| Here's a few of the roses that have been blooming here in Lawrence, KS the last few days. Alba Suaveolens Psyche Treasure Trail Rosenprinzessin Sequoia Greenfield Bouquet de Venus, and a Ladybug larvae Precious Dream Applejack Lauren Spanish Rhapsody Excellenz von Shubert, looking a bit choloritc The Poet, whose blossoms are about three times larger than they were last year on a new plant growing from a band. Blessed Child, from a plant I gave away last year that is now planted in a friend's yard. Perle d'Or Julia Child--she may not have opened very early in comparison to others, but last year once she started she didn't take a break until late August. Reine des Violettes Blue Moon--haven't been able to catch an open bloom that wasn't ruined by rain, so here's a lovely bud. Paradise Cabbage Rose--I had always thought the rose that grew in front of our house when I was a child was a Cabbage Rose, but its blooms were larger and much more fragrant (and consistantly so) than this one is, so I'll keep looking Zeus Charles Darwin--another of my favorites, and one of the few roses whose petals are not the least bitter tasting, so also one I use in salads. Katherina Zeimet Marilyn Monroe Judy Garland Good old Duplex, still blooming The Apothecary's Rose Cafe Baby Faurax--I almost got rid of this one last year, thinking Lauren was superior in every way, but one of the cuttings took, and I had been missing the fragrance, the one area it has over Lauren. Eugenie de Guinoisseau Marie Pavie--I don't know why _some_ people think she's finiky. and finally, White Pet joins the long parade of white polyanthas in my yard. |

| Charles Darwin is larger than it says on HMF, and has the octopus arms some Austin roses are famed for. It is mostly thornless. It is only that color in the cool and damp weather of spring and fall. As it get warmer and drier, it becomes more apricot, and in the dry heat of 90-100 degree weather it is mostly pink. I haven't had much trouble with disease, but I do give an occasional sulpher or copper soap bath. (On the other hand, that doesn't stop some other roses from blackspotting all the time.) |

| Lovely roses. One of my favorites is Paradise. It's hard to beat that color combination with the bright magenta edges. So nice to see all the different classes of roses you have. Thanks. |

| Rozenprincessin and Precious Dream are two that especially caught my eye from among all these beauties. |

| You are growing some roses I have never seen before. It would be hard to choose a favorite, but that Charles Darwin is outstanding!!! Lesley |

| Thanks for the info on Charles Darwin. I believe I will give him a try. Apricot and pink work for me too. Do his blooms blow very quickly? My Jude the Obscure is gorgeous but he opens up and then blows away. Susan |

| Found you on gardenweb...cool. I have been a member of this forum for a while but uploading multiple images on here can be a challenge on iPad. Beautiful blooms on your roses...wow! Very impressive. I got 2,000 ladybeetles yesterday and am going to try chem free. If your roses look that good chem free, I have to give it a go! Thank you again. |
