    lol...no, Shebabee. It's the rose 'Jeri Jennings', named after our own Jeri. It's a Paul Barden introduction.

    Edit: if you really like it, Rogue Valley carries it.

    Oh hah, of course! Jeri Jennings and Jeri Jennings! I have seen it and I really like it and -- I have no room, no room, no room.

    Do you have any lawn, Shebabee? Hmmm? LOL!

    If I had lawn -- it would be full of roses. Nope, I'm a renter, with just a tiny narrow strip at the back of our building. Out front, sidewalk, and landlord would not allow us to make a little sidewalk garden with the help of FUF, the Friends of the Urban Forest--they are a really great nonprofit group here that plants and cares for street trees all over the city and helps neighborhoods "green up" their area. I dream of moving . . . .

    Nice to "see" you -- hope you and your roses are well in "these uncertain times"!

    Beautiful Jeri! Only seems right that your own namesake rose looks so good in your home.

    What a happy and beautiful Jeri Jennings rose. It looks lovely at every stage of its bloom.

    Gorgeous! That description aptly describes the lady it is named after!

    So great to see you post, mustbenuts. I always loved your writing.

    The bloom form is gorgeous and the coloration is so lovely. I have such a dislike of the screaming yellow and orange seen in a lot of modern roses, but these soft golden yellows with cream are completely different. The last photo above showing a cluster of JJ's blooms is heartbreakingly gorgeous.


    My oldest (and healthiest, for 6? years now) rose, is Buff Beauty, one of very few I have in the ground. I will just stare at the buds and blooms for a long long time, as the coloration, like Jeri Jennings, is so warm, and the range of apricot buds and warm golden blooms that age to cream/buff, is enchanting.

    Shebabee -- I like Golden Celebration for the same reasons . . . I love "soft" yellows and deep reds, but I'm not comfortable with LOUD colors.


    We had 'City of San Francisco' years ago ... it was a gift. Vigorous, disease-free, and always in bloom ... but OMIGAWD! That COLOR! Everytime we looked out the window, there it was ... it was like looking into a gigantic stop sign. After one year, by mutual consent, we removed it.

    Hah, I'm not familiar with "CoSF" and will have to look it up, given that I live in the CoSF! But I can imagine the color.

    I have admired Golden Celebration on my visits to Annie's in Richmond, and I would be tempted if I had lots of space. However, the one growing not far from me in the SF Arboretum usually has severe black spot, and I am sure it would do even worse in my space. Either way, I think your namesake rose has more beautiful form and coloring. I'm very lucky that I happened upon Buff Beauty when I did, as I was totally clueless about choosing roses. It did take several years before it came into its own but was very worth the wait.
