| Beautiful pic of Charles Aznavour. I love Evelyn, that's a delightful pic with Charles Aznavour in the background. Amazing spider pic, great close up. |
|
| Lovely blooms, as always. I noticed a few roses having that kind of speckling, on their outer petals, but not so much from lack of sun, but rather the colder weather here. Evelyn is looking a little "peachy"in colour. Silver star looks great with Vavoom and Graham Thomas. |

| Lovely roses! At least you're getting blooms on your Summer Fashion. I didn't get a single one this year. It's moved out to the new bed now so I hope it likes it better out there. |

| That "Silver Star" is incredible, a good blue color is hard to find. What part of Evelyn that you love, and which part do you hate? Here I hate Mary Rose all the way for its wicked thorns (I still hold a grudge for her pricking me!). It's so nice to see loaded bushes from sunny California. Here in our cold zone we have so little sun that I do my "happy dance" over one single bloom. |

| Great showing with Vavoom |

| Strawberryhill, I love Evelyn's photogenic blooms. But it has very long canes with blooms at the tips only. Sometimes they open with lots of brown spotting--thrips maybe? There are long spaces between flushes. I think it would be better as a climber so the canes could be horizontal. When it is good, it is very good. It just doesn't preform regularly. |

| Your pictures just got me excited about having Vavoom and St Patrick on order for spring! They are stunning! I hope they perform as well in my garden! ~Tammy |

| Tammy, Vavoom took off right away. No need to wait for this rose. St. Pat, on the other hand, needed patience. I got a not-so-hot bareroot at Cosco and it took several years to really come into its own. It was worth the wait. It looks great next to purple Route 66. |
