Here are some of my roses, and some group shots. I have a small yard so everything grows pretty tightly together.
Part of a front yard bed with Sophie's Perpetual in front, Lady Hillingdon on the right, Carding Mill on the left, and lots of buds of Jude the Obscure on the far left

Souvenir de Claudius Denoyel. It has been blooming very well for a young plant. The fragrance is wonderful. There is more blue in it than my monitor is showing.

Gertrude Jekyll. I pruned it ruthlessly in winter so it has been small so far.

Rosette Delizy

William Shakespeare 2000. This one is probably going on 6' across and about 3' up. I have two of them on either side of the driveway. The shrubs next to it are the neighbors'

Mme Berard climbing an arbor. The sweet pea shrub really wasn't supposed to get that close to it but it grew larger than expected:-)

I like this dreamy picture

Roseraie de l'Hay. Mine is a grafted plant from DA

A little pelargonium I like. The rose to the left is a very old Just Joey

Sharifa Asma and Ebb Tide
{{gwi:209447}}From Antiques May2010
A close-up of Sharifa. I don't think it is a typical-looking bloom

Cecille Brunner, unpruned and mostly uncared for

This is a bed in the back yard. It has mostly young plants - Heaven on Earth, Julia Child, Angel Face, Cecille Brunner and Zeffy on the fence
{{gwi:209451}}From Antiques May2010
First bud on Old Korbel Gold. The bloom is quite large and the fragrance very strong
{{gwi:209452}}From Antiques May2010
Christopher Marlowe looking pinker than usual
{{gwi:209453}}From Antiques May2010
Variegata di Bologna. It blooms generously but suffers from every conceivable disease. If I touch a cane rust rains down on me. I don't know why I keep it.
{{gwi:209454}}From Antiques May2010
A bloom of Reichpraesident von Hindenburg lying in the thyme. The tiny buds next to it are the polyantha Sweet Pea

Yves Piaget. My bush is doing much better this year, not a bloom has balled despite the cold spring. Maybe it needed time to mature.

Jude the Obscure. I love the fragrance!

Crown Princess Margareta and Abraham Darby with Bishop's Castle behind CPM. CPM and I always play a tug of war - she wants to hug the wall and I want her to grow up an arbor. I usually see the basals too late and hence this strange look.
{{gwi:209464}}From Antiques May2010
Baron Girod de l'Ain. Mine is a grafted plant and fairly vigorous.
{{gwi:209465}}From Antiques May2010
Janet. She is a very frustrating rose. I don't know if she's a bush or a climber. Every bloom in this picture had to be staged - they hang straight down on their own.

They are beautiful when you can see them...
