| Nice bouquet, and quite showy. The use of color in the first picture is quite nice. The yellow in the roses offsets the red in the vase and brown in the table while it is picked up in the leaves of the green vine which to me looks like a philodendron of some kind. Just my 2 cents worth. Maybe you will have roses for Christmas. |

| Renee, wow the ability of your Henry Fonda to bloom in December is quite impressive! Lucky you! Looks like you are living in a nice home! Thanks for posting! Christina |

| Rushing to see a sneak peak at your beautiful roses- while I'm still online! Gorgeous! |

| Your bouquet makes the grocery store ones look pathetic. This was my Dad's favorite rose is his later life. No fade even in reflected heat and what a great saturated yellow. No brassiness (is that a word?). Seems to be it lasted fairly well? |

| Henry lasts for a week in the vase. Probably longer if I had cut them as buds. Masha, I feed with a shallow layer of compost at least once a year. I wish I had more, but the chickens can only poop so much. This is my husband's favorite too, irisgal. I wish it had a better backdrop so it would show up better. I cut another bouquet of 21 roses the other day, and there are still about eight buds on the plant. |

| Those are lovely in that sienna brown vase. Ditto on what the bustopher said. It sounds like a good grower too. |
