Im not that clever. It was just a baby rose growing about a foot awsy from the mother plant. I have another one still growing but no blooms yet.

Wow Ben, 3 more beauties. I got a new Miyabi, hoping that it becomes as gorgeous as yours

BenT, where do you buy these fabulous roses?

Here at last. abracadabra. Small, but first bloom, and potted. Just like th pictures!

Sooooo many beautiful roses…. I don’t know where to start!

Ben, Elena, Sylvia, Kristine, SocalSoCal-magnificent new roses!!! Thank you all for sharing your amazing roses!!!! Real beauties!

Ben, Love your videos, edp. Augusta Louise-now in ny wish list!

Miyabi is gorgeous Elena & Ben!

Versigny -Mmmmmmm-Yummy!

Abracadabra-Wowza! Soectacular!

Soul Sister! Ooooooooo! Gorgeous! Wow!

Romantic Antike-My new Love! Oooooooo, her color is sumptuous! On my wish lust! ”Lust!” I am lusting for her! LOL! Thanks Elena, for sharing!

gorgeous roses!!

Last year I picked up True Spirit at Home Depot. It never bloomed, but is turning out to be an early bird this year. I love the deep red color and was pleasantly surprised to find it fragrant! The roses are pretty small, but I think that is primarily due to it being a very young bush.

Crazy Love should arrive today. I have no place to plant it but it will be potted for a year so I have time to think about it.

I come back to this post and here are the reports

Lavender’s Crush: will it improve its disease resistance? - a little. Blooms are improved but still BS

Eden: It has climbed and covered the side of pagoda.- blooms profusely but BS badly

Bobby of Blue For You: got it as a baby last year and a couple blooms - yeah for the first year baby it blooms well. The leaves are not so pretty

Ispahan: last year the deer ate all the bloom buds- clean leaves, blooms are not special but very fragrant

Zephirine Droughin: the mother plant was dig out by a vole/mole and I managed to save a cutting. - not the most beautiful bloom but lovely fragrance. relatively clean

Easy Does it: only a couple blooms last year and it has grown a lot. - cannot be happier

Florentina: It was moved to an east location - not blooming yet

Hmm, I think I like Emma Bridgewater, Nollie. I have a spot in my garden that is saved for EB in the hopes it gets released here in the USA spring of 2026. Which may not happen. And in the meantime, I’m not certain that some other beauty won’t fill that place.

Gorgeous Noelle!

Ben you have the only AL I have seen that I like. I know I'm in the minority in thinking AL's neon coral is ugly, and I love coral, it's one of my favorite colors just not in roses.

Toffee rose is so unique.

@NollieSpainZ9, wow! that color on EB is striking! @Z10Socal, Toffee rose is indeed unique! It would make for beautiful autumn bouquets!

Nollie, your Emma Bridgewater is gorgeous. The button eye adds that certain something and the pink tones are warm and interesting.

Interesting/Striking are the exact words to describe Emma, a rose that is certainly splitting opinion in this household! I think love might develop..

@Ingrid_vc zone 9b, San Diego Co. inland, your comment about the button eye reminded me of the old DA rose Christopher Marlow. EB‘s color seems like a more uniform version of CM. I wonder if the color will fade more uniformly too.

SoCal, I love your Toffee bloom!

jjkOC, Marlorena from England also remarked on the similarities of EB to Christopher Marlow. DA must be raiding their back catalogue for inspiration!

Ben, I just saw your video on Miyabi and yours looks great, mine , not so much. It is in-the ground but not much happening. Do you have-soil inside the collar?

My first Jalbert rose to bloom this year is Anglia Love.

@NollieSpainZ9, fashion often boomerangs with minor alterations here and there. I think EB is a more refined splash of color, while CM was a bit more cheerfully splashy. :)

ForeveraNewbie - lovely roses!!! I'm in love with your Lavender Crush and ZD (I tried to grow that one...didn't do well).

Nollie - now that is a stunning Austin!!! What a beauty!!!

SoCal - that color is truly remarkable!! I could eat it! :)

Markay - I haven't heard of this Jalbert rose...really lovely!! Thanks for showcasing this rose.

@Markay MD-Zone 7B, I hadn’t heard of Brad Jalbert before. It seems that he breeds roses on his family’s farm in Canada. Are his roses very popular?

@jjkOC zone 10a/22, SoCal, I would not say his roses are popular, but they have a bit of a cult like following. I think most of us came to know his roses though Palatine Roses, but they are now being offered by other vendors in the US including Heirloom. Health is the priority in his breeding but his roses also tend to be terrific bloomers and his roses are often very ruffly! Fragrance has been secondary to health and I believe there are videos if interviews with him where he talks about the challenges of breeding fragrant, healthy modern roses.

@Markay MD-Zone 7B, Thank so much for sharing! I did notice on a quick search of Select’s roses that they certainly tend to be ruffly! Bummer about fragrance being secondary. I suppose each hybridizer holds fast to core values for their brand. I’ll have to look through their catalogue!

I am really looking forward to Emma B! Nollie, yours is so beautiful! I plan on getting at least three when/if it is released in the US. I hope she gets big here.

Z10 , Wow Toffee Rose is unique! Another one to wish for ♡

There should be more mature Emmas making an appearance on the UK/Europe thread soon for those tickled by her. The UK got it a year or so before Europe. I’m liking it more today, a softer, antique rose colour.

I should have added Chippendale to my most anticipated list of newbies. I got it as a tree rose in February and it’s looking good. The anticipation is building!

Markay, I am definitely part oftheof the Jalbert cult. I am in love with the 3 that I grow. I love your Anglia Love!

Here is one of my new Jalbert favorites called Frillly Lilly

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw the bud counts on his roses are very impressive! That Frilly Lilly looks loaded!

Nollie - your Chippendale standard is utterly gorgeous!!! Those big, fat buds are captivating!!

Kristine - your Frilly Lilly is wonderful!!! There are so many beautiful blooms that the foliage is barely visible!!! I'm in awe!! My Jalberts are one cane wonders...I don't think they like our cold....or my care, lol.

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw, OMG!!! Is there a plant in there? It looks like all blooms! Stupendous growing!

Thank you. Carol, that’s a bummer about your Jalberts.

Kristine - I'm still trying...I got a few new ones last year...they're not doing all that well...but the season is just beginning. :)

They are Canadian, Carol. That is surprising about Jalbert roses.

Thanks sultry. Amnesia doing great in the heat.

Sheila - it's probably just my ineptness at growing roses. :) They always come as such little twigs.

SoCal - oh my!!! That color is everything!!! SWOON!!!

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw, yeah that Frilly Lilly is amazing!

Isnt she fun. She will be a small bush with large blooms.

Château de Vaumarcus first bloom, the second of my most anticipated newbies:

Looks like it might be vigorous and hopefully healthy. The bloom colour and form remind me a little of Lady Emma Hamilton, although the fragrance is much lighter with notes of fruit salad and pineapple.

What a fabulous and highly floriferous little rose Frilly Lilly is, Kristine!

Nollie - so many buds!! I love the orange blooms :) :)

Wow @NollieSpainZ9 that looks fantastic!

I have my first bloom on Golden Buddha

Holy cow, Markay, that Golden Buddha has my name written all over it! It looks like it has nice "veining" in your pic (?), which is a trait I adore :-D

Carol, now it looks like this. It's the same rose I took earlier outside. It has a good vase life. I think this bloom is at least 5 days.

Markay - what an exquisite bloom!!! Unreal how beautiful it is!!

SoCal - that is a good vase life! Still a beauty!! I'll probably get a similar coloring to my Eisvogel when/if it blooms this year. It's a new own root/bare root.

Second holy cow Markey, what a fabulously rich colour! I love the juxtaposition in your photo with the ethereal white (aquilegia?) hovering above.

Chantal Ladesou was my third most anticipated but it’s a really pale pink, not at all orange. I think I might have a mislabel, so Chippendale takes the third place. The first bloom opening is a weird warm light red colour, but it’s known to be a chameleon..

(Chippendale)

Carol, I love the lilac combination with latte. So I'm quite happy 😁.

Chipindale is so different than what I normally see. Does it start out like that?

I wonder what my Chippendale will bloom like. It's an own root, bare root rose I got this spring. I'd love the blooms to be that color!

I expect it’s cooler weather thats producing the reddish colour on Chippendale (there are a couple of similar blooms on HMF). It should develop the more usual blend of delicate sunset tones later on, like in BenT’s video further back on this thread.

Nollie, that Chippendale is a beauty. I love the flower form and the color!

With our cooler weather (good to know, Nollie), I'm hoping for the reddish/orangish color. :)
