Try to grow some roses in the hardy zone 5 this year, hopefully some of them will survie the hard winter here.

Here is my first rose bloom, please give me some encouragement. :-)

I must say, that is one spectacular bloom! Did you check High Country's website for some cold hardy roses? They have a section dedicated to rose hardy in zone 5 and above.

Thanks so much! So nice of you guys. Tammy, the website is great, and I will need more time, and do more research to find the ones I like.

I will keep updating with my new rose pics later. Some of them, I already forgot the names because I threw the packages away after I put them on ground (newbie, you know :-). I will need your expertise help to ID them.

To seil:
I think it is "double delight", very fragrant. But the flower is not as large as they say, maybe it will need more time to establish.

I thought it looked like Double Delight too. Don't worry, as they mature the blooms will get larger.

Tammy,

Too bad, I think I already became addicted. I checked all of them at least twice one by one everyday. I grow about 30 roses this year, cannot wait for their blooms.

Hi,Harmony,

Actually my camera is pretty old, Olympus E500, I got it about 6 years ago. I guess the light/weather is very important to take the close-up macro picture. You might need to shoot many and pick the best 1 or 2 from them. lol

Well - you're clearly an artist with the camera. Looking forward for lots more photos from you! And congratulations, you're off to a bang of a start.
