At last I got to see Beth's 'Remember Me' (Cocker'84). Midday light rather bounced so richness of color was decreased. Otherwise color is true. Tail end of blooms on a sparse leggy-looking bush. Quite unique.

The only other solid orange there to rival 'Cheshire Life' was 'Shreveport' (salmon orange and in full bloom).

About 3 blooms left on 'Cheshire Life' (vermilion orange HT, Fryer'72). Very very handsome.

'Neptune' only had one bloom open :-(

'National Trust' (McGredy'70) was pure gorgeousness. Beautiful rich even color, every bloom perfect, clean foliage. Loved it.

Needed "shades" for National trust.
Adore orange roses. Yours are spectacular.
Looking forward to more of the Neptune blooms.
