All of your pictures are nice. I'm wondering if you are growing all of your plants on R. fortuniana rootstock. From what I have seen, roses on the fortuniana rootstock get to be extra large, both plants and flowers.

The Bustopher--We grow all of roses on Fortuniana when possible. We do have some on own root and multiflora. Also if we have a rose growing on the other root stocks and it looks like we may lose it we will take cuttings and wedge graft to fortuniana to keep it in our garden. (Case in point--One of first roses we started with was a HT called precious(No Thorns) it is on it's last legs so we took cutting and sent it to someone in Miss. to graft to Fortuniana and will ship it to us this spring.)--Ron
