Cinco de Mayo

Anna's Promise

Scentimental

Holly - Those are very nice! What's the first one called?

Loved them! Your picture of Anna's Promise is the best one I've seen so far. :)

Beautiful Holly! How orange does Anna get? It looks beautiful!!

Holly, beautiful roses and pictures. The first one is definitely an eye catcher. What's its name?

While possibly coming off as a parrot, that first rose is really lovely! Is it Perfume Tiger? It reminds me of it quite a bit. Here's Perfume Tiger from this past Spring:

Ed: I now see you mention that it's Wonderstripe in the striped roses thread. I hadn't heard of it before, but it looks great!

I am waiting for the name of the first rose of Holly's. Great pictures Holly.

Arbutus ~ do you know the name of your daffodil? Love your Perfume Tiger.

I can't think of the name of that daffodil at the moment, but I'll see if I have a list of the bulbs I've planted the last few years.

It's a Wonderstripe. Took me all summer to get that bloom! First year plant and it came as a band.

The Anna's Promise does get very orange, that great kind of glowing sunset orange. My understanding is that it's descended from Gingersnap (which I also grow). It's not hot/electric orange. Another pic here.

Iris_gal -

I don't know if you'll check back on this, but I think there is a good chance that daffodil is 'Ice King.' I'm not 100% sure, but nothing else I've planted reminds me of the pictured daffodil amongst the varieties I've jotted down. Hope that helps!

I love your Wonder Stripe. Lovely!! I don't think I've heard of it before.
I really like your Cinco - looks like swirling flamenco skirts. Love the color

Jay - that's a gorgeous shot of Perfume Tiger!!!

Beautiful roses Holly! Don't despair over your WONDERSTRIPE. Mine blooms like crazy. It's probably 12+yrs old. And the darn thing, being own-root, sent off two runners, so it's actually three plants in a big cluster. The blooms are so unusual. Every one is different. Some will be mostly coral, others lots of yellow, or some evenly mixed. It's a very interesting rose.

Thanks for lovely photos.
