Good ordering John, I think you will be pleased with them. You should add Jean Kenneally to the list if you dont have her already. It has that HT bloom form, is somewhat fragrant & healthy. I like the apricot color too.

You may not get a 7-day vase life out of Dr. John, it doen't have enough petals to sustain that length of time. The others have a lot of petals, and I know SI and BK will last a week. Sounds like an overall good set of roses, enjoy!

The two MOST important things to me are fragrance - the more intense the better, and size - the smaller the better. Can anyone make a mini-rose recommendation based on these two qualities? I love red, but any color that is small and fragrant will do. Thank you.

I've grown most of the roses that you ordered...just want to mention that Dr. John isn't a prolific bloomer and has been very slow to get going for me. Maybe you'll have better luck in your area. Anyway, have fun with your babies.
