    Yours are great, Mad. I love Ag Canada.

    These are beautiful. Quadra is striking. What a color!

    John Cabot is just starting here, many buds to go still. I'm having some trouble capturing the color.






    My two other Canadian bred roses are Therese Bugnet (below) and a brand new Victorian Memory that hasn't bloomed yet.

    Great looking plants. I love the color of John Cabot. I got one in the ground last year and am happy to see that it is growing well. It was not growing that well in a gallon pot. I got a Quadra from Hortico and think it's on multiflora roots. Looks like it'll be pretty big. I think the only other Canadian rose I grow is Morden Blush. I have seen better pics of it than mine.

    All beautiful Canadian roses. Quadra is so outstanding in its color. I wish I had the space to grow it. Is that Morden Blush just above, Erasmus? What delicate beauty, and the photo is perfect.


    I've grown Morden Sunrise for many years and love it for its unique single blooms. It's usually one of my earliest to bloom. Diane


    Recent photos of Morden Sunrise featuring a little friend. The tiny spider photo was enlarged several times. This guy was minute. Love those fake scary "eyes" he sports.

    Erasmus, I would agree the color of John Cabot is lovely. It's very bold and saturated and the foliage is always very healthy and full for me so far so it sets off the petals nicely. I took this photo in early morning light so the color is fairly accurate, though I'd say still not 100%. I find it very striking in person. The foliage also gets great fall colors, and hips can form. I really like this rose, though the scent is light and the plant itself is exceptionally thorny and a bit unruly. Seems like it wants to get quite large, even here.

    Thank you, Diane. Love your John Cabot, Magpie. I have a lot of pale roses so I welcome this vibrant color. I hope it'll climb up on my big arbor. Frances in NJ has a good one on an arbor.

    That's a pretty Morden Blush, L Clark. I have a couple of Brownell roses that are supposed to be exceptionally hardy but they're from someplace like NH, ME, or Vermont, not Canada.

    Paul, is that super double red rose one of yours or is it Canadian?

    And, is it fragrant? I have Quadra which is healthy, hardy, and beautiful -- but no scent at all.

    @rosesmi5a Its one of mine, bred from AgCan's L83. It has a very slight fragrance, which, sadly, is another trait of most L83 hybrids.
