The only one on your “want” lists that I have is The Lark Ascending - I love it as it‘s healthy and the plant has a fresh, natural look to it, but it‘s not fragrant and I don’t think it would make a good cut flower. So, may not be what you’re looking for....

Blue Girl!!!!

Cyndita, that ¨unstudied¨ look is why LA is so appealing. Disappointing it doesn´t last in the vase.

Oursteelers, one vote for Blue Girl!

Thank you for your thoughts!

Blue Girl is gorgeous, not very blackspot resistant though. Boscobel blew its flowers quickly for me. I would recommend Olivia Rose Austin. Poisedon is great, decent resistance. Colette is really cute, small flowers but pretty. I saw it in a public garden. I'm ipromisedyouarosegarden on Instagram if you want to see Colette, Olivia, and Poisedon.

From you Austin list I grow Lichfield angel, Boscobel and Olivia. Olivia is close by to 100% black spot resistant my my garden with very high black spot pressure. It also blooms constantly and grows well. Fragrance in Olivia is mild to medium here. Lichfield and Boscobel both will Blackspot without spray but I still love them. I will add you on Instagram, I just started using it. https://www.instagram.com/rangiku11/

How about Sweet Mademoiselle HT? Lasts long in a vase. Fragrant, blacks pot resistant, good repeat, and long sturdy stems. Bushy shape with many basal breaks.

Thanks, Totoro. With BS resistance, I may check it out. Didn’t know about it.

I have Compassion and I can tell you that I can't ever remember mine not having at least some blooms at all time all spring and summer so far. It blooms all the time for me.

For me Sally Holmes doesn't make a good vase flower. Very short lived. But it is a beautiful bush.

Rose Apothecary - Poseiden gets a vote. Your instagram is fab!

Dianela - Noted. Olivia, Boscobel and Lichfield are rising in the rankings.

Totoro - SM looks lovely. I´m also looking for Francis Meilland, so an order from them may be in the works.

Rifis - Helpmefind doesn´t have a listing for Tacita, so I don´t know how available it is.

Pipacovalent - Compassion seems to be one of those tried and true standards. Thanks.

Mmmm - Interesting. I see it offered by other flower farmers. Maybe it´s good for wedding work that doesn´t need that long a vase life, but creates a spectacular effect.

Thanks to you all!

Excellent point! I bet Sally Holmes is for wedding work. It screams gorgeous wedding and is always loaded with blooms when the Japanese Beetles aren't munching it. Our beetle pressure let up a few days ago and already I've got some gorgeous sprays with a bunch more on the way.

If I ever built a little screen house for it, it would be loaded all summer long.

Mmmm - lovely rose!

Totoro - I keep meaning to take cuttings and try propogation. I hope my efforts are as successful.
