Some of them like The Dark Lady, Charmian, Rasberry Parfait, Belinda's Dream and Coquette des Blanches have only been in my garden a year or two while others like Cottage Rose, Duchesse de Brabant and Sister Elizabeth are older friends. I hope you like them.

I really like your Dainty Bess - which is strange because I don't like single roses. LOL Is it a lighter pink than it is supposed to be? I really like the look of all the anthers/pistils(?) in the center of the bloom. Very nice! Carol

Hi everyone. My husband and I have stopped spraying fungicides on our roses...which means that most of them are getting some blackspot. And of course, we're getting tired of the Japanese beetles. :0( We have decided to keep some, but garden with more perennials. We live in Baldwinsville, just outside Syracuse. Are any of you interested in coming out to either buy some of them (maybe $7 each, or 4/$25 or all 8/$50?) or trade some of your more unusual perennials for them? I especially am interested in the newer echinaceas, phloxes etc. Let me know if you're interested and I will tell you what we have. Thanks! Phyl

There are so many lovely roses here that I can't quite decide which ones I like best, and I don't have time to mull over them right now. I'll give everything a closer inspection tonight, but in the meantime, you might tell me more about Raspberry Parfait--I caught my breath when I saw it!

Lovely photos!

Ingrid, I really like all the beautiful colors of the blooms, the William R. Smith reminds me of ice cream.

Charmian is really lovely, love the pink Austins.

Thanks for the lovely photos Ingrid.

Your Sister Elizabeth is so much lighter pink than mine was, mine usually looked lilac in colour with button centres.

Your garden is lovely.

Souvenir d'un Ami and The Faun are my favorites! I don't have a place for more pink roses, but I am always drawn to them. Thanks, Ingrid!

Thank you all again. Robert, my Sister Elizabeth is just like yours when it opens fully. Steve, usually Souvenir d'un Ami is the darker of the two and also has smaller blooms. They're both winners.

Daisy, I'll try to get some garden shots. The garden looks not as nice this year because we had to take out the lush green tree in the front; it was buckling up the pavement. I also have a lot more disease this year, probably because of our freaky weather.
