I hope it is OK for me start a thread for bi-colored and multi-colored roses. I only have a few and would love to see more. I'll start with mine -

DOUBLE DELIGHT

    Sara-Ann, I especially love your beautiful Peace photo. Is she a favorite of yours? I've loved Peace since I was about ten when my Dad started growing it the 1950s. You can't imagine what a sensation that rose was then. I still remember those huge fat blooms on his "Peace Rose".
    Kate, what an eye grabbing pic of petal packed Red Intuition. It's gorgeous.
    Laguna and Kiss of Fire are my kind of bicolors, Beth. I love a delicate pink-yellow combination, and these two roses are scrumptious. I think my favorite is the unusual Remember Me. But I can't describe those luscious subdued colors--so different.
    View1ny, I love the different look of your Peace. Another favorite of mine are bee pics, and your bee visitor on Double Delight is a cute one.
    Thanks for posting some your blends and bicolors. Diane

    I think I'll post more than one photo of my favorite multicolored rose, Augusta Luise. She goes through so many color stages, it's hard to pin down just what color she really is. Diane
    Is she orange?

  • nanadollZ7 SWIdaho
    10 years ago

    Is Augusta bright pink? Diane

  • nanadollZ7 SWIdaho

    Or is she light pink? Whatever she is I like it very much. Diane

    Beth - I love your combos! Milestone is a rose I've always wanted so I'm getting it this year. Others that caught my eye are Party Time, Summer Nights and Tequila Sunrise. View1ny - Don't know why I forgot my Love, I planted an own root one in '13. I used to grow it and it would be covered with picture perfect blooms in the early fall. Love your Signature and the lovely Peace bloom too. Diane - Yes, I do love the Peace rose. It has been around so long that even people who don't know much at all about roses seem to be familiar with it and seem to like it. I can always detect a light fragrance from it and apparently some think it has a strong fragrance. I think it is so great that you have that wonderful memory from your childhood. Your Augusta Luise is gorgeous. Don't know if I like the orange or pink best, it's beautiful at all stages!

    Beth, you have several of the yellow and reddish shades. Love that color combination!

    I didn't think I particularly liked the Love rose, but view's Love is very attractive. Looks nice in a cluster of blooms.

    Kate, I wasn't so crazy about my Love rose either, but right now in the dead of winter when all I can do is look at garden pics it's looking pretty good! I was thinking of giving it away to make room for another rose, but how can I do that now since it cheered me up so much in January? I'm going to give it another season in my garden & then decide what to do with it.

    I forgot about Bride's Dream with a tinge of pink at the edges of the petals.

  • view1ny NY 6-7
    10 years ago

    This pic of James Galway clearly displays the different shades of pink. Not sure if this is considered bi-colored, but here it is anyway.

    Lesley - I was hoping you had a contribution, love your Rock-N-Roll and your Cherry Parfait is so pretty, thanks for sharing. View1ny, your Bride's Dream looks elegant. I think James Galway is such a pretty color, very nice, thank you.

  • dublinbay z6 (KS)

    Pat, your pic of Rio Samba is absolutely wonderful!

    View--I'm becoming quite enamored of James Galway--never paid much attention to it before, but have seen several pics of it recently. Were those all yours? It is truly a handsome rose.

    Kate

  • view1ny NY 6-7

    Kate, I have a feeling that most of the James Galway pics you've seen recently were mine. I seriously love this rose.

    I have a bad case of winteritis & miss my garden so much. All I can do right now is post pics & drool over everyone else's. It's as much fun as a lot of us can have right now.

    Thanks, Sara-Ann! Like yours, too, esp your âÂÂSheila's Perfume,â which I have been trying to smell through the computer. So many pretty roses here that don't get enough attention. Thanks for starting the thread, Sara-Ann, and thanks for sharing, everyone!

    NCM is probably my favorite out of the roses I purchased last year. Got it bareroot from Regan, and it really took off running. Bloomed like crazy without any disease that I recall. I'm very happy with it.

    Editing to add that it is also strongly fragrant. :)

    Thank you Brittie for the info on NCM, I just now checked back here. Sounds like she's a really good rose.

    I must have missed this one earlier. I love bi-colors a lot so I have dozens of them.

    Sara, I really think that is Granada. It's a dead ringer for mine.

    Kate, there you go tempting me with that Gypsy Carnival again!

    Pat, Colorific is WOW!

    Beth, looks like someone kissed all the petals on Party Time with bright red lipstick!

    I won't post all of mine, like I said, dozens but here are a few different ones.

    Connie - Love your roses, thanks for sharing, Betty Boop is a pretty and frilly rose, love it. msjam2 - I am happy to see your Distant Drums in bloom, it is gorgeous. I ordered one for spring and hope it's as nice as yours.

  • redwolfdoc_z5
    10 years ago

    seil - what a sweet bloom on Tattooed Lady. Being a tattooed lady myself, I might need to find a spot for that one!

    msjam2 - your photos are beautiful. I second Sara Ann about Distant Drums. I have one coming this spring as well.

    I also really like your raised stone border... was that DIY? I'd love to do something like that for my own beds!

    Thanks, Sara-Ann! I haven't posted for a couple of years-just been busy. Then I forgot how and it took awhile to remember how to do it! I will try to post some more now that you have encouraged me!

    Karen, no it's not DIY. It's already there when we bought the house. Although when it's warm enough, I will chisel out the mortar and redo it, they are dried out and have fallen all over the place.
