    Ugh. Why Oh why did I pass up oyster pearl. Love orange ruffles plus lots others. I picked up an orchid masterpiece cl at Lowes for $10 so can't wait to see how it performs. Judy

    I really love Oksana and Oranges 'N' Lemons. Great photos!

    My only "O" is Olivia Rose Austin which was planted in spring 2016. OAR blooms in clusters; the cluster in the back is from the same shrub. This was the first bloom.

    This photo was taken on day six of blooming; seems like OAR can go up to eight days before blowing. It tolerates dry heat very well.

    OAR was darker towards the end of fall and reached about 3.5 feet tall. I have a feeling it will get even taller in 2017.

    Some gorgeous O roses! Beth, too many to name, but I love your oranges and Old Port and Odessa are especially lovely!

    Ann, your Olivia is breathtaking!

    Love your ORCHID ROMANCE, Sara-Ann.

    Love the 'cabbiggy' heads of Olivia, Ann.

    My Olivia Rose Miniature - Named for Olivia Rose Engel 6 year old who was killed in Newtown.

    Lovely everyone.

    Ann, those really are breathtaking shots of Olivia Rose. I was sorely tempted by it last year and didn't jump. Yours makes me want to - though northeast zone 5b is a lot different from southwest zone 9!

    The only O I have is "Oui", which I got from RVR and added to the little fairy garden I keep with my daughter. I only put it in last fall, so alas no photos yet!

    Thank you Sara, Ingrida, and redwolfdoc. The DA website says ORA can be grown in zone 5 so you might give it a try redwolfdoc. It seems like a tough rose despite its delicate appearance.

    Steve - I love your Olivia mini rose but I'm typing this through tears.

    Olivia, both of them, are just lovely. Good to hear that the DA rose does well in dry heat. I also love Our Anniversary. What a beautiful rose!

    I only have one O rose, Occhi di Fata. Great rose!

    I love how she changes colors daily. Always a pleasure to watch.

    mustbnuts, I'm delighted to see a Barni rose here! IMO, the first one .
    in this alphabet. Last fall I bought Liola, from the same Le Farfalle coll.
    Osiria


    Oranges & Lemons

  • 9 years ago

    Oh Neptune! I love that OSIRIA! I used to have it and it died a few yrs ago and has been hard to find anywhere here in the US, until now. Roses Unlimited now has it available!! I have one on order for spring. Can't wait!!

  • 9 years ago

    Neptune, Osiria is beautiful. I will have to look for a picture of Liola when we get to the "L"'s. I wish we grew more Barni roses here in the US. They are hard to find.

  • 9 years ago

    I also have LIOLA on order with RU. Been looking at that one for a few yrs. I'm not a huge fan of the singles, but it looks gorgeous!! We already did the L's. Maybe you would go back and add it Neptune?

    Oooh, I don't have pictures of Liola. It arrived in November. I can give you a link to another fotum, with pictures of Barni roses and comments. Unfoturnately, the comments are not in English

    Thank you for the link and I am thankful for the computer translator. Now I remember Liola. I also almost ordered that rose from RU. It is beautiful! I just wish I had more space for roses. Can't wait until you are able to post some pictures of her Neptune.

  • 9 years ago

    Wow beautiful photos on that link. I like the looks of OCCHI DI FATA too! Looks like a lovely rose. Didn't realize it gets so much red on it.

  • 9 years ago

    Beth, the rose changes colors every day. The blooms start out white and then start to turn dark pink. When the flowers are "old", they are solid dark pink. The plant never looks the same from day to day. It is very lovely.
