Thank you, RoseCanadian. The million dollar question is now where will I put it. I think my garage might end up full of roses growing in pots this winter

@magda what’s the pink (last photo) rose?

These are all photos of the same rose, Fire Opal. The flowers open cream and then change to coral pink.

@damask_rose, what’s the name of your pink with yellow “stripes” ? It’s gorgeous

Thank you @RaeAnna! It is a climber called "Candy Land." It is one of my favorite roses!

Thanks! Saw this at the garden centre the last time I went but I already have two climbers so I left it behind, have the rock & roll that’s cream and burgundy, but no blooms yet!

@RaeAnna - Rock n' Roll is such a beautiful rose! I've looked but they never seem to have it in nurseries around here. I did see it once in person, I don't remember where, probably at the SJ Rose Garden, and it was out of this world beautiful!

Thank you @Diane Brakefield and @MasLovesRoses_z8a GA! What I love about single and semi-double roses is that the bees love em too! Here is a full bush shot of one of the Icerbergs. It is not quite as nice as the spring flush but it still puts out a good amount of blooms.:

Have a lovely day everyone,

damask_rose : )

Your Iceberg is simply gorgeous, Damask. Its nice round growth habit makes it even better. You know what else bees are nuts about? A whiskey barrel full of basil that has flowered. And just as good in the spring are boxwood blooming asses of their tiny flowers. So somewhere, there is basil scented honey, and sadly, cat pee scented honey. Bees don't care. Diane

Damask, that is the prettiest Iceberg I’ve ever seen. I also love any roses that support bees.

Diane, that is hilarious! 😂

RaeAnn, has second what a beautiful rose Rock & Roll is. I used to grow it in my previous house. Little did I know that she is so hard to find now in the States.

Oh, good grief...I meant masses not asses. I hate computers. Diane

Diane I’m sorry I can’t help but laugh LOL
Mas, mine was imported into the Caribbean from
Weeks roses. Perhaps you can try there? I hope you find it. Update if you do!

@damask_rose

Belle Story is one of my most favorite roses! I love her stamens so much. They remind me of rose eyelashes!

Lyda Rose

Stars 'n Stripes Miniature

Ann

Ann, love the analogy of the rose eyelashes. I’m going to borrow it when explaining stamens to people.your Lyda is fabulous!!!

Ann I always love your pictures of Stars & Stripes!! I tried to order one from Burlington roses but they weren't rooted yet, I'm going to check back in the spring because yours is just adorable!

Any thoughts on ID?

I wonder if it could be 'Pumpkin Patch'?

mas - Lyda Rose started as a super tiny thing I got from Heirloom but it's now 7ft wide and 5ft tall. I cut it back tremendously in January but it's bounced back and then some!

joey - My Stars 'n Stripes is now a nice bushy miniature shrub, maybe 2ftx2ft. It blooms a lot with tons of these little flowers. So it's good choice for mini and would work well in pot too. I hope you get one from Burling!

I love singles and am learning to love semi doubles.

Dainty Bess was so ashamed of herself, she begged me not to post her pic. She struggles in this climate. Diane, yours is dreamy, and how I want mine to look.

I've found a bunch more in all these incredible photos that I need to grow.

Hutchae, I've thought about Fighting Temeraire for a long time. Your pic pushed me over the edge. I'll try to find it next spring.

Carol, I thought I remembered when you got Night Owl, but I haven't been here 10 years. Do you have a similar one?

RaeAnna, could your rose be Westerland? Mine, just above, is not a good example. The yellow toward the center of yours made me think of Westerland. Check HMF; there are some that look like yours.

Mas - yes, join me in being a garage rose nut....hey that would have been a good avatar name for me! GarageRoseNut. :)

Diane - I didn't even notice that you had "asses" in your comment....and then I read your comment about "masses" and I laughed and laughed!!!! :) :)

Flowers - I checked in my book...and I bought it in 2011...so 9 years. How in the world can you remember me getting Night Owl?? My brain would never be able to remember things like this! I need a new brain! LOL (I'm ready for someone to say..."well, ONE would be a good idea.") LOL

Carol, I must be wrong about remembering when you got Night Owl. I haven't been on the forum that long. I must be thinking about a picture you posted of it and thought it was new. So, no worries about your brain. Mine is obviously worse off than yours.

:) LOL :)

Love your roses Flowers! Beautiful photos as well! I especially like Dortmund, Sharrieshoop, and Morden Sunrise.

My seedling, Paso Doble, which is no more

Art Nouveau, really unique, sometimes red, sometimes pink

Rosa Mundi

Temperance, an op seedling of Blue For You, similar but more consistently dark

Playboy

My seedling, Fido.

Flowers and Erasmus, you guys have some gorgeous roses. Just wow!! 😍

Rose Canadian, I’ll be asking for tips since I have not overwintered roses in the garage in many years...but the way things are going, I’m definitely heading that way. 😂 How many roses do you overwinter one the garage? Like that avatar!!

What’s that last pink one? Looks like mine. The SCENT is a strong perfume, it’s divine!

Marie Daly with the same wonderful wafting scent as Marie Pavie.

There is this incredible single climber at Descanso Gardens that seems to be misnamed. The tag says Rosa gentiliana, but HMF has only a white single under this name.

Thank you, Mas. Here are a few more.

CLEsong, aka Annie Laurie

Mermaid

Basye's Purple...one time I asked a question about it here on GW and Ralph Moore emailed me about it...he must have liked that one.

Nearly Wild

Marjorie Fair ...so many singles have glowing white eyes that must attract bees.

Kim Rupert's Lynnie...a fine plant with lovely color

Little Artist...this one's color is hard to capture. This year it has been a deep burgundy . My little plant of it is covered in hips right now.

Thank you Ann and Mas.

Erasmus, I can't believe those seedlings of yours! They should be on the market for every rose lover to enjoy, but I understand that is a lengthy process. So sad you lost Paso Doble; such a beautiful, bright bloom. I loved seeing your Nearly Wild. I planted one this summer. The blooms are truly charming, and there are lots of them.

Erasmus - I love your Temperance!!! Way to go in growing those OP seeds!!! I love it!! Too bad about your Paso Doble...it was lovely!!

Art Nouveau is striking!! I looked it up on hmf...what a really cool rose!!

Mas - it depends on the year...anywhere up to 57...that's how many pots I have. :) It's going to be a lot easier this year, because we gave one of our 2 cars to my daughter. More room for roses!! Wahoo!!

RaeAnna - did you hybridize that rose? It's really, really pretty!!

Erasmus - Annie Laurie is haunting!!! Such a wonderful picture!! I love your BP! What a lovely color! Another lovely picture of Annie Laurie...she's photogenic!! Your Picture of Little Artist is darling!!! It reminds me of a strawberry!

Thanks, flowers and rosecanadian. I think Paso Doble was just not very hardy. I lost it in winter. It's a seedling of 4th of July, and I have seen someone else's seedling of 4th of July that had similar colors...really dark red , almost black streaks on red. I think that one is in commerce but I don't remember the name. I have some hips of 4th of July right now and am going to try some again.

Temperance is hard to photograph. I think it's prettier in person. It can be very dark. Blue For You can be pretty dark also but my BFY has a wide range of colors, from light pink to dark slatey , inky indigo. If you want to try OP seeds, it's hard to beat BFY for germination rate. I've had a variety of seedlings from it from a lavender pink double with some white streaks, to bright pink, to dark indigo, and more of a wine purple. They all inherit BFY's health, most are fragrant, and they rebloom well.,

Here's my Frances Sims , another BFY seedling. It is a short grower, and to me it's a sweet shade of lavender pink. Named for my mother. Actually the color incarnation I like best of it is paler, and it is almost translucent and seems to catch the light. No picture of that yet.

Annie Laurie is a nice, shrubby, healthy plant. To me the singles with white eyes add some texture to the garden.

Erasmus, I didn't know Blue for You made hips! If she blooms again, I will definitely leave the blooms and hope for hips. Your Frances Sims looks so much like BFY in flower form. Beautiful tribute.

Any thoughts on hips from Mme Isaac Pereire, Morden Sunrise, or Morden Centennial? I have tons of hips from those. Also, I forgot, Dortmund is loaded because I didn't get her deadheaded. Are any of these especially worthy of trying to germinate? I brought in a bunch of hips from Scabrosa last night, but I'm trying to weed out my rugosas, so may trash those. They sucker profusely and take over entire beds.

Playboy has great glossy foliage, too.

Erasmus, your garden is single roses heaven. I love your Marjorie Fair and Annie Laurie.

Hugo, Playboy is such a beautiful rose. I’m hoping to add it to my garden.

Penelope

Glorie des Rosomanes

Fire Opal

Lilian Austin

Miracle On the Hudson

Mermaid

Distant Drums..often semi double

Angel Face..also often semi double

Erasmus - Oh my!!! I really, really love the rose you named after your mother!!!! Incredible!!! Keep on growing those OP seeds!!!

Flowers - you can go on hmf and see if any of those roses have off-spring...then you'll know which ones are more likely to work.

Hugogurll - that is the most beautiful picture of Playboy that I've ever seen!!!!

Sultry - Your Fire Opal and Penelope ... oh my!!!!!

Flowers, I don't know how the seeds do from those you mentioned. I do know that some roses' seeds just don't germinate well and some are very good germinators. The thing is, if you try a poor germinator for years and all of a sudden you get a seedling, it's exciting. Sometimes I just don't ever see a hip on a particular rose, and then one day there's a hip, so that's fun too. For example Louis XIV. I have had one seedling from it and this is it, named for my late dog , Jack Daniel. It makes a pretty interesting plant...good rebloom, vigor, miniature sized blooms, but is prone to blackspot.

I named one Fido because Fido means " faithful" and it's a faithful bloomer. There is a beautiful story about a dog named Fido if you look want to look it up.

Here's one of the most beautiful I've seen....a Kim Rupert seedling of Tom Brown x Pretty Lady. I no longer have the plant...I think cold got it. But the shadings in it were very beautiful, repeat was great, and I liked it better than Tom Brown.

Rosendorf Sparrieshoop

Eyes For You

Mutabilis

Sultry, you have some gorgeous roses! I specially like Penelope and Fire Opal. Do you need to spray them?

Erasmus, LOVE Fido and your Kim Rupert seedlings. They are stunning!!

Thank you.

Mas, I dont spray anything. Fire Opal and Penelope both stay healthy.

Fire opal really stays very green and so does Miracle on the Hudson. They are both very under rated power bloomers.

I need to get better photos of MOtH because her flowers are huge and really pretty. Its a full bush about 5 ft and sometimes has hundreds of flowers. They also make big fat hips that the birds love. I think Jim1961 has this rose as well, in a colder climate and it does well for him as well.

My Penelope stays very small here but she is not in an ideal spot and receives no much care because I forget to (based on her location). Your Fire Opal blooms just look so lovely. I might have to add her to my never ending wish list. Lol!

Thank you Erasmus for the info, and for posting your seedlings. I remember Jack Daniel from some time back. It looks like a heavy, dense velvet. A lovely remembrance. Kim's seedling of John Brown x Pretty Lady is just gorgeous. Love the mix of colors, too. I've always loved Mutabilis, but have never grown it. I've even seen it in my mind's eye in a particular spot in my garden. So many roses, so little time.

Carol, thanks for the reminder to look on HMF for off spring from hips I have. I would not have thought to do that.

Erasmus - true...but for first tries...something you know will work may be better...then once you know what you're doing...try going for the more difficult ones. :) Your JD's coloring is ohhh so smooth like a good wiskey going down. LOL...I don't drink at all. :) Ohhhh I love your picture of Mutabilis!!!! Divine!!!

Flowers - you're welcome!! Makes it so much easier to get hips off of a known good producing mother plant.

You're right, rosecanadian, some early success is encouraging with seeds. Sometimes I give up on a variety. I've had a lot of seedlings from Carefree Beauty but none that interest me. So I don't bother with it much anymore. There's a limit to how many seedlings I want to mess with.

I didn't name our dog Jack Daniel, my oldest son did for some reason. He doesn't drink much beside beer or wine. I never do find that any whiskey goes down smooth...it makes me grimace. I like it in bourbon balls , pumpkin cheesecake, and on fruitcake. A whiskey sour is a pretty good drink. We always just called him Jack.

Flowers, I guess you know Mutabilis gets huge but at least it doesn't sucker. That picture I took of Kim's seedling really doesn't do it justice.

I've seen photos of mature ones, and know it can get out of hand. It is probably too tender for my climate anyway. I wonder if anyone with winters has successfully grown it.
