| Jeff, your right an abundance of BEAUTIFUL roses and so many varieties. I started down the string tring to pick a favorite and before I knew it I had just about wrote down them all. But your MOONSTONE & BLACK MAGIC especially AWESOME. THANKS for posting and keep them coming. Harold |

| Jeff, Absolutely stunning !!! I'm becoming very, very fond of red roses and my collection is growing but I have an almost magnetic affinity for roses that look exactly like Disneyland. That, my friend is DDG (I would make the caps bigger if I could :-) |

| Does GOLD MEDAL often have its edges tinted orange? Love it. |

| Thanks all for your kinds words. Boxofrox: Disneyland can be a challenge here on the east coast. If you aren't religious with spraying it will get blackspot literally overnight. Probably why it's called Disneyland instead of Disneyworld. Definitely better suited for dry climate. Iris_gal: Gold Medal takes on myriad of colors during its bloom cycle. Some start out with an orange edge then turn yellow and finally before dropping turn almost white. Lesley/Harold: I do enjoy growing roses in pots. Generally I leave them in their original containers the first year to see how they do. If I'm happy with their performance the next year they go in the ground or into a much larger pot. I'm fortunate to have an unattached, unheated garage to overwinter them in. I use Miracle-Gro Potting Mix (not the moisture control stuff) mixed with some humus/manure. I throw in a little alfalfa meal and bone meal at the bottom of the planting hole. I've found this, plenty of water (almost daily) and monthly feedings of half-strength Rose-Tone makes them really happy campers. Sometimes I use a foliar spray of fish emulsion and/or seaweed. |

| WOW Jeff, you've got some beauties! Can't decide which I like best, they are all so beautiful and you've captured them so wonderfully in your photos. Thanks for sharing. : ) Becky |

| Me, too. Harold I had to revisit both JeffAurora's roses and Boxofrox's garden to cheer me up! Whenever one gets very worried and discouraged all one needs to do is visit these beautiful flowers! |

| Wow!!! Those are some of the nicest shots Iève seen of PJPII!!!! Mine is first year, and they donèt seem quite as large, full or nicely formed. But the scent is heavenly!! Same with my Vet Honor. It doesnèt look as nice as yours. Very lovely!! Itès hard to pick favs when theyère all so wonderful!! I adore your Barbra Streisand, Iceberg and Black Magic. I think I might want to get Barbra Streisand - especially since we donèt get blackspot here. Lovely, lovely - thanks! Carol |
