So lovely !!!

does anyone grow sweet flow ? my blooms are so small im not sure if thsts normal or not ..

Kentucky Rose, what lovely roses and in such a short time. I particularly am impressed with Victorian Secret--its beauty, bloom structure, and shaded coloring. Diane

Beautiful roses. I get so confused by all of these April and Ashley roses so I welcome the posts. I second Daniella's question

Dianela and Vaporvac, yes, I do spray for blackspot, insects, and mites. I use Bayer products and Floramite. Even with spraying when the humidity is high (July/Aug), some of my bushes still get blackspot. Time will tell how they all do. I really don’t want any blackspot magnets and I’ve had them in the past.

Diane, thank you! I am pleasantly surprised, too, about Victorian Secret.

Lilyfinch, have you sent A&A a picture of your Sweet Flow? Maybe the next bloom cycle they will look more normal? Wishing you good results!

BenT posted on another April and Ashley post how to get free shipping and up to 40% off an order. Anyone interested that has A&A roses may want to check it out. Good luck and enjoy!

Kentucky,

Love your VC!!!! Gorgeous blooms! My fave! Fabulous roses from A&A-they all look very healthy and beautiful!

Lovely Victorian Secret, by Dummen Orange, frim April and Ashley! She is growing so well in the ground for you! My VC is growing 4ft out of her 5 gallon pot-Oops! I cannot contain her. She needs to stay in that pot until Sept when I move to PNW. She’s blooming a lot, too. A very vigorous grafted rose. I wonder if she will continue to bloom those light peach-pink -cream colors. My VC is same colors as yours. She may be a “hybrid of the other darker pink-peach Victorian Secret by Dummen Orange.?” I love her even with this new lighter peach-pink coloring-very delicate colors! Super hardy vigorous rose for me. What do you think of her colors?

Lampion is a delicious color! Very bright yellow w/ pink tipped blooms! And I am thinking of that yummy rosie licorice fragrance! She must be heavenly in the garden!

How tall is your VC now? Yours is a couple weeks older than mine, but in ground she is probably taller?
