I have yet to come up with a name, any suggestions?

Terry

The colour reminds me of a hair ribbon I had when I was little... the name that sprung to my mind was Satin Bows. Don't know if you like that but it's not registered.

This rose puts me in mind of one of my favorite desserts.
Lemon pie filling mixed with marangue. I don't over mix so it has the yellow of the pie filling and the creamy white of the partly mixed marangue.

It's called LEMON CHIFFON and that's my name for your rose.
I don't know how yoi search to see if it's taken or not

Shazam, I'm doing this for you and all others here on the frozen prairie tundra and beyond.

As for the name, I'm thinking along the lines of something that gives suggestion to the yellow color and prairie heritage ...

It's been rainy and cool here again this week...although forecasting a few hotter days starting tomorrow. My clems were just bursting with color when a got home. The roses looked pretty messy though, all brown from all the rain we've had over the last month.

Keep us up-date with all your seedlings.

'Alberta Glory', that's definitely more along the lines as to what I was thinking, I quite like that actually :)

Terry

Standing in line for one! :)

Here's another one I'm really liking ...

How about an Alberta theme for your roses? That one can be Alberta Sunrise. :)

Hi Lois, thank you for your comments. Tt was a good fifteen years back when I had done my first rose crosses, I had some awesome seedling come forth when using 'Morden Sunrise' ... though, that following winter was snowless and inexperienced Terry had not planted the seedlings deep enough, all were lost, this was not a testiment to their hardiness, though rather to the unfavorable winter conditions. Yes, this is something I do on my own, though it briefly had been discussed hooking up with a facility that would give space and assistance to further along such work, though at this point in time, I don't know if I wish to take things that far. Generally, each spring I set out hundreds of seedlings and out of this only a few will prove to be rather outstanding, though many will be acceptable as keepers within my own garden, the rest are either qickly or slowly winnowed out.

These are the first blooms of rich pure yellow, hopefully form will become better as the plant becomes established.

I hope this new yellow will prove to be good ...

Lois, yes, I do breed other plants, I've done some work with large flowered clematis and also raspberries of all things. Most of the clematis seedlings have yet to come into bloom, though I've been pleased with some of the raspberry hybrids :)

I agree with everyone. The roses are stunning! The first one reminds me of the noonday sun, and the pink, and pink-yellow ones, of the dawning sun on the clouds here in Calgary. We get some awe-inspiring sunrises here, the like of which I have never seen in Edmonton, or NE Alberta. It must be wonderful to see these colours in your roses, knowing they won't be gone within the next two minutes! Keep up the good work!

I am rather pleased with this sunset colored rose, the blooms are long lasting and fragrant.

And for the second one, I like Alberta Sunrise. On the same theme, I also like Alberta Dawn.

Someday, I'll get to the point of planting roses in my garden (it's still only year one), and when I do, these look like fine candidates.

Thanks for sharing!

Your roses are fantastic! And from an Alberta- girl, your proposed names are too cool! Kudos to you!

Thanks, Lynn, for bringing this thread up!
