OMG it's taking me forever to get all these photos adjusted! I've still got about 300 to do, and I keep adding. Aaaaah!!

Glad to see you posting again, Beth! I have read about Koko Loco, but you showed me the first pic. Interesting color. That Tom Brown has also a very unusual color, quite stunning!

Thanks for sharing your lovelies!

Pelicanhead, RUSTY is usually fairly disease resistant, but this season, none of the roses seemed to escape the BS from all that rain and cold temps.

Thanks Krista. And that photo doesn't even do PROSPERO justice. It's such a yummy deep velvety purple-burgundy color.

Jim, RUSTY is a really good one. You need to have it!!

Christina, I think I'm going to love that KOKO LOCO!! It's so interesting, and just enough different from many of my other oddball-colored roses in that beigey-lavenderish range. And TOM BROWN is an absolutely impossible rose to get. I just barely snagged it from Cliff. Another one I'm going to be in love with!

Thanks Harold. Isn't that CROWD PLEASER a lovely one? I got that plant a couple yrs ago when my other one nearly died. But it recovered pretty well, so now I have two!

And Queenbee, FRANCE LIBRE is one I got from Ashdown Roses several yrs ago, before they closed up. So far it's been a pretty nice rose. Doesn't repeat all that great, but it's pretty when it does. The color is usually a deeper orange than this photo. The weird weather has a lot of my roses looking a bit off.

I'm in the same boat with my pics, Beth! Sooo many roses blooming, too many photos taken, 10 days of rose show frenzy and I'm way behind on editing, lol.

But your roses and photos are beautiful. You know I like the odd ball colors like you do!
