| This has been one of the best Falls I've seen in awhile. The temps get quite cold, especially at night, but some days have reached up to the low 70's. The roses are blooming and still growing. Could be that finally many of them have gotten acclimated and are happy to keep going as long as they can. Whatever the reason, it's really great to still have so many pretties blooming.
BILL WARRINER has been particularly gorgeous lately
BOULIE'S DREAM is still going strong... with several other blooms a couple feet above this one. It's peaking out at about 7ft.
BRANDY seems to be liking the cooler temps.
DOUBLE PERFECTION is one of my favorites from Certified Roses. Don't see it much anymore tho...
EMMA (de Meilland) looking good.
GINGER - a very vivid red-orange FL.
KONFETTI - a florist rose
LADY MAVIS PILKINGTON is a good orange-yellow one gotten at Palatine a few yrs ago. Not sure if they still offer it or not.
MILVA is an amazing florist rose. Probably one of my favorite oranges.
MISS BEHAVIN' - had a hard time getting the color right for some reason. It was much more intense and a bit more leaning towards the purply tones than usual. The size of the bloom was amazing too... about 5"!
MON CHERI - one of my original roses from 18yrs ago or so. Still looks good.
NEW ZEALAND - not the best bloomer for me. This was the first bloom all yr!
NOBILO'S CHARDONNAY aka PEACHY turns more yellow in cool temps.
"PERFECT LADY" - my name for a J&P test rose never marketed. It's a shame. Gorgeous pure pink blooms that are rarely out of bloom! Has a decent light scent too.
PERFECT MOMENT - love the intense veining on this one!
POETRY IN MOTION aka GIFT OF LIFE bloomed like crazy this yr.
SCANDIA - another good one from Certified Roses; also not seen much...
SUMMER SAMBA - a J&P FL that kinda went into obscurity. Altho, I think Roses Unlimited might have it now.
