My favorite rose for 2010 was a pic I took of Abby's Angel.--Ron

It's nice to look at pretty rose pictures when it's pouring rain, I can't wait until I can go out and see the real thing in my garden.

SECRET - It's hard to beat!

Beautiful pictures of some really lovely roses. I love Secret, especially for its scent and Julia Child is also one of my favourite roses for the enormous amount of bloom. Abby's Angel is not readily available in my area, but the pic makes me wish it was. It will be sometime before my roses will be blooming so I always enjoy seeing roses from other gardens. Here is a photo of one of my favourite hybrid tea roses.

Glorious

Wow, so many to choose from. But maybe it would be this one:

Lovely, eye candy, more.......Please

We need a purple here. Perhaps Ebb Tide . . .

Kathy

From somebody that took about 3000 pics last year of 400 different roses, this is truly impossible so I just picked one out of a hat that was nice.

Oh!!!! Those are all so lovely!! Does my heart good.

Jeffcat - what rose is that? Such a wonderful picture!!!

Kathy - I can't believe that color!! Amazing!! Is that a pretty typical color for Ebb Tide or is it a once in a blue moon color?

Thanks everyone!

Carol

It's Marchesa Boccella.

I can almost smell it!!!

Carol

These are beautiful. I thought I wanted Ebb Tide, now I'm sure I do! (Just not sure how it would fare in this part of the U.S.)
Marchesa looks luscious!

Ebb and Marchesa would make a beautiful couple!! Luv them and think they would look GORGEOUS planted together. Good gravy, now I gotta go see if I can get them somewhere. Geesh, I don't need anymore roses. JUdy

Yes I took thousands too, can't pick just one. How about PJPII?

Or 'Disneyland'? My Dad always called it "Dizzyland".

'Jude the Obscure'? This one is hard to photograph because it's in full blazing sun all the time:

I love this 'Abraham Darby' with all the little petals. It does that in fall. In spring the petals are larger and the flower is looser.

Well that's enough. Like I said, I've got thousands. Too many!

In my top 3 for overall satisfaction. And wow on the fragrance: Rouge Royale

Oh I'm really lovin Abe Darby, PJPII, and Disneyland!!! AD looks really amazing!!!!

I can't believe that Rouge Royale photo!!! So gorgeous. I had RR last year in a pot. Did nothing. I think I got one crappy looking bloom all year. Didn't have any smell. I hope it looks like that this year!!! Wow!

This is a great thread!

Wow - that's a study of light and shadows!!! Amazing!!!

Carol

Sheila's Perfume

Yeah, Boxo, that's gorgeous!!! I like the 2nd bloom wedged into the picture to emphasize there are more than just that one bloom on the plant. Lovely!!!

Carol

Hoov may I ask where you bought your Disneyland from? Love it. Thanks.

Kate

A double dose of Livin Easy

Andreea!!! I can't believe how gorgeous your Ebb Tide looks!!! I've never seen such a lovely picture of it. Man oh man!!! I'm also impressed by Imperatice Fatrice and Double Delight. LOvely, lovely!!!

Jim - Livin Easy looks so healthy and full of life. Love it!!

Carol

PRECIOUS PLATINUM

Love your shot of Outta the blue!! It looks like an antique rose. Precious Platinum is just bursting with flowers. Love it. I've ordered Mr. Lincoln this year, so I hope it does well and smells great. What do you think of your Mr. Lincoln?

Carol

I think this shot of Ivory Tower is one of my best ones last year.

Carol, Our Mr Lincoln is own-root and it is still young. We just got it last season as a baby band from Heirlroom.
It grew to about 3ft high it's first season from a 8 inch baby Heirloom band.
Carol, is your ML grafted???
