Desiree is the leader of the pack this spring! I planted her in one of my metal raised beds.

She was pruned back hard as I do all my roses so even tho she looks small she’s about 5 years old now ! She is one of my favorites of all . Her colors warm my heart on this chilly spring day . I can’t recommend her enough!!

Mystic beauty . This gal is about 4 or 5 as well and own root from roses unlimited. For some reason she is a slow growing one for me personally, so I don’t prune her back at all . I love her beautiful blooms especially against the lavender next to it .

thats all for today :)

Woot! What a beautiful start, Jen!

Jen, im so glad that you encouraged me to try Desiree. I love the sunrise/sunset color roses. Mine is looking healthy and ready to perform . yours is a stunner

Looking great! I also got Desiree thanks to your recommendation. Very pretty coloring and Mystic Beauty is a huge favorite of mine. Souvenir de la Malmaison had to go on the other side of the fence as it needed more sun but Mystic Beauty does just fine with some shade.

Can’t wait to see the rest of your garden this year

Maybe everyone should start a thread with just their garden-then we could keep track of who has what and what does well in certain areas

Oh I'm enjoying this and looking forward to updates!

Wow I love them. I am adding Desiree to my list now because those colors are incredible.

I like threads like this one because I can scroll and see your garden and also learn the name of the roses instead of having to click on 20 different threads.
