do take nice pics.

Beautiful roses. Are they in the ground or in the pots? If they are in the ground they must be extremly hardy for zone 4-5. Helen

Poor 'Fréderic' looks ordinary amongst these. Gorgeous haunting colors in 'Diablesse de Mers'.

Lovely!!!

Big Apple steals the show!!!! Love those colors!!! Does it have an apple fragrance?

Although Diablesse de Mer is sublime!!!! What a stunner!!

Actually, I don't know if I can pick a favorite - they're all fabulous!!! What a treat!!

Carol: Big Apple has great fragrance but it's not apple-like (can't really describe it, but it's very nice). I think the name actually refers to the nickname of New York City.

Ingrida: CHEwjackbelt is one of those Hybrid Hulthemias so I guess it's only a "half rose".

They're all gorgeous, Henrik! I love the unique coloring of Diablesse de Mers. I enjoy seeing roses that are not readily available in the US, and yours are very nice.

I found a more open picture of Diablesse de Mers on HMF. What a stunner! http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.267401

Henrik, they don't have many pictures on HMF - your photos would be a welcome addition, especially since you've captured the bud form. I would LOVE to have this rose!!!! Thank you for bringing it to our attention!!

Carol: I am actually the one who uploaded that particular picture on HMF last year (I am "lilac_time" there) :). Here's another picture of the same flower. fully open:

The purple colour isn't always this deep and it usually fades quite quickly. I have a soft spot for the yellow-purple colour combo.

Another picture of the cutting as well, the whole little plant (not the best photo though, colour is bit darker IRL):
