Gosh I love the color of Big Purple!! So intense!! I have mine next to Gina Lollabrigida and Ch-Ching. The intense yellows really go well with Big Purple. You really captured the color and the beauty of BP very well. Lovely!

Also really love your Hot Cocoa - just captures one's gaze.

All of your roses are just beautiful! Thanks for the look. :)

I didn't recognize Big Purple at first because yours is a rich true purple while my two should be called Stephen's Big Neon Magenta. I have to admit that the color does darken in the fall, but mine just haven't pleased me. Does your BP have a stingy rebloom like mine? All your blooms are just incredibly beautiful-I don't think I could pick a favorite, although Cafe has an intriguing color. They all look like porcelain perfection. Diane

Roses in December, that's wonderful! I love all your roses. That Stephen's Big Purple really is purple! My favorites are Bill Warriner, Mellow Yellow and Almost Sunset,

Love the unusual colour of Cafe. All your roses have a lovely shape for December blooms. The first look of STEPHEN'S BIG PURPLE gave me a wake up jolt.
Thank for sharing.

Beautiful, Beth! Love By Appointment and Bill Warriner!

Thanks everybody! Yeah that's not really the "usual" coloring on my BIG PURPLE. It's normally a bright magenta like Diane said. It really was that purple this time tho. Cooler temps I guess. And Diane, mine repeats a few times during the season, but not many blooms in each flush. And Carol, you're right. The deep purply with the yellows does look good. Altho I have my SBP in the "purple/mauve/coral" bed. But I do have a yellow/purple bed above the driveway. It's pretty when they're blooming. But it's mostly the yellows that bloom well in that bed.

It seems like the purples are holding up well for some reason although for the gardens the end is near. It all looks nice from a distance.

Why is it BILL WARRINER always stops me dead. Is this rose extra photogenic!? Too beautiful Beth.

They are all lovely, but that first purple one is (forgive the pun), a knock-out!

Fantastic Beth! :)

Wow- how amazing! Your roses are spectacular. Thx for taking the time to post them for us to enjoy.
