Without a doubt--you have the best "oddballs" collection, beth. Wish I could run over and see them blooming in real life in your garden. Can't imagine what they look like. Guess Kansas to California is kind of a major trip, however. LOL

I look forward to seeing other oddballs too. Totally new category for me.

I hate to call Honey Dijon an oddball as it is a wonderful and beautiful rose. Its color like peanut butter or maybe mustard but in a nice way, I think.

I agree with Kate, you have the best oddballs, Beth! I wish my Rainforest had lived. It's so delicate looking.

Nothing odd about that Honey Dijon, Kathy, it's lovely!

I only have a couple.

Hot Cocoa

and Koko Loco

oooh I love the odd balls! I usually go for oddball moderns, and very full & globular OGRs :) I have Acropolis coming fro Palantine this spring...very excited!

No doubt about it--you people have some strangely attractive oddballs growing in your gardens. I bet lots of people stop and ask questions about them--they are so unusual.

Kate

OMG, I love the photos of Koko Loco. Is it commonly available, anyone?
And, since some of you folks think Hot Cocoa is an oddball, I am going to post my oddest photo of it. Once upon a time, the right conditions prevailed and it looked like this. But this isn't the usual color scheme.

Most often, it is a red with purple edges, or maybe a burnt red orange. IMHO, it is pretty in any color it takes on.

That is a very off color for hot cocoa Kathy! As for Koko Loco, it is a wonderful rose! Mine varies between lavender and tan. Also repeats well. I purchased mine last ear from Edmunds, but I think quite a few nurseries are carrying it this year.

Great roses everybody! I love the photos of KOKO LOCO too. Mine almost died and I'm so glad it didn't. Can't wait for it to bloom again this yr!!

Tammy I love your GREEN ROSE and AUTUMN BLISS. I got AB last yr but it didn't bloom yet. I can't wait to see it too!!

Kathy that's an amazing photo of HOT COCOA. Mine occasionally will get a bloom to look kinda like that, but not the whole bush. That's cool!

Tootsie is really cute, Tammy!

My Hot Cocoa has never been quite that lavender, Kathy, but I have had it look very gray/brown.
