Below are three roses. The first one is one I consider to be quite beautiful although it may be a little past its best. Until Palatine picked it up, I thought I might never get to have this plant again. It is the HT Queen Charlotte.

The next one is brand new. It is not out for general release until next year, but a few were made available. It is from Weeks Roses. It is the HT Good As Gold. It doesn't appear to have show hybrid tea form, but the color is quite interesting and attractive so far.

The third one represents the question mark. It, too, is a new Weeks variety out on early release. The catalog pictures and description say it is supposed to be a grandiflora that has old garden rose form. That is not what I am seeing. It makes me wonder if the tag is wrong. The variety is supposed to be Happy Go Lucky, but it looks like this.

Did anyone else get this rose? Does it look familiar, or did I get something with the wrong label? Any comments about any of these? Thanks.

Can't help you with the mystery rose, but the other two are lovely. Queen Charlotte should be a good show rose (?), and I love the colors on Good as Gold.

The third one reminds me of Julia Child, although I no longer have it and my memory could be faulty. It did have shiny leaves like that and the bloom form is very similar.

All of your roses look so healthy! Love Queen Charlotte too! Palatine has some really nice varieties in their catalog.
