    Nice pictures Iris. Love Song, Sparkle and Shine and Wild Blue Yonder are my favorites, but they are all lovely!

    Very nice roses! I have Bella Roma and I love it , but it does tend to get those 'dirty' spots on it's petals. However, the scent is divine!

    I've been thinking for quite awhile of getting Wild Blue Yonder. Yours is gorgeous!!!! Do you have a bush shot?

    The 2nd picture of Sparkle and Shine has the same wavy petals that Perfume Delight has. Such beauty in yellow!!!

    Do you have a bush shot of New Zealand? I had it last year as a new plant, and it didn't do very much. What do you think of New Zealand?

    Gorgeous flowers. Thanks for sharing!!

    Carol, sorry, New Zealand was at a nursery and only had 1 or 2 blooms open so I didn't do a bush shot. I really liked her. We had an unusual spatter of late rain that I thought may have adversely affected some of the roses. Here how sher looked 3 1/2 weeks earlier when I first saw her. I'm thinking she's going to be a stunner but wonder about performance in wet conditions. Not a worry here!

    Buford ~ I loved Bella Roma. Great coloring.

    Carol, this was the best I could do with my camera on a larger shot of Wild Blue Yonder. The Carruth roses were in full performance at the gardens I visited. I think I expected WBY to be more lavender from pictures I'd seen. Climate? But cannot fault the bloom and health of this one.

    My new Bella Roma has finally started putting out buds. For awhile I was wondering if it would bloom. I am very excited to see my first bloom. How has yours performed for you?

    Friday, I received my Love Song from Edmund's' and planted it Saturday. Now I'm really anxious to see mine in bloom...weeks from now. Good to know that it's a producer! How's the fragrance?

    Yeah, looks like it doesn't like rain. :)
    Love, love, love your Wild Blue Yonder shot! And that's only one plant?
    wow!
