| Thanks for enjoying! Oops, not Twilight Sunset - Twilight Zone. Senior moment stuff. |
|
| 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? |
