I feel like the old man in the children's book "Millions of Cats." Millions of roses, and each one prettier than the next". These are fantastic. And such great photos.

I cannot agree with you more, Monarda. I especially like seeing full bush shots and roses integrated with other plants/perennials. You all have such beautiful roses and gardens!! In the past, I would have been using this thread to make a shopping list! For now, I am just enjoying the eye candy!

Well, because of some good reviews on Bishops Castle I just placed an order with David Austin

I didn't see it in the new catalog so Im afraid they might faise it out

I love that it has nice spread and I definitely have room for it to get big rose.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope mine is as beautiful as some of the pictures that I have seen you posting.

These are all so beautiful. Pinks are my kryptonite.

Deborah, I love your star of the republic. Mine is orange/salmon to yellow in color depending on the heat. I think that’s so interesting.

Heratige.

Yes, Star of the Republic is usually more of a peach color here, but in cool weather in tends more toward pink. Love your Heritage and friend.

Warm weather shot of SOTR.

Maybe thats the problem, we just never have cool weather here ;)

*dreamy sigh* I love that rose

Man oh man, I think I need a queen of Sweden.

A little late to this thread. But wanted to say there are some really great pink roses from everyone on here! As others have said love seeing the overall plant shots, up close ones & the mixed plantings. I have been interested in pomponella for a bit. Those couple of shots have put it on my wishlist!

I’m glad you bumped it up! Just as inspirational as the first time I saw it . So dreary and rainy so I love these photos!

I was thinking the same thing and feel as though I'm seeing some of the pics for the first time. I didn't notice Summer Wind before, or Sweet Pea. What a sweet little thing!

Here's 4 shots of Jubilee Celebration. I couldn't just pick one.

Sceptre'd isle, Strawberry Hill, Rosanna & Cinderella Fairytale

Oooh, I love that shade of Scepter‘d Isle! So pretty!

And a few more; Canada Blooms, Gentle Hermione, Boscobel (looking extra pink) & Mary Rose.

Blondie you have sosome fantastic pipinks. I love Rosanna!

@Kristine- the pinks were the last colour group I planted. I've never been a huge fan of pink in general. But this forum has converted me, haha! There are some really pretty pink roses out there. And a lot of the pink ones seem to have better winter hardiness than other some of the other colours. Many are rated zone 4. The only shade of pink I'm really not a fan of is the solid pebto bismal colouring.

So many shades of pink, it is hard to pick a favorite. I always like the icy colored pinks and lavender pinks.

That Rosanna is really growing on me . I think subk3 ordered one and she lives nearby so I’ll have to bug her to see it .

The flower bestowed its name on the color, after all, so there is a special relationship. Apparently the color name "pink" (i.e., pale rose) is a rather late addition to the English language, taking its name from the booming 18th c textile industry (as is the case with so many colors). Or more precisely, from another flower, the Dianthus, which took its name from its "pinked", or serrated, petals, as in "pinking shears", used in sewing.

All these are so pretty. So nice to see on a cold, dreary day.

Tipsy Imperial Concubine

Redoute

Oh my —really at a loss for words—so many gorgeous pink blooms! I esp love seeing your EVH, Erasmus— such amazing coloration! :-)

I want a Tipsy Imperial Concubine just for the name!

Erasmus, I forget what zone you're in, but warmer than here, I'm sure, from the beautiful teas you grow. I LOVE E. Veyrat Hermanos and planted one last summer. Even if I get just one year out of it with a few of those blousy, tousled blooms, I will be thrilled. Yours is just what I'm hoping for.

I love Redoute. What a sweet

@lilyfinch - Rosanna is super black spot resistant. That alone is enough for me. Will never be a climber for me, but would be a beast in your area. Only had it for 2 seasons, but it has had really nice flushes last summer. By the way I just sent you an Instagram request, I'm under we_be_blooming. I'm trying to follow others on here as well.

@ HalloBlondie, can you share information regarding the repeat frenquency of Rosanna? I wanted to buy this rose to climb on my new arbor however I read it from several sources that it has very few repeats after the first flush, compares to Rosarium Uetersen.

The “Redoute” is so amazing. I just read about it from DA book that it’s the pink sport of Mary Rose. I’m so indecisive over which DA rose to buy and now some of them are out of stock again! Went to my local nursery today and picked up three Alnwick roses. The staff did mention Bishops Castle is going to be phased out soon...

@zzzone7b - I can't really give a great account of it's repeat so far. I planted it 2 summers ago, bought it in clearance I think, so probably in July. Planted it directly in the garden. My image gallery shows some blooms in August after planting. Last year it bloomed I think in 3 flushes. I have a lot of pictures of it in mid-july, now that would be too late for it's 1st flush. So I'm guessing on this here. I'm going to see how it does this summer. But I checked Palatine & hmf. There are 2 listings for Rosanna. One was released in 2006. Another is listed in 1982. Then there are others with the same name. So I think that may not help with info. However, I think mine is the one from Palatine. It says on there website that it's a repeat bloomer. And very healthy. Planted in morning shade & no black spot!

@ halloblondie, thank you so much for the photos! Love love the bloom form, the color, and the foliage. The hue of pink is so unique. I did read in another post talking about the two identical named Rosanna and maybe the older one does not repeat well? I’m back on Rosanna again! I think she‘s probably more well behaved than Rosarium Uetersen.

Yesterday. Miss Congeniality and Pink Promise.

Those are lovely Joyce!

Erasmus, that E. Veyrat Hermanos is gorgeous. I planted one last spring and it grew and bloomed vigorously , but it doesn’t appear to have overwintered very well. Not dead, but it has the look of a rose that has just enough energy to bud out and then die back.

Very beautiful pink roses, altorama!

Your "mislabelled Austin" is incredible, Hoang Ton! Anyone know what it is? I don't think I've ever seen an Austin that ruffly. Or any other rose for that matter. Reminds me of Yves Piaget.

Thank you Sara Ann!

It looks like Hoang’s mislabeled rose could be Princess Alexandra of Kent.

Heres a few pinks from my garden.

Spirit of Freedom looking a little crispy, but usually a show stopper.

SoFL, I don't think that's it because the bud looks more chubby and shorter. I think it might be Jubilee Celebration. :P

This is my new “happy place” post!! How can anyone not be uplifted by so many pretty pink roses!? Esp. with little green baby frogs! Thanks to all for such gorgeous photos! :-)

Thank you! I love pink roses too, they just make you smile!
