|
| They are all lovely. Rayon Butterflies is new to me, very nice. |
|

| Tammy, great roses. My favorite is Tootsie's Lounge. Could you please say a few words about this rose? Thank you, Marina |
|
| Thanks for all the comments! I love to hear people's different opinions regarding which their favorites are! Marina, Tootsie's Lounge was a rose released by Memphis Hybridizer, Whit Wells in 2011. I love some of his miniflora roses, and I bought this one sight unseen (there was no picture on his website or HMF at the time) because the desription sounded interesting to me: a greyish-red floribunda...hmm! After seeing its blooms, I really LOVE it! It's very similar to my Hot Cocoa, but the blooms last much longer, and the color is even more russet/chocolate than Hot Cocoa, although Hot Cocoa's blooms are a little fuller. I also have not had any blackspot with it, which is a nice change. Its a little slow to repeat, but it was just planted this summer, so it may just need time (plus I left it in a 1 gallon pot for 2 months deciding where to plant it...lol...but it adjusted to the abuse quite well!) Here's a couple more pictures of it:

| My favorites are Caramel, Break O Day and Mesmerized. Just gorgeous!!!! How are they for fragrance and which one do you like best? Tootsie's Lounge keeps calling to me too. What an unusual name! Carol |
