It is so exciting to see a rose bloom

Gorgeous pic Nick. Thanks for sharing 😍 Great fragrance on your WOH?

Aghh sure is Kristine :D

Hurry up summer please !!

Hi Darren. I only grow two on your list: Darcey Bussell and Florentina. Darcey is a great bloomer, but BSs terribly for me. I've read this is a problem for some while she's perfectly healthy for others so it just depends on the BS strains you have. I hide her nakedness with underplantings as I really like her. I should probably just move her where I can spray. Florentina on the other hand is a crazy healthy thing in my yard.... vigorous and thorny. However, I had no flowers the first year and only one flush the second on an Own Root plant. Since yours will most likely be grafted, YMMV! Once it gets going, it's a bloomer covered with fantastic clusters of flowers. Plant it in full sun.

Mine has a very strong myrrh fragrance, I didn't care for the smell when I first planted the rose, but it has grown on me.

I also have a few that are new to my garden or are back after a LONG absence.

3 Robert Bruce. From Wisconsin Roses. Budded maidens that I received late last fall. They haven't broken dormancy yet. I have several bush's from Wisconsin Roses. I enjoy watching them go from a little dot on the side of multiflora rootstock to big, healthy roses in just a few years.

4 Sun Struck. I grew this beauty in my garden when I lived in S.E. FL. many years ago. A beautiful rose.

2 Tropicana. Grew it many moons ago. One of the better orange roses you can get.
