    Breath of life is so beautiful., is it heirloom that sells it? I may look for space for it. Thanks for sharing with us Beth!

    "Solitude' is the only rose I really regret losing. In person such lovely shades salmon, pink and soft gold.

    'Surreal' is just perfect.

    Is 'Peach Belle' really 'Peach Beauty'? It is a gorgeous color.

    The salmon sherbet and pink of 'Annabelle' are meltingly yummy.

    Thanks guys!

    Irisgal, PEACH BELLE is a rose I got several yrs ago from QVC. It was in an assortment of roses from Jerry Twomey, many of which are not in commerce, and the names never got recognized by HMF I guess. There were a few of the roses that were originally in his "dream" series, and they changed the names for QVC, I imagine. I lost a few of the roses over the yrs. They aren't real great performers. One of the roses that appears to have survived is SAVANNAH SILK, which I know a couple of people here on the forums had yrs ago. I never see them showing up on here tho. One of the ones I lost was VELVET TORREADOR, a really dark red. I wish that one would've survived. But I had it planted in a bad spot that never got much sun. When I dug it up to move it to a better spot last yr, I quickly found out it had died back to rootstock.

    I have Breath of Life too. Do you have any advice on how to get it to bloom more or what soil it likes? Mine is three years old. It has not bloomed much since I moved it last summer. It is 8 ft tall.

    This year there was hardly any new growth off the main vertical cane. Maybe I should have pruned it more aggressively. How do you prune yours?

    I got mine from Heirloom.

    Totoro, my plant is grafted on Multiflora. This yr is the best it's ever had. I've had this rose for over 10yrs. But, it was in a big pot for most of those yrs. I got it in the ground 2yrs ago and it's done really well since. Hardly ever bloomed in the pot. One of the spent blooms before this one opened up to about 5"! Must like the cooler temps.

    Thanks for the clarification on 'Peach Belle'. I was searching for it. :-)

    Thanks. Maybe BoL is not vigorous own root.
