This is my most beautiful one.

R pnw, I love your Violet's Pride---that first bloom is just sumptuous. I guess I could say the same for Pippa's rose confection, Quietness. Both these roses have a lot of fans, and I can see why.

I just couldn't decide my favorite beauty of this garden--so it came down to a runoff between Augusta Luise, and Austin's Evelyn. Diane

My garden has been hit very hard by deer this past week but CreamVeranda still takes the prize as most beautiful

Louise Odier

One more

Farmerduck - that first picture of Louise Odier is amazing. Sheer perfection with the rain droplets and the packed petals.

All the roses are gorgeous

I agree, suncoast. But I'm sorry to read oursteelers has such a deer problem (I do, too). It takes the fun out of growing our roses. Some of my roses have awful thrips, too. Diane

Gorgeous roses and so sorry for the deers to come take away the beautiful roses. I have thrips too..but haven’t tried dealing with them at all.

These are all so pretty I'm drooling.

Wow these are so beautiful!! I’m so happy to see that quietness photo , I just ordered it from heirloom .

Such a beautiful thread !!

I just bought belle story and it smells like sweet candy !

It was late so it was closing up. I will update with a better pic tomorrow

Currently the most lovely and floriferous rose in my mid to upper 90s weather is Monsieur Tillier. The blooms are the same size as Cècile Brunner due to heat shrink and don’t have their reported fragrance. 8 month old bush. I am looking forward to seeing the blooms in fall weather. So far they have very changeable colors from pink to gold to peachy. This is how they look this morning.

. That is a really hard one because Beverly has about 200 blooms and is just breathtaking , young lycidas is just a beautiful orchid color and full of blooms.

But I think right now it is Lady of Shallot

Yes- I'm so sorry the deer are being such a nuisance. It's so frustrating to work so hard and have the critters just wipe out your efforts!

One of the roses that's holding up well in the heat is Potter&Moore, an old Austin that is one of my favorite roses. A pity that it's almost impossible to find nowadays.

Glowing red..or deep pink... damask fragrance... vigorous, healthy Tea like foliage...and continuous bloom...long flexible canes.. a climbing Hybrid Tea that should be better known... and to top it all, totally thornless... this rose should be everywhere if you like red, of course...

'Marie Nabonnand'...[1930's Nabonnand, France]

It usually comes down to what is in bloom in my garden, BUT there a some that stand there and tell the rest "Top this".

Marlorena, Your Marie Nabonnand is gorgeous! Does she need full sun or can she handle part sun, 5-6 hours a day?

Earth Angel looking pretty in pink

Earth angel is really pretty ..Kristine !

Lovely roses everyone! Since there’s not much blooming here right now, not many real beauties, but here’s a few surprises recently.

ORCHID ROMANCE

Sara Ann, I sure love your Orchid Romance. That orchidy color just gets me

Everything in my yard is looking scraggly & insect damaged right now, but I enjoyed looking at everyone’s photos, thanks for sharing!

Here’s a thrip damaged first-year grafted Evelyn, with a dog photo bomb behind the “dog crossing“ sign:

Close-up of a bloom after I pulled the outermost thrip damaged petals off (they had stiffened up & looked like they might keep the bloom from opening):

For catch-my-breath beauty, the most beautiful rose in my mind would be Eden. When Eden is "on" she's just what I want in a rose, visually. I love the cupped flower form, the pink center fading to nearly white on the outer petals, and the flowers that hang a bit from the stem, like bells. Too bad there's nearly no fragrance.

But then again, you might ask me another day, and I might say Abraham Darby, or Evelyn or even Radio Times which have the added benefit of fragrance.

Abraham Darby, which you might notice has similar qualities as Eden in my yard.

Similarly, so does Evelyn.

And Radio Times really has really caught up, and even surpassed Abe and Evelyn for intensity of fragrance.

I already posted but today it’s a different rose. I’m sure it will surprise nobody.

Caribbean Breeze

I love seeing everybody’s roses....it‘s a bit like having them in your own yard when you get to enjoy them here.

If only there was fragrance...
