Gorgeous Sheila! A great collection. Cheers, Rick

The size of your plant of Marriane is a bit concerning. Ours might be in a bit too tight a spot. She is gorgeous though.

Rick, you never know on the size at your location. The roses that end up crowded still seem to do very well. I have a second one here too and she is also stretching out.

Make that 14. I have those too, Jeri.

Sheila, your Marianne leaves me speechless. I couldn't dream up a more wonderful rose. <3

I am anxiously waiting for both Oshun, and Jerri Jennings to show their stuff in the next 2 or 4 weeks. This will be the third summer for both plants, so fingers crossed they "leap" and bloom. Gallicandy of which we have two, really grew, took off and bloomed well last summer, so that is still on the bloom calendar in a couple of weeks.

We had to move Marriane to her new spot in the OGR display in early April and she is a little transplant shocked, but coming along. So mayhap it will be next spring before she takes off and produces her famous bloom. Unfortunately, we lost our plant of Allegra, which greatly disapoints me, but sometimes the really young ones just don't make it. Sigh...

My Oshun band (RVRs) just had a first bloom open today. A little wonky as first blooms can be but I already love it.

Love your collections, Sheila and Jeri! I agree that your Marianne is an amazing sight, Sheila. Umbra is looking incredible, too. I’m gradually replacing the ones I had to leave behind and enjoying some new ones. Treasure Trail should arrive any day now.

Sooo gorgeous! thank you so much for sharing them

Absolutely luscious, Sheila. All of them. I have had my eye on Diablo Hawk for some time, and your photo really makes it look good. Which is the better rose for you, Dakota Redwing or Diablo Hawk?

Judi, Dakota is taller and Diablo is more horizontal in it's shape here so far. Dakota is a faster repeater so far, but has been in the ground longer. The colors are stunning. Dakota has great Fall foliage color.

Dakota has more blooms but Diablo's blooms are larger and individually more spectacular.

Wow Sheila, Those are all beautiful! Are they all still available in the US? I hadn't seen Dakota or Diablo. I love them both.

Jeri, I love the sunny yellow blooms of Jeri Jennings! How large does it get in your climate?

Rogue Valley Roses sells them Sultry.

They are all stunning, but for me it would be Umbra, both for the color and those cunningly arranged petals. And, the leaves are beautiful too.

Thank you, Sheila. I think Diablo Hawk has such a lovely bloom. But maybe I’ll wait for Ivy Mike to become available. I’m hoping we see it soon.

I like Unconditional Love, its a moss, red, blooming machine. Flowers have no scent but the moss smells like wacky tobaccy

Here's my first ever Marianne bloom this morning.

I love it, Magpie!
