Mmmmm, yum! I love that Freckles!

I love my Buck's too! I think he had a great eye for pretty blooms. There's such a wide variety of colors and forms in his roses. And a lot of them have wonderful fragrance as well!

Great pics, I especially like Freckles.

Delightful roses, I love all of them but I must say Frckles is very unique!

What is your favorite Buck pink in terms of not spotting on the bush?

Freckles is coooool! and your DD looks just like mine! I always feel like I'm seeing my Doppleganger, hehe! Love the form of Prairie Star, Tammy!

Thank you all for the comments! Yes, Freckles is my favorite also! It has huge flushes and repeats quite fast...always a good thing! Mantis...I would have to say that both Freckles and Distant Drums are excellent in terms of BS. My garden is practically a no-spray (I get out about every 4-6 weeks to spray), and these two bushes always have healthy foliage! On the flip side, I would put Prairie Star and Golden Princess as moderatly healthy...they're pretty good, but do become defoliated occationally. Dorcus, I haven't had long enough to make a good judgement on...but it appears to be healthy as well!

I have Carefree Beauty and it is a wonderful rose.

While I love Prairie Star, I can barely get a decent bloom that does not ball. This is definitely one for the hot and dry climate, I think it would do better. Such perfect blooms though.
