| Oh my, you have a lot of beauties there! All your stripers are nice, but I especially like All American Magic and Henri Matisse. Great little minis also--too bad the grocery stores don't put names on them. But loveliest of all is Akebono! That is my favorite blend of colors, and what an impressive shape to the bloom also. Tell me more about Akebono. Kate |
|
| I'm kind of in love with Grimaldi and George Burns... especially George Burns. That yellow/red stripe combo is really something I want to get my hands on one of these days. |
|
| Your roses look great, love them all! The stripes are all interesting and the combinations are nice, especially Henri Matisse. I really like your Dick Clark bush, what a pretty rose! |
|
| Wow you have some really nice looking roses... I really like those striped roses! :) |

| Kate -- I do not know much about Akebono. I recently became interested in Japanese roses after falling for Mikado and looking into the history of the hybridizer. (even though Akebono and Mikado have different hybridizers) That's one thing I just love about roses, all have a story and there is so much to learn. I looked up the minis on the Kordes site (the label said it was a Kordes rose) and I think it is Pink Poetry Kordana. Lothlin -- Yeah, George Burns makes quite a statement! Grimaldi is loaded with blooms, so even though the opened form isn't my favorite, the splashes of color make it a keeper! Sara-Ann -- thank you! I was surprised at how nice the Dick Clark bush looked on only it's second year. Jim -- thanks! I am a huge fan of the striped roses. They always put on such a show! |

| You have some nice ones there, and some are not seen that much any more. Thanks for sharing. |
|
| Wow! That's a lot of 2nd year roses. My fave is Lady Diana - but they are all lovely |
|
| Outstanding! Stripes are my favorite! You have some real beauties! Thanks for sharing......Lesley |

| Holy cow Andrea, did you buy out Roses Unlimited last year! LOL It's ok, I just ordered 10 I think from their summer sale this week :) Last year I bought Grimaldi from RU too, but it doesn't seem to like the high humidity here. It never holds its leaves, and hasn't even thought about blooming. It's still in a pot, so I may stick it in the ground and see what happens. Lady Diana and Mojave are just beautiful and flawless! Love them. Also love the colro of George Burns, I need to get him one of these years. Tammy |

| I'm sorry I lost Montezuma during work. I love the color and elegance of this rose. So pretty in bouquets with white flowers. One of my top 3 favs of 1950's roses. You captured the unique brick-y color very well!! Thanks. |

| Lots of lovely roses you have there, definitely love the stripes one's. |
|
| Wow! You had a wonderful spring flush of beauties! We have similar taste in roses. I love the stripes and bi-colors best. |
