I love this rose and your photo is outstanding. I have two in the garden, but they really took a hit this winter. I hope that they are not dead â¦time will tell. This is such a great rose for me here in KY. Love the picture! lesley

Very nice!

Very pretty.

A perfect bloom, very lovely!

That is a fantastic picture of Rock & Roll. I kept trying last year, but just couldn't take a great picture of it. Good going!! I love this rose - the scent, the color and the huge number of blooms!!

Took another look - what a great picture!!

It's beautiful. Normally I'm not a fan of striped roses but your photo inspired me. I just picked up Rock and Roll today from a nursery and will plan it this weekend :)

thank you everyone for commenting back, i love this rose so much. I even made a video, please check it out and tell your friends and everyone you know. I think i have the only video on youtube of this rose.

Here is another striped rose. I browsed through a rose nursery today and found "Neil Diamond" rose and it's the only one left in the nursery. It's my rare rose find of the day :) I have been planing to buy this rose since I saw its picture recently but didn't see it in any local nurseries. I can't wait to plant it this weekend.

My first experience buying/shipping online bare root roses from Jackson and Perkins hasn't been so good which makes me hesitate to order from them or other online nurseries again. I bought 2 Black Magic and 1 Radiant Perfume from them. They shipped one grade 1 Black Magic. The other two with branches the size of a pencil. They don't do so well (I think the pencil-size ones are dying) even the grade 1 has just a few very small leaves. On the other hand, the bare root roses that I ordered online and picked up locally from Regan are blooming right now.
