A Nosy Questionnaire

No, I don't want to quiz you about your love life or how many drinks you down before or after dinner (well, if you really want to share...). I want to learn a bit more about your roses. Just three easy questions:
1. How many roses do you currently have?
2. How many have you discarded by shovel pruning or giving them away?
3. Ultimately, how many roses would you like to have in your garden?
I'll go first:
1. After my March delivery I'll have 92 roses.
2. I've shovel pruned or given away (regretfully, mostly the former) 50 roses.
3. Because of our dry climate, I'd like to end up with fewer roses to decrease water usage. Somewhere between 60 and 70 roses seems right to me. Once the roses mature that number should enough to make a significant impact on the landscape.
I'm looking forward to your responses. I imagine I'm not the only one who'd enjoy knowing these details
