2017 wasn't the best years for my garden. Some of my Floribunda's and shrubs had a good spring then it was hit and miss the rest of the growing season. Here are a few spring photo's.

Munstead wood looked great in the spring.

Distant Drums was one of the few roses that looked good all season.
Charisma looked good during the spring.
Pink Knock Out looked good all season.
Blushing Pink Knock Out looked great until the fall. Then it stopped blooming. Just sat there with very little growth .
Molineux bloomed great in the spring. Just sat there all summer and bloomed great again in the fall.
Lady of Shalott did great all season.
Hot Cocoa did very well all season. This is one tough rose.
LD Braithwaite was another great rose for me this past year.
Hannah Gordon had a great spring and summer, then nothing in the fall. Figure that one out.

Ken

Fabulous rose bushes ! How do you foliage all the way to the ground?

You all have some gorgeous roses and they look healthy! Some of my favorites are ARMADA, FELICIA, BOLERO, OCTAVIA HILL, THE LADY GARDENER, TEASING GEORGIA, DISTANT DRUMS, LADY OF SHALOTT and L.D. BRAITHWAITE.

Would love to see more!

You guys are killing me with these pics! The one rose that stood out for me this season more than all others was the new Kordes BLISS rose. Its the healthiest thing ever. That, Larissa and Plum Perfect have all been outstanding. I also really loved Tupelo Honey, but for some reason my died suddenly. Earth Angel is another outstanding rose. These are all grown in NO SPRAY conditions in South Florida, which is nearly unheard of and although some of them struggled in the early fall, they are all bouncing back. Two other winners for me were Bordeaux and Roxanne Veranda. Roxy Vigorosa was also a good one.

I really loved my violets pride and fire opal and of course soul sister ( but I'm sure you've seen that one from me 1000 times!! )

And plum perfect above

Fire opal

ok one soul sister

Sara Ann - I get so excited when I see your Poseidon ! Can't wait to have one of my own.

Sofl, can u share photos of Larissa ? I was interested in this one

Thank you SoFL and Lily! Your Violet’s Pride excites me Lily, it’s gorgeous! I’m really trying to not get too carried away this year, but I am seriously considering that one and a couple of others. Soul Sister is gorgeous too, I’ve been admiring Earth Angel too, SoFL.

I don’t have a pic of Larissa in bloom and currently she’s putting out buds. when she blooms I’ll post her. :)

i like your soul sister. I’m thinking of getting one. She’s supposed to be very healthy and that’s what I need here in sofl. I’ve had great luck with plum perfect too. It’s an extraordinary rose. Such health and vigor on a rose with such unique coloring. She’s a favorite of mine. :)

SoFL rose

Is your kordes Bliss ownroot or on Fortuniana?

Holey Moley - such GORGEOUS pictures - I especially love Hannah Gordon!! Ken - what a fabulous shot!

Sara Ann - that is my exact same word about Zaide - charm!! The bush shape has charm and so do the flowers. I really like this rose. I'm going to keep it even though there's no fragrance. I love the look of your Crazy Love, Plum Perfect, Julia Child and Zaide! I would love to get Orchid Romance!! Your bloom looks so big and full!!

Dave - your Teasing Georgia is amazing!!

Carol

Mine is own root bit I could get it on fortuniana I’d be thrilled. Mentioned it to James at K&M and told him that if he had the opportunity to graft them, to let me know.

Sarah Ann, I love your Crazy Love, those are my favorite colors. I also love the colors of Easy Does It. Plum Perfect is such perfection.

You guys, so many incredible roses.

New to me this year Munstead wood

Savannah Rock and Roll, one bloom only. It was a beauty but I sure hope it does better next year Easy Does It I am looking forward to spring to see the previously planted thrive and the new arrivals planted .

Kristine - I love your Savannah!!! I was thinking of getting it...but since everyone says it's such a great rose for heat...I'm not sure if it would like our more moderate summer.

Carol

Kristine, beautiful roses. Really like your Munstead Wood and Savannah. My Savannah is own root, new in 2017 and looks promising, love the fragrance. I need to try Rock ‘n Roll, not too fond of the stripes, but that one and Neil Diamond kind of appeal to me.

Everyone’s roses look so beautiful!! I hope mine look like all yours someday. 2017 was my first year of seriously gardening so all my plants are babies. I had 1 rose in 2016 but didn’t really know what I was doing and didn’t really care at the time.

but here’s what some of my first year babies looked like (currently they’re under a blanket of snow lol):

JFK roses year 1 (I have 5 of them because I learned the fragrance was amazing, they don’t have a scent yet but I expect they will once they get older)

Double delight year 1 (allegedly - got it from tractor supply so not entirely sure)

Lavender crush year 1 (the most beautiful intoxicating fragrance - planted it in July and within two months it has sprouted a brand new nasal cane which grew to over 5 feet tall!!)

Sweet drift tree (my first rose back from 2016), the poor thing had a rough year, half the graft died but it got some decent new growth that I was able to gently “comb over” to cover the giant bald spot

I am hoping that Rock and Roll takes off this year. Almost all of my roses are first year so expecting improvement this year. And I love strippies and so I really want American Magic.

Carol, I have no clue about Savannah in cooler weather. She is for me a great healthy rose. In the heat she did have flat, pancake blooms but I forgive her because she tries so hard. I planted Beverly and Savannah in the same bed and Beverly really took her time but also very pretty. But , maybe because I have a grandaughter named Savannah, I am partial

Beverly

Winchester Cathedral OUT of Rosenheim not the best picture but this rose has those beautiful shiny green leaves. It took off like gangbusters . It started out a really light watermellon color and by the end of summer had gotten it's deep red color.

Kali, beautiful roses . I love your Sweet Drift. I'm glad it made it. It is such a pretty color.

out of rosenheim Florentina

flamengo rosita

Beautiful blooms everybody! Boy I'm glad I just got CRAZY LOVE!!

Beth, I am torn between Crazy Love and All American Magic. I don't have room for either but that had never stopped me before

Do you also have AAM ?
