Here is a picture of Roberto

Oh my goodness!! I can see why you love this rose!! What a beauty!!

Thank you. It isn’t even a fully mature plant yet.

I have Stile 800 and Occhi di Fati. Both are very beautiful, and very different.

Occhi di Fati is semi double, and it is phototropic (white to deep pink). Floribunda. Really fun watching the petals change color after the bloom opens. Nice dark green foliage (I have no blackspot pressure here), no scent.

Stile 800 has very full blooms that are apricot to apricot pink. As they age, they do not fade to white but rather lighter pink. Apple scent (to my nose).

Those two are so pretty, Kathy! How is the bush growth? Upright or rounded?

Kathy - Occhi di Fati looks very much like windflowers! And I really love your Stiles 800!! Oh my!

Hugogirl - that's INCREDIBLE!!!! Does it repeat bloom? Glorious!!!

Yes, it repeats readily. The clusters are pendulous like Wisteria.

thank you! They about 3 years old, and grow upright to about 5 foot. Occhi di Fati especially likes to grow taller canes and it is always blooming! It is absolutely delightful in a bouquet.

Stile800 being a hybrid tea, less bloomy than OdF but worth it for the full blooms and apple scent. The blooms do not shatter quickly either, they last on the bush.

Speaking of Barni roses, I ordered 3 from RU in Fall--Niso Fumagali. Silvina Donvito, and Etrusca for spring. Does anyone have any insight into those?

I have had Etrusca since 2018, and it is probably my favorite rose. I live in a area where I was told I couldn't grow roses, since it is very wet most of the year, but I have between 30 & 40 roses every year, and despite the problems they are doing well. Etrusca doesn't mind the wet, or the heat in Summer. It does blackspot a little, but I spray so it clears up. Most of all, I love the color and form of the bloom.

Mossy, that is a beautiful rose!! I’ll have to see if RU has or

It not or

Hugogurll - that sounds like SUCH an amazing rose!! Heavens above!!

Mossy - OH!! What a stunning rose!!! SWOON!! The first picture punched me in the stomach. LOL

These roses have blown me away. I love every one of them.

Mas, your Roberto is such a lovely thing. I've been noticing him for several years, and what you say about this rose makes me want to give Barni a try. Where is the best place to buy them?

Kathy, Stile 800 and Ochi de Fati are both gorgeous. What unique roses. I'm a sucker for the pouffy types, so Stile 800 really appeals to me. She's a lot like Augusta Luise.

Wow, Hugogurll, Perfume Breeze is a blooming machine, really different and beautiful. I love how you're growing it.

Mossy, the colors and bloom form of Etrusca are perfection, and so is your photography. I checked HMF, and though there were many beautiful photos posted, yours are by far the best. Diane

Thank you, all. But the credit goes to Etrusca, it's impossible to take a bad photo of it.

@Diane Brakefield I got Roberto from Roses Unlimited. They have a nice collection of Barni roses.

Mossy what do you think of Etrusca’s fragrance?

I know it has some fragrance, but I have a severely challenged nose, so I'm not much help in fragrance ratings, sorry.
