| The roses are in full bloom now, and of course we are headed for July-like temperatures.
LIEBESZAUBER hardly ever disappoints:
First bloom on RONALD REAGAN wasn't that impressive. But I thought this one was. (I must admit that I avoided getting this rose for a long time because of the name. There are pros and cons to naming roses after political figures. Also, what a bummer if the rose you're named for turns out to be a weak grower or just generally disappointing.)
Another shot showing the reverse coloration.
What a pleasant surprise ROSARIUM UETERSEN has been. I like the color, both in the darker newer blooms and the aging older ones. And they last a long time. The bush is in its second year.
COLETTE can't take the heat.
LAGUNA doesn't like heat either. Fragrant and very full blooms, but the aged blossoms are a mess.
Vigorous and thorny. Not pleasant to have to deadhead.
ETERNAL FLAME seems to always brown a bit and to not perfectly unfurl:
Can someone tell me the name of this rose? Have had it for about 7 years.
BELINDA growing at the neighbor's. Wish I had space.
SUNNY DELIGHT
LAVENDER LASSIE In its second year. Vigorous and I like the color. Some pest has made the leaves lacy; what might it be? Hate to blanket bushes with insecticide.
Close-up
MOTHER OF PEARL Super rose, with bountiful bloom, good repeat, healthy foliage, and color that lasts long on bush. Form is not classic, but so what.
GRAND AMORE Red towards the orange spectrum.
PEACE in the morning light.

| Love all the roses and especially Laguna. That saturated pink is great. |

| The mystery rose is not Moonstone, which I also have. |

| Gorgeous roses. Too bad about Colette and Laguna- they are such pretty flowers. Thanks for giving us the low-down on each one. The lacy leaves don't look bad. I don't know what's doing it, but they look kind of pretty. Renee |

| Very nice. I like a little bit of everything in the garden. Lavender Lassie, Ronald Reagan and Grand Amore really stand out for me. You're mystery rose, maybe Pop Warner?? |

| Great photos and flowers. Could the mystery be Sheer Bliss? Looks much like mine |

| No, it's not Sheer Bliss. I would recognize the name if I heard it. Whatever it is, it is not commonly offered today. I got it in a batch with St. Patrick (a late nineties rose). |

| The pest, I suspect is rose slugs (the larvae of sawtooth flies). Here is a closer picture of Belinda: |

| I got my Sheer Bliss in a 2 pack from Costco. Since I got 2 2-packs, the others were: St Patrick We just found the paper labels for them last week. |

| When I've seen Sheer Bliss in gardens, it seems to have more pink suffusion rather than pink edges; and it seems to open differently from this rose. At any rate, I will continue to search through names. Thanks for all the comments. |

| Your roses are beautiful. The mystery rose looks like Princess de Monaco. Kasie |

| Kasie, I think you are right that it is Princess de Monaco. The fully open flower has cherry pink edges like Princess de Monaco. Thanks. The color of the campanula is not really indigo blue, as I said, but a purplish blue. My camera shows different coloration under different light conditions. |
